MAINTENANCE
19
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. ALWAYS remove battery when servicing or transporting the mower.
WARNING:
In order to reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose the mower to water.
The underside of the mower deck should be cleaned after each use, because grass
clippings, leaves, dirt, and other debris will accumulate, which will cause rust and corrosion.
Use only a YARDWORKS replacement blade (60-7119-4).
1. REMOVE BATTERY.
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 "COUNTER-CLOCKWISE" to loosen it and "CLOCKWISE" to tighten it.
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. Using a 15-mm socket or
wrench, turn the blade nut "CLOCKWISE” in order to secure the blade.
Remove any build-up of grass and leaves on or around the motor cover (do not use water).
Occasionally wipe the mower clean with a dry cloth. If debris builds up on the underside of the
mower during use, stop the motor, disconnect it from the battery, and then tilt the mower forward
or on its side, and scrape it clean using an appropriate tool.
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 24 of this Manual.
