Adjusting the Cutting Height
Replacing the Cutting Blade
1. Adjust the cutting height to the desired setting.
2. Simply move the lever (1) toward the wheel, and
then place it in the desired position.
This will set all of the wheels to the same height.
3. To raise the height, release the height adjust
ment lever from its current position, and pull
it toward the back of the mower.
4. To lower the height, release the height adjust
ment lever from its current position, and
push it toward the front of the mower.
A single height adjustment lever is used to adjust the cutting height. The lever has six height positions.
The height of the cut can be changed by moving the lever from one position to another.
WARNING: Be sure to UNPLUG THE POWER CORD before adjusting the height.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Always stop the motor and disconnect it from the power source before cleaning, lubricating,
or performing any repairs or maintenance.
Replacing the Cutting Blade
WARNING: Always protect your hands by wearing heavy gloves and/or wrapping the cutting edges with
newspapers or other materials when performing any maintenance on the blades. Be sure to disconnect the
mower from the power supply.
Removing the Blade
Stop the motor and disconnect the mower from the power supply. Turn the mower on its side.
Wedge a block of wood between the blade and the mower deck in order to prevent the blade from turning
when the nut is removed. Using a 15 mm wrench or socket, loosen the blade nut and remove the blade
Installing the Blade
WARNING: The blade hardware is not only used to attach the blade assembly, but it is also an insulated
safety device, and should never be altered in any way. If replacement is necessary, use original equipment
parts, as shown in the parts list on page 16. Verify that the blade hub assembly has bottomed out against
the motor shaft. Place the cutting blade, locking plate, and blade nut against the blade hub assembly, and
tighten the blade nut finger-tight.
NOTE: Be sure to replace the parts in the exact order in which they were removed. When installing the cutting
blade, verify that it is installed with the curved ends pointing toward the mower deck, and not toward the ground.
Tighten the blade nut using a torque wrench in order to ensure that it is tightened properly.
The recommended torque for the blade nut is 450 to 600 in-lb. (52 to 69 NM) In order to ensure safe operation of
blade.
