Replacing the Blades

Note. Before making any adjustment or maintenance procedures to the
mower ensure it is turned off and the spark plug lead is removed.
Note. Wear heavy gloves to protect your hands.
1. Tilt the mower back (Fig W) so the spark plug (24) is facing up, and
disconnect the spark, by pulling spark plug cover (24) off.
2. Whilst securely holding the bar blade (26) with gloves on, use a 17mm
spanner (not supplied) to undo the blade bolt (27). (Fig X)
3. Remove the bar blade (26), and be careful not to slide the blade adaptor
off and dislodge the key on the shaft. (Fig Y)
4. Clean dirt and grass from around the blade mounting area.
5. Replace the bar blade (26), ensuring you hold onto the adaptor whilst
tightening the blade bolt.
IMPORTANT: Ensure the two drive lugs on the adaptor are engaged in the
two holes in the blade. (Fig Z)
6. Tighten the blade bolt tightly (40-50Nm). (Fig X)
Check lawn mower blades regularly. Look for damage, bends and dullness.
Blades should be replaced every year or two depending on usage, or when
they become worn and no longer cut the grass cleanly.
The performance of grass catching can also reduce if the blade become
worn. Replacement blades are available for purchase from
