REPLACING THE CUTTING BLADE
NOTE: Only use authorised replacement blades. Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to
preserve balance.
1. Stop the motor. Allow blade to come to a complete stop.
2. Turn the mower on its side.
3. Wedge an obstruction (6) between the blade and mower deck to prevent the blade from turning.
4. Loosen the blade nut by turning it counterclockwise (as viewed from bottom of mower) using a
15 mm wrench or socket (not provided) (5).
5. Remove the blade nut (1), spacer (2), blade insulator (3), and blade (4).
6. Make certain the blade holder is pushed completely against the motor shaft.
7. Place the new blade on the shaft. Ensure blade is properly seated with shaft going through centre
blade hole and the two blade posts inserted into their respective holes on the blade. Make sure
it is installed with the curved ends pointing up toward the mower deck and not down toward the
ground. When seated properly, the blade should be flat against the blade holder.
8. Replace the blade insulator and spacer, then thread the blade nut on the shaft and finger tighten.
NOTE: Make certain all parts are replaced in the exact order in which they were removed.
9. Torque the blade nut down clockwise using a torque wrench (not provided) to ensure the bolt is
properly tightened. The recommended torque for the blade nut is 62.5~71.5 kgf-cm
(350-400 in.-lb).
