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.
