Replacing the Blade

Service Interval:

Yearly

Important:

You will need a torque wrench to

install the blade properly.

If you do not have a

torque wrench or are uncomfortable performing
this procedure, contact an Authorized Service
Dealer.

Examine the blade whenever you run out of fuel. If the
blade is damaged or cracked, replace it immediately.
If the blade edge is dull or nicked, have it sharpened
and balanced, or replace it.

WARNING

The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can
result in serious personal injury.

•

Disconnect the wire from the spark plug.

•

Wear gloves when servicing the blade.

1.

Refer to

Preparing for Maintenance (page 16)

.

2.

Tip the machine onto its side, with the dipstick
down.

3.

Use a block of wood to hold the blade steady.

Figure 23

4.

Remove the blade (turn the blade bolt
counterclockwise), saving all the mounting
hardware.

5.

Install the new blade (turn the blade bolt
clockwise) and all mounting hardware.

Important:

Position the curved ends of the

blade to point toward the machine housing.

6.

Use a torque wrench to tighten the blade bolt
to 25 N∙m (18 ft-lb).

Important:

While holding the blade with

a block of wood, put your weight behind

the ratchet or wrench and tighten the
bolt securely. This bolt is very difficult to
overtighten.
