Mowing Blade - Solo 546 Manual De Instrucciones

Maintenance and Care

9.5 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, at the Model
546RT release the tension of the Touch-N-
Mow® starter system by implementing an
engine start without ignition, and remove
the safety key (item 18)..

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!
Niemals ein fremdes Messer einbauen!
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
(illustration 14). The blade screw is to be tightened
with the specified torque of 45Nm (4,5mkp).

Damaged Blade
The engine needs to be shut off and the spark plug
cap has to be removed if the blade has come in
contact with a foreign object or other obstacle. After
the blade stops, tilt the mower and check the blade
for damage. Deformed or bent blades are not to be
re-aligned.
Damaged parts are to be replaced immediately. If
the mower has been driven over a notable obstacle,
the mower needs to be checked by an authorized
Service Center. Prior to use make certain that blade
and blade fastening parts are not damaged. If
necessary, parts need to be checked or replaced.
Never operate mower with an unbalanced blade -
this would cause vibration and additional damage.
Sharpening of Blade
Fig. 14
Attention: The blade may be sharpened with a
metal file; however, we recommend that
resharpening/sanding is done by an authorized
Service Center who will pay attention that the same
amount is sanded off on each side to avoid any
imbalance.
The cutting edge of the blade is only be resanded up
to the imprinted markings.
