Important: Position the curved ends of the blade
to point toward the machine housing.
6. Use a torque wrench to tighten the blade bolt to 82
N-m (60 ft-lb).
Important: A bolt torqued to 82 N-m (60 ft-lb) is
very tight. While holding the blade with a block
of wood, put your weight behind the ratchet or
wrench and tighten the bolt securely. This bolt is
very difficult to overtighten.

Service Interval: Before each use or daily
WARNING
The machine may dislodge material from under the
machine housing.
• Wear eye protection.
• Stay in the operating position (behind the
handle).
• Do not allow bystanders in the area.
1. With the engine running on a flat paved surface, spray a
stream of water in front of the right rear wheel (Figure
54).
Note: The water will splash into the path of the blade,
cleaning out the clippings.
2. When no more clippings come out, stop the water and
move the machine to a dry area.
3. Run the engine for a few minutes to dry the housing
to prevent it from rusting.
