Tips for using your Petrol Lawnmower
General Mowing Tips
• Clear the area of sticks, stones, wire, branches and other debris that the blade
could hit.
OPERATION (CONT.)

13
• Avoid striking solid objects with blades. Never deliberately mow over any object.
• If the mower strikes an object or starts to vibrate, immediately stop the engine,
disconnect the wire from the spark plug, and examine the mower for damage.
• For best performance, install a new blade before the cutting season begins.
• Replace the blade when necessary with a replacement blade.
Cutting Grass
• Cut only about a third of the grass blade at a time. Do not cut below the 2-inches
(51mm) setting unless the grass is sparse or it is late fall when grass growth
begins to slow down. Refer to Adjusting the Cutting Height.
• When cutting grass over 6 inches(15cm), mow at a high cutting height setting
and walk slower; then mow again at a lower setting for the best lawn appearance.
If the grass is too long, the mower may plug and cause the engine to stall.
• Warning: Wet grass or leaves can cause serious injury if you slip and contact the
blade. Mow only in dry conditions.
• Alternate the mowing direction. This helps disperse the clippings over the lawn for
even fertilization.
- Replace the blade or have it sharpened.
- Walk at slower pace while mowing.
- Raise the cutting height on your mower.
- Cut the grass more frequently.
- Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full swath with each pass.
Attention! Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal
operating position.

Replacing the Blade
Important: You will need a torque wrench to install the blade properly. If you do not
have a torque wrench or are uncomfortable performing this procedure, contact an
Authorized Service Dealer.
Examine the blade whenever you run out of the gasoline. If the blade is damaged or
cracked, replace it immediately. If the blade edge is dull or nicked, have it sharpened
or replace it.
Attention! The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can result in serious
personal injury.
Wear gloves when servicing the blade.
1. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and hook it onto the retaining
post. Refer to Preparing for Maintenance.
3. Use a block of wood to hold the blade steady. Figure 19.
4. Remove the blade, saving all mounting hardware. Figure

5. Install the new blade and all mounting hardware.
Important: Position the curved ends of the blade to
point toward the mower housing.
6. Use a torque wrench to tighten the blade bolt to
60 ft-lb (45N.m).
Important :A bolt torque to 60 ft-lb is very tight. While holding the blade with a block
of wood, put your weight behind the ratchet or wrench and tighten the bolt securely.
