REMOVING AND INSTALLING
BLADE
DANGER:
RISK OF INJURY.
WHEN REASSEMBLING THE BLADE
SYSTEM, ENSURE EACH PART IS
REINSTALLED CORRECTLY, AS
DESCRIBED BELOW. IMPROPER
ASSEMBLY OF THE BLADE OR OTHER
PARTS OF THE BLADE SYSTEM MAY
CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.
1.
WARNING:
RELEASE BAIL
HANDLE TO TURN MOWER OFF,
WAIT FOR THE BLADE TO STOP, AND
REMOVE SAFETY KEY AND BATTERY
PACKS.
2. Cut a piece of 2x4 wood (34) (about
2 feet long) (610 mm) to keep blade
from turning while removing bolt (35).
3.
WARNING:
Wear gloves and
proper eye protection. Turn the mower
on its side. Be careful of sharp edges
of blade. Position wood and unscrew
bolt counterclockwise with a 1/2”
(13mm) wrench (36) as shown in
Figure V
.
4. Remove bolt (35) and washer (37). Pull
off blade (38) as shown in
Figure W
.
The fan (39) should not be removed.
Examine all pieces for damage and
replace if necessary.
5. The blade can only be attached to the
fan in one direction. To reassemble,
line up the D-shaped hole of the blade
with the D-shaped post of the fan,
ensuring the writing on the blade faces
out away from the mower.
6. To tighten, position the piece of wood
as shown in
Figure X
to keep the
blade from turning. Slide the bolt
through the washer and tighten the
bolt clockwise into place with a 1/2”
(13mm) wrench (36) as shown in
Figure X
.
BLADE SHARPENING
KEEP BLADE SHARP FOR BEST MOWER
PERFORMANCE. A DULL BLADE DOES
NOT CUT GRASS CLEANLY.
WARNING:
USE PROPER EYE
PROTECTION WHILE REMOVING,
SHARPENING, AND INSTALLING BLADE.
ENSURE THAT SAFETY KEY AND
BATTERY PACK IS REMOVED.
Sharpening the blade twice during a
mowing season is usually sufficient under
normal circumstances. Sand causes the
blade to dull quickly. If your lawn has
sandy soil, more frequent sharpening may
be required.
REPLACE BENT OR DAMAGED BLADE
IMMEDIATELY.
