IMPORTANT:
Only use original replacement parts specified
for this mower. The use of parts that do not meet the original
equipment specifications may lead to improper performance of
the lawn mower, may compromise operator safety.
1. Remove the batteries and the safety key from the mower.
2.
Turn the mower on its side to expose the underside of the
blade housing.
3. Use a cloth to grip the blade or wear heavy-duty gloves.
4.
Using a 27 mm lug wrench (not provided), remove
the lug nut securing the blade by turning the lug nut
counterclockwise, then carefully remove the blade
(Figs. 18 to 19).
5. Fit the new blade on the same position and secure with
the original lug nut (Fig. 20).
Storage
Follow the steps below to prepare the lawn mower for storage:
1. Remove the batteries and the safety key from the
battery compartment.
2. Remove the grass collection bag. Engage the height
adjustment lever in the lowest cutting height slot.
3. Clean the mower with a damp cloth or hand brush.
4. Inspect the mower carefully for worn, loose or damaged
parts. Check connections and screws and tighten if
necessary. Pay special attention to the mower blade and
replace/sharpen if it shows signs of wear. Refer to the
Maintenance and Care section.

out of the reach of children. Do not store the unit next to
