MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Illustrations and pictorials begin on page 2.
General Recommendations
1.The owner’s responsibility is to maintain this product. This will extend the life of the prod- uct and is also necessary to maintain war- ranty coverage.
2.Check the spark plug, drive brake, lubricate the unit, and clean the air filter once a year.
3.Check the fasteners. Make sure all fasteners are tight.
4.Follow the Maintenance section to keep the unit in good operating condition.
WARNING: Before you make an in- spection, adjustment, or repair to the unit, disconnect the spark plug
lead. Remove the wire from the spark plug to prevent the engine from starting by acci- dent.
NOTE: Torque is measured in foot pounds (metric Nm). This measurement describes how tight a nut or bolt must be. The torque is measured with a torque wrench.
Inspect Blade (Figure 15)
WARNING: Before you inspect or remove the blade, disconnect the spark plug lead. If the blade hits an
object, stop the engine. Check the unit for damage. The blade has sharp edges. When you hold the blade, use gloves or cloth material to protect your hands.
If you keep the blade (1) sharp and inspect the blade for damage, the blade will cut better and be more safe to operate. Frequently check the blade for excessive wear, cracks, or other dam- age. Frequently check the nut (3) that holds the blade (1). Keep the nut (3) tight. If the blade hits an object, stop the engine. Disconnect the spark plug lead. See if the blade is bent or damaged.
Check the blade adapter (5) for damage. Before you operate the unit, replace damaged parts with original equipment parts. See the au- thorised Hayter dealer in your area. Every three years, have an authorized service person inspect the blade or replace the old blade with an original equipment part.
How To Remove And Install The Blade (Figure 15)
1.Remove the mower housing. See the instruc- tions on “How To Remove The Mower Hous- ing”.
2.Use a piece of wood to keep the blade from rotating.
3.Remove the nut (3) that holds the blade (1).

4.Check the blade (1) and the blade adapter
(5)according to the instructions for “Inspect Blade”. Replace a badly worn or damaged blade with an original equipment blade. See an authorised Hayter dealer in your area.
5.Clean the top and bottom of the mower hous- ing. Remove all the grass and debris.
6.Mount the blade (1) and blade adapter (5) on the mandrel (6).
7.Mount the blade (1) so that the hi-lift edges
(7)are up. If the blade is upside down, the blade will not cut correctly and can cause an accident.
8.Fasten the blade (1) with the original washers and nut (3). Make sure the outside rim of the Belleville washer (2) is against the blade (1).
WARNING: Always keep the nut (3) tight that holds the blade (1). A loose nut or blade can cause an
accident.
9.Tighten the nut (3) that holds the blade (1) to a torque of 30 foot pounds (41,5 Nm).
10.Install the mower housing. See “How To Re- move The Mower Housing”.
How To Check The Blade Rotation Control
WARNING: To prevent an injury, the blade rotation control must operate correctly.
In normal usage, the blade rotation control will not require an adjustment. However, if the cut-
