MOWER MAINTENANCE

Lubrication

Lubricate the wheels, pivot points and linkages with engine oil every 25 operating hours.

Apply a good quality medium grease to the inner control cables at the point of entry and exit from their outer casing.

Cutterblade Removal

Drain the fuel by running the engine until the fuel tank is empty and the engine stops. Remove the spark plug lead and allow the engine to cool. Turn the mower on its left hand side and ensure that the air clean- er side of the engine is uppermost.

Firmly grip the end of the cutterblade with the gloved hand and remove the bolt, spring washer and distance piece securing the cutterblade with a 8mm Hexagon Key.

To prevent accidents never work on the cutterblade unless the spark plug lead has been removed. The cutterblade has sharp edges. ALWAYS wear strong gloves to protect your hands when working on the cutterblade. DO NOT rotate tools towards the cut- ting edges to avoid the risk of injury should the tool slip. ALWAYS use genuine Hayter replacement parts.

The condition of the cutterblade and its mounting arrangement should be checked regularly for signs of wear or damage. Ensure that the cut- terblade is not bent or cracked.

A damaged cutterblade that is out of balance will vibrate excessively and may break. DO NOT use an unbalanced cutterblade.

Regularly check that the bolt securing the cutterblade is tightened to the specified torque of 40Nm.

Replace the cutterblade every 2 years of sooner if excessively worn or damaged.

To prevent injury it is wise to seek assistance when turning the mower on its side.
