For Your Safety
s
Never use the mower unless the grasscatcher or the guards supplied by the
manufacturer are in position.
s
Before starting the mower check blades and bolts for damage or wear.
s
If you strike an obstruction, stop the engine and check the blades for damage.
Worn and damaged blades are major hazards.
s
Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug lead before fitting new blades.
s
Work from the grasscatcher flap.
With the rear flap secured,
undo the blade nut, applying
upward pressure to the bolt
head into the blade disc.
(the head of the bolt will not
rotate due to the diamond
shape in the underside of the
head).
Assembly:
Fit as per the drawing remembering to push the head of the bolt into the
blade disc (this will stop the bolt head from turning).
Ensure correct order of assembly.
DO NOT lay mower on side (4 Stroke models).
s
We recommend changing blades, bolts, nuts and washers as a set. Metal fatigue
and damage may occur which may not be visible to the operator. Always replace all
blades to ensure correct engine balance, reducing vibration and wear. Tighten nuts on
blade bolts to 14-19 Nm or 10-14ft lbs.
s
Always turn the nut to check tightness, not the bolt.
Use only genuine replacement parts made and guaranteed by Victa.
Insist on them from your parts and service dealer.
Detailed fitting instructions are printed on genuine Victa blade packs.
Use of non-genuine blades may void your warranty, and could result
in damage or injury.
