Replacing The Blade - Hayter CODE613A Operator's Manual

Replacing the Blade

Service Interval: Yearly
Important: You will need a torque wrench to install the blade properly. If you do not have a torque wrench
or are uncomfortable performing this procedure, contact an Authorised Service Dealer.
If the blade is damaged or cracked, replace it immediately. If the blade edge is dull or nicked, have it
sharpened and balanced, or replace it.
WARNING: When servicing the blade, be aware that the blade can still move even though the power
source is off. The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can result in serious personal injury.
Wear gloves when servicing the blade.
1. Remove the electric-start button and battery pack from the machine.
2. Use a block of wood to hold the blade steady. Figure 24.
3. Remove the blade, saving all mounting hardware. Figure 24.

4. Install the new blade and all mounting hardware. Figure 25.
Important: Position the curved ends of the blade to point toward the mower housing.
Figure 25
5. Use a torque wrench to tighten the blade bolt to 45 N∙m.
Important: A bolt torqued to 45 N∙m is very tight. While holding the blade with a block of wood, put your
weight behind the ratchet or wrench and tighten the bolt securely. This bolt is very difficult to overtighten.
