LAWN MOWER BLADE
ACPM06
For use with RYOBI 21 in.
40V Lawn Mowers ONLY
WARNING:
If the hub and/or the adaptor have
been removed, replace them before
placing blade on the shaft. Failure to
do so could cause the blade to detach
or become unbalanced since blade will
not tighten properly, which can result
in serious personal injury.
„ Place the new blade, with cladding
material on the reverse side of blade,
against the blade posts on the hub.
Ensure blade is properly seated with
shaft going through center blade hole
and the two blade posts on the hub
inserted into their respective holes on
the blade. Make sure it is installed with
the curved ends pointing up toward
the mower deck and not down toward
the ground. When seated properly, the
blade should be flat.
„ Replace the blade insulator and spacer,
then thread the blade nut on the shaft
and finger tighten.
NOTE: Make certain all parts are re-
placed in the exact order in which they
were removed.
„ Torque the blade nut down clockwise
using a torque wrench (not provided) to
ensure the bolt is properly tightened.
The recommended torque for the blade
nut is 325 – 400 in.lbs.
WARNING:
Ensure blade is properly seated and
the blade nut is tightened to the torque
specifications above. Failure to prop-
erly attach the blade could cause it
to come loose and result in possible
serious personal injury.
BLADE REPLACEMENT
INDICATOR
Some mowers are equipped with a blade
replacement light. The blade replacement
indicator light turns red after a certain
amount of hours/uses indicating it is time
to change the blades. Self-sharpening
blades can be used for two cycles of hours.
Reset the light one time before the blade
is recommended to be replaced.
To reset:
„ Reinstall the start key and reconnect
the battery packs.
„ Engage and release the bail to illumi-
nate the LED dashboard.

times within three seconds to reset.
