Maintenance

Changing the Oil

Tilt the lawnmower towards the oil filler, have a container ready to catch the oil and remove the
dipstick. Once the oil has been emptied, wipe clean any spillages.
Refill with 500ml SAE30 oil or equivalent ie SAE5W/30, SAE10W/30). When the dipstick is rested
on the filler pipe, the oil level must be between the min and max marks on the dipstick.
See "Filling with Engine Oil''. Do not overfill.
Start the engine and allow it to run briefly.
Stop the engine, wait one minute and check the oil level. Top up if necessary.

Replacing Cutting Blade

WARNING!
- Before you remove the grass collection bag, stop the engine and wait until the blade stops
completely.
- You will need garden gloves (not provided) and a spanner wrench to remove the blade.
- Always handle the blade with care- sharp edges could cause injury USE GLOVES.
- Don't hold the blade by hand directly.
Renew your metal blade after 50Hrs mowing or 2yrs which ever is sooner regardless of
condition.
Regularly check your blade. If the cut of your grass is poor, the blade might be blunt. Damaged
blades not only result in a bad cut, they cause excessive vibration and uneconomical running of
the engine. If the blade has worn excessively and become pitted and blunt, it should be replaced or
sharpened.
NOTE! The blade carrier is designed to break under heavy blade impact to protect the machine. if
this happens also replace the blade carrier. This can be purchased from www.gardenservicecentre.

Maintenance
Replacing Cutting Blade (continued)
1. Tip the machine slightly towards the oil filler pipe and reach under the deck.
2. Hold the blade and unscrew the blade bolt counterclockwise using a spanner wrench. Remove
the washer and the blade.
3. Inspect the blade adaptor on any signs of damage.
4. Fit a new blade, locate the blade on the two studs on the blade flange and then replace the
washer and bolts.
5. Check the washer is still slightly domed to keep the pressure on the bold to stop it unwinding,
keeping the blade firmly secure. Then replace the washer (right way around!) and bolts.
6. Make sure the blade is correctly located, and then firmly tighten the bolt. Do not over tighten. The
up turn of the blade must project into the motor compartment.
NOTE! If you are unsure about performing this operation call our helpline or go to an authorised
dealer to change the blade for you. .
