MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
CHANGING THE OIL
1. Remove dipstick and tilt lawn mower towards oil fill hole. Make sure you have a container ready to catch the oil.
2. Once the oil has been emptied, replace the dipstick and clean up any spillages.
3. Refill with 20.3 fl. oz. SAE30 oil or equivalent, i.e. SAE 5W/30, SAE10W/30.
4. When the dipstick is rested on the oil fill hole (i.e. not fully tightened), the oil level must be between the min
and max marks on the dipstick. See “Adding / Checking Oil." Start the engine and allow it to run briefly. Stop the
engine, wait one minute and check the oil level. Top up if necessary.
REPLACING THE BLADE
For safety reasons, the blade should only be replaced when it is sharpened, balanced, and mounted by an autho-
rized service workshop. For optimal results, it is recommended that the blade should be inspected once a year.
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(not provided) to remove the blade.
NOTE: Don't invert the mower. Tip it slightly towards the oil fill hole and reach under the deck.
• Always handle the blade with care, sharp edges could cause injury USE GLOVES. Replace your metal blade
after 50 hours of mowing or after 2 years, whichever comes first.
• If the blade is cracked or damaged replace it immediately.
• Don't hold the blade directly by hand.
NOTE: Make sure to maintain sharpness of blade. If the blade has worn excessively and become pitted or blunt,
it should be replaced or sharpened. The sharpness of the blade will affect the performance of the lawnmower.
For safety reasons we recommend that the blade only be changed by some-
one qualified and authorized to do so.
Hold the blade and unscrew the blade bolt counterclockwise using a
wrench. Remove the washer and the blade.
Fit a new blade or re-sharpen blade. Position the blade on the two studs of
the blade flange and then replace the washer and bolt. Make sure the blade
is correctly positioned, and then firmly tighten the bolt. Do not over tighten.
The end of the bent tips should point up into the motor compartment.
