cut. When mowing long grass you may have to cut the lawn in two passes, lowering the blade ano-
ther 1/3 of the length for the second cut and perhaps cutting in a different pattern than was used the
first time. Overlapping the cut a little on each pass will also help to clean up any stray clippings left
on the lawn. The mower should always be operated at full throttle to get the best cut and allow it to
do the most effective job of mowing. Clean underside of deck. Be certain to clean the underside of
the cutting deck after each use to avoid a build-up of grass, which would prevent proper mulching.
Mowing leaves. The mowing of leaves can also be beneficial to your lawn. When mowing leaves
make sure they are dry and are not laying too thick on the lawn. Do not wait for all the leaves to be
off the trees before you mow.
WARNING: if you strike a foreign object, stop the motor. Switch off the isolator key, thorou-
ghly inspect the mower for any damage and repair the damage before restarting and operating the
mower. Extensive vibration of the mower during operation is an indication of damage. The unit
should be promptly inspected and repaired.
10. BLADE
The blade is made of pressed steel. It will be necessary to reshape it frequently (with a grind wheel).
Ensure that it is always balanced (an unbalanced blade will cause dangerous vibrations). To check
for balance, insert a round rod through the central hole and support the blade horizontally. A balan-
ce blade will remain horizontal. If the blade is not balanced the heavy end will rotate downwards.
Reshape the heavy end until the blade is currently balanced. To remove the blade (1), unscrew the
blade screw (2).
and replace any parts, which are damaged.
When reassembling, make sure that the cutting edges face in the direction of the motor rotation.
The blade screw (2) must be torque to 20N.m.
WARNING: For service, replace the blade with DAYE blade: DAYE 263003498
Fig. 14
WARNING: Remove the battery from the machine.
WARNING: Protect hands by using heavy gloves or a rag to grasp the cutting blades
when replace the blade.
