Securing Nuts & Bolts
Regularly check that all securing nuts and bolts are tight. Replace
missing or damaged items immediately.
Lubrication
Lubricate the wheels, pivot points and linkages with engine oil
every 25 operating hours.
Apply a good quality medium grease to the inner control cables
at the point of entry and exit from their outer casing.
Cutterblade Removal
To prevent injury it is wise to seek assistance before turning the
mower on its side.
Drain the fuel by running the engine until the fuel tank is empty
and the engine stops. Remove the spark plug lead and allow the
engine to cool. Turn the mower on its side and ensure that the air
fi lter side of the engine is uppermost.
Note how the cutterblade is assembled be removing.
Firmly grip the end of the cutterblade (4) with a gloved hand
and remove bolt (1), spring washer (2) and distance piece (3)
securing the cutterblade with a 9/16" A/F spanner.
(Refer fi g. 26)

To prevent accidents never work on the cutterblade unless
the spark plug lead has been removed. The cutterblade has
sharp edges. ALWAYS wear strong work gloves to protect
your hands when working on the cutterblade. DO NOT
rotate tools towards the cutting edges to avoid the risk of
injury should the tool slip. ALWAYS use genuine Hayter
replacement parts.
The condition of the cutterblade and its mounting arrangement
should be checked regularly for signs of wear or damage. Ensure
that the cutterblade is not bent or cracked.
A damaged cutterblade that is out of balance will vibrate
excessively and may break. DO NOT use an unbalanced
cutterblade.
Regularly check that the bolt securing the cutterblade is tightened
to the specifi ed torque of 54 Nm.
Replace the cutterblade every 2 years or sooner if excessively
worn or damaged.
