Blade Replacement
IMPORTANT:
Only use original replacement parts specified for
this mower.
You can purchase a replacement blade (Model MJ401C-BLD)
and other genuine replacement parts by visiting us online at
snowjoe.com or calling our toll-free customer service helpline
at 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563). 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 and will void the manufacturer's warranty.
1.
Disconnect the safety key to 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 the spanner provided, remove the bolt and
the washer securing the blade by turning the bolt
counterclockwise, then carefully remove the blade
(Fig. 14).
5.
Fit the new blade, the washer and the bolt back on
following the same steps in reverse order (Fig. 15).
Storage
Follow the steps below to prepare the lawn mower for storage:
1.
Remove the safety key from the slot.
2.
Clean the mower with a damp cloth or hand brush.
3.
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.
4.
Store the mower indoors in a dry, clean and cool area
out of the reach of children. Do not store the unit next to
corrosive materials, such as fertilizer and rock salt.

Do not cover the lawn mower with a solid plastic sheet.
Plastic coverings trap moisture around the mower, which
can damage the unit.

The handle on your lawn mower can be folded for
compact storage. Start by loosening the handle knobs on
each side of the upper handle and fold down the upper
handle (Fig. 16).
