1. Remove the Safety Key and the Battery. If you are
charging the Battery in the Mower, first disconnect the
Charger from the electrical (wall) outlet.
2. While holding the Handlebar (as if you were mowing)
turn the Mower over on its right side to expose the Blade.
3. Place the 36mm Wrench over the Steel Hex Adapter (the
large metal piece that holds the Blade in position) and
place a 3/4" Socket or Wrench over the Blade Nut
(Figure 29).
4. While holding the Hex Adapter in place, loosen the Blade Nut by turning counterclockwise. Be
careful, hold the Hex Adapter firmly in place so that the Blade does not spin and strike your hand.
Hold the Wrenches at a slight angle to each other and squeeze together to avoid spinning the Blade.
Squeeze the 3/4" Wrench clockwise to tighten the Nut and counterclockwise to loosen the Nut.
5. Remove the Blade Nut, Steel Hex Adapter, Blade, and Steel Blade Adapter in that order (Figure 30).
6. To install a sharpened Blade or a new Blade, reverse the order of step 5. Be sure to replace all
parts exactly as you removed them (Figure 30) and make sure to properly seat the Blade.
NOTE: Be sure that the stamping on the Blade “THIS SIDE TOWARDS MOWER” is facing the Mower. Also, if
replacing the Blade with a new one, use the new Nut supplied. If you assemble the Blade more than
ten (10) times, replace the Blade Nut with a new one.
7. Place the 36mm Wrench over the Steel Hex Adapter, then place a Torque Wrench with a 3/4"
Socket over the Blade Nut (Figure 29) and while holding the Hex Adapter in place, tighten the
Blade Nut by turning clockwise to 16.6 Ft-Lbs. Again, be careful, hold the Hex Adapter firmly in
place so that the Blade does not spin and strike your hand.
8. Make sure the Blade is firmly attached, and then turn your Mower upright.
Sharpening the Blade
When the Blade is dull, the cut ends of the grass end up
ragged and may turn brown soon after mowing. A dull blade
also causes the Battery to discharge faster. When this occurs,
sharpen the Blade (assuming the Blade is otherwise in good
condition).
Tools and Supplies Needed:
• (See list on previous page)
• Fine-Toothed File or NEUTON Blade Sharpener (optional)
• Safety Glasses
• Vise
1. Remove the Blade (see steps 1 thru 5 above).
2. Secure the Blade in a sturdy Vise and while wearing
Safety Glasses, carefully file the Cutting Edges of the
Blade using even strokes. Be sure to file both sides and
both ends equally.
Simply counting the number of strokes per edge will help to
keep the sharpening equal.
3. Check the blade after sharpening to be sure it is still
balanced (see next page).
