5.5 BLADES
5.5.1 Safety
To reduce the risk of accidental injury in the event
of a collision and to protect important parts in the
cutting deck, a force limiter is integrated as fol-
lows.
• Shear bolts between blades and blade bar.
• Torque limiting between gear wheels and blade
shaft.
• Possibility of positive drive belt slipping on the
plastic gear wheels.

5.5.2 Replacing blades

Wear protective gloves when changing
blade(s) to avoid cutting yourself.
Check that the blades are always sharp.
This produces the best cutting results. The blades
should be replaced once a year.
Always check the blades after a collision. If the
blade system has been damaged, defective parts
should be replaced.
Always use genuine spare parts. Non-
genuine spare parts can entail a risk of
injury, even if they fit the machine.
The blades are replaceable. When replac-
ing, both blades on the same blade bar must be re-
placed to avoid imbalance.
Attention!
Note the following when reassembling:
• The blades and blade bar must be installed as in
fig 6.
• The blades can be turned 1/3 of a turn in their
mountings. Select positions so that the blades
are offset 90° from each other. See "5.5.3" be-
low.
Tightening torque:
Screws (6:P) - 45 Nm
Shear bolts (6:Q) - 9.8 Nm
In the event of a collision, the shear bolts (6:Q) can
break and the blades bend back. If this has hap-
pened, install genuine shear bolts and tighten as
above.
