Replacing Cutting Blade
WARNING!
- Before you remove the grass collection bag, stop
the engine and wait until the blade stops completely.
- You will need garden gloves (not provided) and a
spanner wrench to remove the blade.
- Always handle the blade with care- sharp edges
could cause injury USE GLOVES.
- Don’t hold the blade by hand directly.
Renew your metal blade after 50Hrs mowing or 2yrs
which ever is sooner regardless of condition.
Regularly check your blade. If the cut of your grass is poor,
the blade might be blunt. Damaged blades not only result in
a bad cut, they cause excessive vibration and uneconomical
running of the engine. If the blade has worn excessively and
become pitted and blunt, it should be replaced or sharpened.
NOTE:
The blade carrier is designed to break under
heavy blade impact to protect the machine. if this
happens also replace the blade carrier. This can be
purchased from www.coreservice.co.uk.
1. Tip the machine slightly towards the oil filler pipe and reach
under the deck.
2. Hold the blade and unscrew the blade bolt counterclockwise
using a spanner wrench. Remove the washer and the blade.
3. Inspect the blade adaptor on any signs of damage.
4. Fit a new blade, locate the blade on the two studs on the
blade flange and then replace the washer and bolts.
5. Check the washer is still slightly domed to keep the
pressure on the bold to stop it unwinding, keeping the blade
firmly secure. Then replace the washer (right way around!)
and bolts.
6. Make sure the blade is correctly located, and then firmly
tighten the bolt. Do not over tighten. The up turn of the blade
must project into the motor compartment.
NOTE!
If you are unsure about performing this
operation call our helpline or go to an authorised
dealer to change the blade for you.
