Where required tighten the bolts with a torque wrench,
the centre disc blade bolt torque: 50 – 59Nm and the four
blades torque: 25 – 30Nm.
If you do not have a torque wrench ask a mower service
dealer to tighten the blade bolts before you use the mower.
WARNING. If the blade bolts are not tightened correctly
they could loosen and/or come out and it would be possible
for the blades to fly off while you are operating the mower.
7. Return the mower to the upright position.
8. Start the engine and allow the mower to run for a few
minutes to check that the blade is properly fitted and that
there is no undue noise or vibration. Use only the blade
as recommended by the manufacturer.
