MAINTENANCE
REPLACING T HE CUTTING BLADE
(See Figure 10 -‐ 11)
For safety reasons, we recommend having the blade replaced by an authorized professional.
Important!
Wear work gloves!
Only replace the blade with a genuine replacement blade, as this will ensure top performance and safety under all
conditions.
Carry out the following steps to change the blade:
Undo the fastening screw. (see Fig.10) •
•
Remove the blade and replace with a new one.
•
When fitting the blade, make sure it is installed in the right direction. The blade’s air vanes must jut into the motor
compartment. The dome mounts must be aligned with the punch holes in the blade.
•
Then retighten the fastening screw with the universal wrench. The tightening torque should be approx. 25 Nm.
At the end of the season, perform a general inspection of the lawn mower and remove any grass and dirt which may
have accumulated.
At the start of each season, ensure that you check the condition of the blade. If repairs are necessary, please contact
our customer service center.
Use only original replacement parts.
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.
