BLADES
Check the blade mounting bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness.
Check the blade condition frequently, particularly if the mower has hit a foreign
object or is vibrating. Sub-standard cutting and catching will result from a neglected
blade. Your Authorised Dealer can replace blades as necessary, or if you prefer,
supply the parts for you to do yourself.
BLADE CHANGE
1. Disconnect the spark plug wire.
2. Adjust the mower to the high cut position.
3. Lift the rear flap and prop open to give full access to the blades, use only Talon
blade kit number AO9228-305001.
4. Remove the blades, blade retaining bolts, nuts and washers and discard.
5. Fit the new blades, blade bolts, washers and nuts
in set sequence, refer drawing below (to loosen
rotate anti-clockwise, to tighten rotate clockwise).
Blade bolt torque : 14.8-22.0 ft-lb (20-30 N•m)
Always use genuine original equipment parts to ensure safety and proper
performance. Substitute parts can be disappointing and dangerous.

CUT HEIGHT CONTROL
Turn mower off before adjusting cutting height. The single point cut height control
adjusts all four wheels simultaneously. To operate, steady the mower by grasping the
handle with one hand, pull the lever outwards from the mower with the other hand,
and move it to the desired setting.
For heavy or very long grass it is recommended setting the mower cut height to #4
or more to avoid the possibility of clogging. If clogging becomes persistent because
of unfavourable conditions, try walking slower, cutting a narrower strip or raising
the cutting height further.
