To change the blades on a Ryobi RM480e electric ride-on mower:
1. Choose access method: You can either raise the mower or remove the deck. Removing the deck is recommended and simpler.
2. Prepare the mower: - Set the direction control switch to neutral. - Lower the blade engagement knob. - Remove the start key. - Set the parking brake.
3. Disconnect the deck: - Disconnect the cables connected to the cutting deck. - Lower the cutting deck to its lowest position. - Remove the four hitch pins and washers.
