MAINTENANCE
REPLACING THE CUTTING BLADE (See Figure 16-17)
W A R N I N G
Always protect your hands by wearing heavy gloves and/or wrapping the cutting edges with rags
or other materials when performing any maintenance on the blades. ALWAYS remove the key and
battery when servicing or transporting the mower.
Only use authorized replacement blades.
• Stop the motor and remove the key. Allow blade to come to a complete stop.
• Remove the battery pack.
• Turn the mower on its side.
• Wedge a block of wood between the blade and mower deck to prevent the blade from turning.
• For the BLADE I, loosen the blade nut by turning it clockwise (as viewed from bottom of
mower) using a 15 mm wrench or socket (not provided). For the BLADE II, loosen the blade
nut by turning it counterclockwise (as viewed from bottom of mower) using a 15 mm wrench or
socket (not provided).
• Remove the blade nut, spacer, blade insulator, and blade.
• Make certain the motor assembly is pushed completely against the motor shaft.
• Place the new blade on the shaft against the motor assembly. Ensure blade is properly
seated with shaft going through center blade hole and the two blade posts inserted into their
respective holes on the blade. Make sure it is installed with the curved ends pointing up
toward the mower deck and not down toward the ground. When seated properly, the blade
should be at against the motor assembly.
