All protective covers of the lawn mower and the power unit.
The aforementioned parts must always be replaced by spare parts authorised by the
manufacturer or by equivalent spare parts. Please contact your local dealer about this.
12.2
Replacing the blade
WARNING: Do not lift the lawn mower, while the blade is still running. Wait,
until the device comes to a complete standstill. Before doing any service
works, remove the spark plug connector from the spark plug.
After assembly of the blade, turn the lawn mower to its normal working
position (blade unit facing to the ground). Attach the spark plug connector
to the spark plug, and perform a test run of the engine. In case of unusual
vibrations, please contact your local dealer. Do not start the lawn mower in
a tilted position.
As regards to safety, the cutting blade is deemed to be a critical item. Therefore only cutting
blades marked with the label "DAYEE DY0608-12" can be used.
To remove the blade: remove the screw, check the blade holder for proper function, and
replace any worn or damaged parts.
Before installing the blade again, check that the cutting edges are properly aligned to the
rotation direction of the engine. The blade screw must be fixed with an electrodynamic tool
with a tightening torque of 3.7 kg/m (37 Nm).
THE BLADE: The blade is made of pressed steel. To ensure efficient working results, sharpen
the blade in regular intervals, around every 25 working hours. Make sure the blade is being
sharpened evenly. Insert a small metal angle (metal edge profile) (
φ2 or φ3 mm) into the
centre orifice of the blade. The blade must be aligned horizontally.
If the blade is not aligned horizontally, align it properly by grinding off some metal from the
side bending downwards.
12.3
Cleaning the mower housing
Dirt deposits make the start difficult, affect the quality of the cut and the discharge of the grass.
Dirt and grass residues are easiest to remove immediately after the mowing. To avoid fouling
the floor, the underside must be cleaned on the grass.
Remove the mulching plug / grass catcher.
Fit the hose connector to the lawn mower and turn on the water tap.
Start the lawn mower and switch it off again after about 30 seconds. The rotating blade
bar will throw the water onto the underside of the lawn mower and thus clean it.
Turn off the water tap and remove the hose connector.
Clean the top with a cloth (do not use any sharp objects).
