REPLACING THE CUTTING BLADE
16
Use only a YARDWORKS replacement blade (60-7100-6).
1. RELEASE THE SWITCH LEVER TO TURN THE MOWER OFF, WAIT FOR THE BLADE TO
COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND THEN REMOVE THE SAFETY KEY.
2. While wearing leather padded gloves, wedge a block of wood between the blade and the
mower deck in order to prevent the blade from turning when the nut is being removed.
3. Using a 15-mm wrench or socket, loosen the blade nut (1) and remove the blade (4). Turn the
nut "CLOCKWISE" to loosen it and "COUNTER-CLOCKWISE" to tighten it (this is a reverse
rotation nut).
4. Remove the blade nut (1), the square washer (2), the insulator washer (3), and the blade.
5. To re-install the blade, position the blade with the cutting edges toward the ground. Assemble
the blade nut, the square washer, and the insulator washer as shown in following illustration.
Using a 15-mm socket with a torque wrench, turn the blade nut "COUNTER-CLOCKWISE” in
order to secure the blade.
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. Refer to the schematic drawing on page 21 of this Manual.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Always protect your hands by wearing heavy gloves and/or wrapping the cutting
edges with rags or other materials when performing any maintenance on the blades.
