using its handle with your other hand.

2)  To maintain safety, the safety flap will close back 

to cover the rear discharge opening, when you 

release the flap.

3)  Empty the grass clippings from the grass catcher 

into the appropriate bin. Check with your local 

council for more information. Refit glass catcher 

as above instruction.

4)  If any grass clippings are caught in the discharge 

chute, clean it using a broom or similar 

extension. 

5)  Do not remove grass debris in the mower casing 

or on/around the blades by hand or with your 

feet. Instead use suitable tools such as a brush 

or broom.

6)  To ensure that the grass clippings can be blown 

into glass catcher, the discharge chute and the 

inside of the mower deck must be cleared of any 

blockage.

11. REPLACING THE BLADES (See Fig. J)

Always check the sharpness of blades before 

cutting grass. If the blades are worn excessively 

and becomes pitted or blunt they should be 

replaced. The sharpness of the blade will affect the 

performance of the lawn mower.

For safety reasons we recommend that the 

blades will only be changed by persons 

qualified and authorized to do so.

WARNING! Before replacing the blades, 

ensure that the engine is switched off 

and the spark plug cap is disconnected and 

moved away from the spark plug.

1)  You will need garden gloves (not provided) and a 

spanner/ wrench to remove the blade holder.

2)  Hold the blade holder and unscrew the blade 

bolt counterclockwise using a spanner /wrench. 

Remove the blade bolt, retaining washer and the 

blade.

3)  Fit a new blade, locate the blade holder on the 

two studs on the blade flange and then refit the 

washer and bolt. Make sure the blade is correctly 

located, then firmly tighten the bolt. Do not over 

tighten (Do not less than 45 N.m tight torque).

The upturned flute of the blade must face the motor 

side of the deck so the blades can throw the grass 

into the catcher. (Do not less than 45 N.m tight 

torque).

Always handle the blade with care-sharp 

edges could cause injury USE GLOVES

Renew your metal blades and bolts after 

50Hrs mowing or 2yrs which ever is sooner 

regardless of condition.

If the blade is cracked or damaged replace it 

with a new one.

MAINTENANCE

1. CLEANING

WARNING! Make sure before carrying 

out any cleaning or maintenance that the 

spark plug cap is disconnected from the spark 

plug and is moved away from the spark plug!

To ensure the best performance of your lawn mower, 

it is important to keep it clean. Always clean your 

lawnmower immediately after use. Do not allow 

grass cuttings and other debris to become dry and 

hard on any of the mower surface. This will directly 

affect the cutting and grass collection performance. 

Make sure that the underside of the lawnmower 

deck is clean and clear.

Ensure the discharge chute and safety flap are 

clean. The grass catcher must always be emptied 

each use. Make sure that the exterior of the engine 

is clear of all debris, cuttings and dirt.
