Cutting Equipment; Replacing The Blades - Husqvarna LB 348V Operator's Manual

Cutting equipment

• Check the cutting attachment for damage or cracks. A
damaged cutting attachment should always be
replaced.
• Always ensure the cutter is well ground and balanced
correctly.
WARNING! Always wear heavy-duty
!
gloves when servicing and maintaining
the cutting equipment. The cutters are
very sharp and cuts can occur very
easily.
CAUTION! The blades should be balanced after
sharpening. Balancing, replacing or sharpening the
blades should be conducted by a service workshop.
Damaged blades should be replaced when hitting
obstacles that result in a breakdown.

Replacing the blades

Dismantling:
• Unscrew the bolt holding the cutter.
• Remove the old blade. Make sure the blade bracket is
free of damage. Also check that the cutter bolt is
undamaged and that the engine shaft is not bent.
MAINTENANCE
Assembly:
• The blade must be mounted with the angled ends
pointing up towards the cover.
• Place the cutter with the friction washer against the
cutter bracket. Make sure the cutter centres correctly
on the shaft. To avoid vibrations, place the mower
cutter so that the cutter bracket marking can be seen
on the sides of the cutter.
• Fit the washer and tighten the bolt correctly. The bolt
should be tightened with a torque of 45-60 Nm.
• Pull the blade around by hand and make sure it
rotates freely.
• Test run the machine.
IMPORTANT!
Always exercise care and use your common sense.
Avoid all situations which you consider to be beyond
your capability. If you still feel uncertain about operating
procedures after reading these instructions, you should
consult an expert before continuing. Contact an
authorised service workshop.
Always use genuine parts. For more information, see
