Before storing your lawnmower out of season
clean and lubricate the wheel adjuster spindle with
grease (this procedure is necessary at least
annually).

position (max)

spindle with grease

(min)

grease.

horizontally with all
wheels on the ground.

counter-clock-wise

8.6 Mowing Blade

Special tools, such as a torque wrench for
example, are required to mount the blade to
the mower. For safety reasons we recommend that
the mowing blade is sharpened, balanced and re-
fitted by an authorized specialist workshop only.
The following notes are therefore only intended for
specialist repair shops.
To obtain best mowing results we recommend to
have the blade sharpened / balanced or at least
once every year.
Replacement of Blade
Proper gloves are to be worn when
replacing the blade. The spark plug
cap has to be removed prior to any
work.
Fig. 12
When replacing any blade parts only SOLO spare
parts are to be used. The identification No. on the
blade has to agree with the Order No. for the
replacement. Never install a different type of blade!
Use the holding pin as a blocking device for the
blade. The blade fastening screw has a regular
right-handed thread. To remove the screw we
recommend using a socket wrench 21 mm (spark
plug wrench) or hex. wrench 8 mm, 5/16". At re-
assembly of the overload clutch be sure and
observe the sequence in which these parts where
previously assembled. The blade screw is to be
tightened with the specified torque of 45Nm
(4,5mkp).
