Cutting System
• Stop the engine and remove the ignition key when servicing.
• Allow the machine to cool off before servicing. An engine and its ancillaries are
very hot after operation and may pose a burn hazard.
Cutting Blades
• When a blade is damaged, replace it and the other blade immediately. Always
replace blades in pair. Damage due to vibration may occur.
• When replacing blades, always replace both blades. Replace blade pins and
wave washers also.
• When a foreign object is tangled with the blade, immediately stop the engine
and remove the foreign object. Damage due to vibration may occur.
• When replacing the blades, inspect the cutting blade stay. If the stay is worn
beyond the wear limit, damaged or deformed, replace it immediately. Contact
your CANYCOM representative for replacement.
• Blades and cutting blade stay can become sharp due to wear. When handling
a blade or cutting blade stay, always wear thick gloves and handle carefully.
Injury may occur.
• When replacing a blade, do not force it to remove. A blade can move suddenly,
causing injury. When it is difficult to remove it, clean the blade and remove
foreign object. Turn the blade back and forth to remove.
