MAINTENANCE
WARNING! To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the battery pack
from the mower before cleaning or performing any maintenance.
WARNING! When servicing, use only manufacturer's recommended replacement
parts and accessories. To ensure safety and reliability, all repairs should be
performed by a qualified service technician.
7.1 Cleaning The Mower
WARNING! Always remove the battery pack when servicing or transporting the
mower.
WARNING! Do not spray the unit with water. Instead, wipe the mower clean with
a damp cloth.
The underside of the mower deck should be cleaned after each use. Grass clippings,
leaves, dirt, and other debris will accumulate over time, causing rust and corrosion.
Remove any build-up of grass and leaves on or around the drive shaft (only
GMSM6200) and motor fan. Do not use water to clean debris.
7.2 Servicing The Blade
WARNING! Remove the battery from the machine before servicing the blade.
WARNING! Protect hands by using heavy gloves or a rag to grasp the cutting
blades when necessary.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Periodically inspect the blade adapter for cracks, especially if you
strike a foreign object.
To remove, sharpen or replace the blade:
1. Turn off the mower and wait for the blade to stop rotating. Remove the battery.
2. Turn the mower on its side.
3. To remove the blade, unscrew the bolt with a suitable wrench, remove the blade and
store the bolt, washer, blade adapter with a flat key in a safe place for later reassembly

4. The blade can be re-sharpened by removing it and either grinding or filing the cutting
edge keeping as close to the original bevel as possible. It is extremely important that
each cutting edge receives an equal amount of grinding to prevent an unbalanced
blade.(Fig.12B)
Improper blade balance will result in excessive vibration causing eventual damage to
the engine and mower. Be sure to carefully balance blade after sharpening.
The blade can be tested for balance by balancing it on a round shaft screwdriver.
Remove metal from the heavy side until it balances evenly.
5. When replacing the blade, use genuine Green Machine
2105200362.
6. To reassemble, place the blade adapter with the flat key to the shaft. Make sure that
the cutting edges face in the direction of the motor rotation. The bolt must be torqued
to 25-30N.m.(Fig.12C/Fig.12D)
