REPLACING THE CUTTING BLADE (Fig. 10-11)
NOTE: ONLY USE IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT BLADES.
• Stop the motor and disconnect the power supply. Allow the blade to come to a
complete stop.
• Turn the mower on its side.
• 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.
• Loosen the blade nut using a 14 mm wrench or socket (not provided).
• Remove the blade nut, and blade.
• Make certain the fan assembly is pushed completely against the motor shaft.
• Place the new blade on the shaft against the fan assembly. Make sure it is installed with
the curved ends pointing up toward the mower deck and not down toward the ground.
• Thread the blade nut on the shaft and finger tighten.
NOTE: MAKE CERTAIN ALL PARTS ARE REPLACED IN THE EXACT ORDER IN WHICH
THEY WERE REMOVED.
• Torque the blade nut down using a torque wrench (not provided) to ensure the bolt is
properly tightened.
NOTE: ONLY USE YARDWORKS REPLACEMENT PARTS. YARDWORKS MOWER BLADE
