6.2.4 Removing and reassembling the blades
WARNING!
- Always wear protective gloves when handling the blades.
WARNING!
-The three blades are con-
nected to each other; the rotation of each
blade engages the rotation of the other two.
1. Grasp the blade (1) firmly and unscrew the
central nut (2).
To assemble, tighten the nut (2) with a torque of
136-163 Nm using a power screwdriver and a
torque wrench.
6.2.5 Sharpening and balancing the blades
A badly sharpened blade causes grass to be-
come yellow and reduces grass collection capa-
bility; if not balanced, excessive vibration can be
caused during use.
Always sharpen both cutting edges of the blade,
using a medium grade grinder.
Sharpening must only be performed from the side
shown in the diagram, removing as little material
as possible.
The blade is to be replaced when the cutting
edge has worn down to 5 mm.
Using the appropriate equipment, check the bal-
ance to make sure that there is a maximum differ-
ence of 2 grams between one side and the other.
