Blade Replacement
For Your Safety
• Before starting the mower check blades and bolts for damage or wear.
• Victa recommends that all maintenance, repair and inspection work be carried out by a
Victa Authorised Service Centre.
Worn and damaged blades are major hazards.
• Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug lead
before fitting new blades.
• Work from the grasscatcher flap.
With the rear flap secured, undo the blade nut,
applying upward pressure to the bolt head into the
blade disc. (the head of the bolt will not rotate due to
the diamond shape in the underside of the head).
Assembly:
Fit as per the drawing remembering to
push the head of the bolt into the blade disc (this
will stop the bolt head from turning). Ensure correct
order of assembly.
DO NOT lay mower on its side (4 Stroke
models).
• We recommend changing blades, bolts, nuts and washers as a set. Metal fatigue
and damage may occur which may not be visible to the operator. Always replace all
blades to ensure correct engine balance, reducing vibration and wear. Tighten nuts on
blade bolts to 14-19 Nm.
• Always turn the nut to check tightness, not the bolt.
Use only genuine replacement parts made and guaranteed by Victa.
Insist on them from your parts and service dealer.
Detailed fitting instructions are printed on genuine Victa blade packs.
Use of non-genuine blades may void your warranty, and could result
in damage or injury.
