REPLACE THE BLADE

WARNING: Wear protective gloves when handling or performing maintenance on the blade to avoid

injury. The blade is sharp and can cut you even when it is not moving.

WARNING: Do not use any blades, or fastening hardware other than the washers and nuts shown in the

following illustrations. These parts must be provided by the manufacturer and installed as shown below.

Failure to use proper parts can cause the blade to fly off and seriously hurt you or others.

1. Remove the retaining washer from the threaded shaft of the gearbox. Leave the dust cup on the shaft.

2. Install the blade and the retaining washer over the threaded shaft.

3. Make sure the raised part of the retaining washer is facing the gearbox and the

raised area fits into the hole in the center of the blade.

4. Slide the blade and retaining washer onto the shaft of the gearbox.

5. Place the cupped washer onto the shaft. Make sure the cupped side of the washer

is toward the blade.

6. Install the blade nut by threading onto the shaft counterclockwise (looking from

bottom of unit).

ADD OIL

The product is shipped without oil. User must add the proper amount of oil before operating the product

for the first time. The oil capacity of the engine crankcase is 2.7 fl. oz. For general use (above 40° F), we

recommend 30W, 4-stroke engine oil.

ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS

Select good quality detergent oil bearing the American Petroleum Institute (API) service classifications

SJ, SL, or SM (synthetic oils may be used). Use the ASE viscosity grade of oil from the following chart

that matches the starting temperature anticipated before the next oil changes.

Engine Oil Temperature Recommendations

To add oil, follow these steps:

1. Make sure the product is on a level surface. Tilting the product to assist in filling

will cause oil to flow into engine areas and will cause damage.

2. Remove the dipstick from the engine.

3. Add oil slowly. Do not overfill.

4. To check the oil level, wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Insert the dipstick into

the oil fill opening without screwing it in. Remove the dipstick to check the oil

mark.

5. Slowly add more oil and repeat step 4 until the oil mark reaches to the top of

the dipstick. Do not overfill the crankcase.

6. Check for oil leaks. Tighten dipstick firmly.
