MAINTENANCE
REPLACING THE CUTTING BLADE (See Figure 13-14)
W A R N I N G
Always protect your hands by wearing heavy gloves and/or wrapping the cutting edges with rags
or other materials when performing any maintenance on the blades. ALWAYS remove the battery
when servicing or transporting the mower.
Use only a GREENWORKS replacement blade (Item#: 333041179).
• REMOVE BATTERY.
• While wearing leather padded gloves, wedge a block of wood between the blade and the
mower deck in order to prevent the blade from turning when the bolt (1) is being removed.
• Using an adjustable wrench or 27 mm socket, loosen the bolt (1) and remove the blade (2).
Turn the bolt “COUNTERCLOCKWISE” to loosen it and “CLOCKWISE” to tighten it.
• Remove the bolt (1) and the blade (2).
• To re-install the blade, position the blade with the cutting edges toward the ground. Assemble
the bolt as shown. Using a 27 mm socket or wrench, turn the blade nut "CLOCKWISE” in
order to secure the blade.
NOTE: Be sure to replace the parts in the exact order in which they were removed. When installing the cutting
blade, verify that it is installed with the curved ends pointing toward the mower deck, and not toward the
ground. Refer to the schematic drawing on page 34 of this manual.
