7.2.1 Blades
For safety reasons, have all blade sharpening,
balancing and mounting work carried out by an
authorized service center. To achieve optimal re-
sults, we recommend to have the blades checked
once a year.
Changing the blades (Fig. 53-54)
When changing the cutting unit, be sure to use
only genuine replacement parts. Never install a
blade from a diff erent manufacturer.

2. When you replace the blades, remember that
because of the diff erent directions of rotation,
2 diff erent blades have to be fi tted. To ensure
that you fi t the correct blades on the correct
sides, refer to the numbers stamped on the
blades:
Blade, right (Item 38): 0606668
Blade, left (Item 39): 0606665

When you fi t the spring washer (Item 1c),

Tightening torque: 40-45 Nm
Damaged blades
If, in spite of all caution, the blade comes into con-
tact with an obstacle, switch off the engine imme-
diately. Wait until the blade comes to a complete
standstill. Pull out the spark plug boot. Check the
blade for damage. Damaged or bent blades must
be replaced. Never straighten a bent blade. Never
work with bent or heavily worn blades as this will
result in vibrations, causing further damage to the
mower.
Important: Risk of injury when working with a
damaged blade.
7.2.2 Adjusting the mower unit (Fig. 42-43)
