Holding the blade firmly in one hand, use a spanner or socket to loosen
the blade screw.
Mounting the blade
Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent possible injury when
handling the blade. Disconnect the spark plug cap and tilt the mower on
its side with air filter and carburettor side uppermost.
Check that all components (the blade, key, blade holder, screws and
washers).are present, clean and in good condition.
Position the blade on its support with the cooling fins facing the engine.
Check the correct alignment and matching of pads with the blade. The
blade must be positioned precisely on its stand.
Tighten the screws connecting all of the components. Make a final visual
check that all parts are present and aligned before tightening the fixing
bolt very firmly with a wrench while holding the blade firmly in one hand
(NB wear suitable gloves).
Spark plug
Check the spark plug initially after the first five
hours of mower use. Thereafter, maintenance of
the spark plug should take place every 25 hours.
Remove the spark plug cap (fig.15) using a rotary
motion and then remove the spark plug with the
wrench provided (fig.16).
Clean off any carbon deposits using a copper brush
and check the electrode gap with a feeler gauge
(the gap should be ≈ 0.7 mm).
Replace and retighten the serviced spark plug and
replace the cap.
If the spark plug is worn or damaged, replace
with a new spark plug of the same or suitable
type for the engine. If in doubt, contact a SANLI
UK appointed dealer.
