WARNING: Take care that fuel does not escape from the tank when the machine is

tipped over.

Turn the mower onto its side and remove

the single bolt and penny washer

securing the blade to the end of the drive

shaft. Hold the blade securely while

removing the bolt, taking care of any

sharp edges.

• An 11/16” wrench will be required.

Replace the blade in reverse order,

ensuring the lugs on the blade holder

engage the blade before tightening the

securing nut.

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER

Dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburettor, reducing engine performance. If

you operate the mower in very dusty areas, clean the air cleaner more often than

specified in the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.

1. Release the clip at the top to remove the air cleaner cover.

2. Remove the sponge filter elements from the air cleaner housing and replace them

if damaged.

CAUTION: IF THE ENGINE IS RUNNING WITHOUT AN AIR FILTER ELEMENT OR

THE FILTER ELEMENT IS DAMAGED, DUST WILL ENTER THE ENGINE, THEREBY

ACCELERATING WEAR. SUCH DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

3. Wash with soap and warm water,

rinse and dry or wash with a non-

flammable solvent and let it dry.

4. Wipe off the dirt in the air cleaner

housing and cover with a damp cloth.

Be careful not to let dirt pas beyond

the housing.

5. Refit the sponge air filter parts and

clip the cover back into place.
