Ryobi 227RD, 232RD, 225RD, 235R manual Assembling the blade guard and grass blade

ASSEMBLY

Assembly of the blade and trimmer head

Assembling the blade guard and clearing blade

It is extremely important that the disc drive’s/support flange’s guide engages correctly in the cutting equipment’s centre hole when assembling the cutting equipment. Cutting equipment assembled incorrectly can result in serious and/or fatal personal injury.

!WARNING!

Do not attach any blade to the unit without proper installation of all required parts. Failure to use the proper parts can cause the blade to fly off and seriously injure the operator and/or bystanders.

Under no circumstances may the cutting equipment be used without an approved guard fitted. See the chapter “Technical data” . If the wrong guard or a defective guard is fitted this can cause serious personal injury.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The machine must be equipped with the correct handlebars, blade guard and harness if either a clearing blade or grass blade are to be used.

Assembling the blade guard and grass blade

•	The guard (A) is fitted
	using 4 screws (L) and the		G
	support plate (M) as set
			F
	out in the diagram.
			E
	NOTE! Use the		D
	recommended blade
	guard.
•	Fit the drive disc (B) on	A
	the output axle.		B
•	Turn the blade axle until		C
	one of the holes in the
	drive disc aligns with the	L
	hole in the gear housing.

•Insert the locking pin (C) in the hole so that the axle

is locked.	M
• Place the blade (D),
support cup (E) and
support flange (F) on the
output axle.

•Fit the nut (G). The tightening torque of the nut is 35-50 Nm (3,5 - 5

kpm). Use the socket spanner in the tool kit. Hold the handle of the spanner as close to the blade guard as possible. The nut is tightened when the spanner is turned against the direction of rotation (left-hand thread).

•Fasten the bracket(H) using the four screws (I).

•The guard (A) is fitted using 4 screws (L) as set out in the diagram. NOTE! Use the recommended blade guard.

•Fit the nut (G). The tightening torque of the nut is 35-50 Nm (3.5 - 5 kpm). Use the socket spanner in the tool kit. Hold the handle of the spanner as close to the blade guard as possible. The nut is tightened when the spanner is turned against the direction of rotation (left- hand thread).

•When slacking off and tightening the saw blade nut, the hands may be injured by the blade teeth. Always hold your hand protected by the blade guard. This is facilitated by the use of a long box spanner. The illustration shows the area in which you should keep the box spanner.
