How to Replace the Blade
Replacing the Blade
Step 4 - Emptying the Grass Bag
WARNING!
Before you remove the grass collection bag, stop the engine and wait until the blade
stops completely.
WARNING!
Always empty the grass bag when you have finished the mowing, even if it is not full.
Stored grass residue is a fire hazard.
To remove the grass collection bag, raise the discharge flap with one hand and remove the grass
bag using its handle with your other hand.
To maintain safety, the discharge flap will close back to cover the rear discharge chute, when you
release the flap.
Empty the grass debris in the grass collection bag, and refit grass collection bag.
If any grass residues are caught in the discharge chute, clean it using a brush.
Do not remove grass debris in the mower casing or on the blade by hand or with your feet.
Instead use suitable tools such as a brush or broom.
To ensure that the cut grass can be collected into grass collection bag, the discharge opening
and inside the mower casing must be cleared of any blockage.
WARNING!
Before you remove the grass collection bag, stop the engine and wait until the blade
stops completely.
WARNING!
You will need garden gloves (not provided) and a spanner wrench to remove the
blade.
NOTE! Don’t invert the mower
. Tip it slightly towards the oil filler pipe and reach under the
deck.
WARNING!
Always handle the blade with care- sharp edges could cause injury USE GLOVES.
Renew your metal blade after 50Hrs mowing or 2yrs which ever is sooner regardless of condition.
WARNING!
If the blade is cracked or damaged replace it with a new one.
WARNING!
Don’t hold the blade by hand directly.
NOTE!
Maintain the sharpness of the blade when cutting grass. If the blade has worn excessively
and become pitted and blunt, it should be replaced or sharpened. The sharpness of the blade will
affect the performance of the lawnmower.
For safety reasons we recommend that the blade will only be changed by persons qualified and
authorised to do so.
Hold the blade and unscrew the blade bolt counterclockwise using a spanner wrench. Remove
the washer and the blade.
Fit a new blade or re-sharpen the blade, locate the blade on the two studs on the blade flange
and then replace the washer and bolts. Make sure the blade is correctly located, and then
firmly tighten the bolt. Do not over tighten. The up turn of the blade must project into the motor
compartment.
