When to Replace

• Replace blades when the cutting edge becomes dull, resulting in frayed or yellowed grass tips.
• Replace immediately if the blade shows signs of structural damage, deep nicks, bending, or excessive metal fatigue.
• Change blades if you experience increased vibration during mower operation, which may indicate an imbalanced blade.

Installation Tips

• Always disconnect the spark plug wire and engage the parking brake before performing maintenance.
• Use a wooden block to wedge the blade and prevent it from rotating while loosening the center mounting bolt.
• Ensure the 6-point star center hole is properly aligned with the spindle shaft before tightening.
• Torque the mounting bolt to the manufacturer's recommended specifications to ensure secure attachment.
• Wear heavy-duty gloves when handling blades to protect against sharp edges.
