Setup and Installation

Before attempting any installation or maintenance, ensure the lawnmower is unplugged from the power source or the spark plug lead is disconnected for petrol models. Always wear appropriate safety gloves to protect your hands from sharp edges.

Tools Required:

• Wrench or socket set (appropriate size for blade bolt)
• Block of wood or similar object to secure the blade
• Safety gloves

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Mower: Tilt the lawnmower onto its side, ensuring the carburetor (for petrol mowers) or air filter (for electric mowers) is facing upwards to prevent fuel or oil leakage.
2. Secure the Blade: Place a block of wood between the blade and the mower deck to prevent the blade from rotating while you loosen the bolt.
3. Remove Old Blade: Using the appropriate wrench, loosen and remove the central bolt holding the blade in place. Carefully remove the old blade, noting its orientation (which side faces up/down).
4. Clean the Area: Clean any grass clippings or debris from the blade mounting area on the mower deck.
5. Install New Blade: Position the new blade onto the mower shaft, ensuring it is oriented correctly. The curved ends of the blade should point upwards towards the mower deck, creating lift for cutting. Align the central hole and any smaller locating holes with the corresponding pins or holes on the mower shaft.
6. Tighten the Bolt: Reinsert the blade bolt and tighten it securely with the wrench. Use the block of wood again to prevent the blade from turning while tightening. Ensure the blade is firmly attached and does not wobble.
7. Final Check: Once installed, manually rotate the blade to ensure it spins freely and does not strike any part of the mower deck.

Operation

With the new blade installed, your Flymo lawnmower is ready for operation. Always follow the safety guidelines provided in your lawnmower's original instruction manual.

Operating Tips:

• Pre-Mow Inspection: Before each use, inspect the blade for any signs of damage or looseness. Ensure the cutting area is clear of stones, sticks, or other debris that could damage the blade.
• Cutting Height: Adjust the mower's cutting height according to your lawn's needs and grass type. Avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass blade length at a time.
• Mowing Technique: Mow in overlapping rows to ensure an even cut. For best results, avoid mowing wet grass, as it can clump and clog the mower.
• Avoid Obstructions: Be vigilant for hidden objects in the grass that could strike and damage the blade.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance of your lawnmower blade will ensure optimal cutting performance and extend its lifespan.

Blade Care:

• Regular Cleaning: After each use, disconnect the mower from power and carefully clean grass clippings and debris from the blade and underside of the mower deck. This prevents buildup that can affect cutting performance and balance.
• Inspect for Damage: Periodically inspect the blade for nicks, bends, cracks, or excessive wear. A damaged blade can lead to an uneven cut, increased vibration, and potential safety hazards.
• Replacement: This blade is a replacement part. While some blades can be sharpened, it is generally recommended to replace severely damaged or worn blades to maintain optimal performance and safety.
• Storage: When storing the lawnmower for extended periods, ensure the blade is clean and dry to prevent rust. Store the mower in a dry, protected area.
