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 ma-
terial 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. Be-
fore 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 in-
spect 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
