Remove awheel assembly and reinstall it in a
different position in order to achieve a higher or
lower position. Refer to the Assembly section also.
Repeat this procedure for all wheels, being certain
to mount them all in the same position at each
corner. Failing to do this will produce an uneven
cut.
Resettingthe CircuitBreaker
The mower is equipped with a circuit breaker, located
on the motor/blade control assembly as shown in
Figure 9. This circuit breaker may trip when too much
strain is placed on the mower. The circuit breaker may
have been tripped if the mower will not run.
If this occurs, unplug the mower, wait
approximately five minutes, then depress the reset
button. Refer to Figure 9.
Plug the mower back in, restart the mower, but be
sure to reduce the strain on the mower (i.e., mow at
a higher cutting height, reduce cutting speed, or
take a smaller width of cut).
If the circuit breaker does not reset, or if it trips
repeatedly under normal cutting conditions, unplug
the mower from the extension cord and unplug the
extension cord from the power source. Then check
to make certain your cord is the correct length and
rating as listed in the Operating YourLawn Mower
section. If the cord is correct and is also not
damaged, take the machine to an authorized
service dealer for repair.

removing the bolt.
Using a 15/16" wrench or socket, loosen the blade
bolt and remove the blade.
InstallingtheBlade
WARNING: The blade hardware is not only
used to attach the blade assembly, but is also an
insulated safety device and should never be altered
in any way. If replacement is necessary, use
original equipment parts as shown in the parts list
on page 16.
Place the cutting blade, locking plate, and blade
bolt on the motor shaft and thread the blade bolt in
finger tight. Refer to Figure 12.
NOTE: Make certain to replace the parts in the exact
order in which they were removed. When installing the
cutting blade, be sure it is installed with the curved ends
pointing towards the mower deck and not towards the
ground.
Torque the blade bolt down using a torque wrench
to assure the bolt is tightened properly. The
recommended torque for the blade bolt is 450-600
in. Ibs. To insure safe operation of your unit, all nuts
and bolts must be checked periodically for correct
tightness.
