Maintenance and care

10.5 Mowing blade

To obtain best mowing results we recommend to
have the blade sharpened / balanced or replaced
at least once every year.
Special tools, such as a torque wrench for
example, are required to mount the blade to
the mower. For safety reasons we recommend that
the mowing blade is sharpened, balanced and re-
fitted by an authorized specialist workshop only.
The following notes are therefore only intended for
specialist repair shops.
Blade replacement
The spark plug cap has to be
removed prior to any work.
Proper gloves are to be worn when
replacing the blade.
When replacing the blade only original SOLO
spare parts are to be used. The identification no.
on the blade has to agree with the order no. for the
replacement.
Never install a different type of blade!
ENGLISH 14
Use the holding pin (A) as a blocking device for the
blade. Insert the holding pin from below into the
bore in the housing. The blade fastening screw has
a regular right-handed thread. To remove the
screw we recommend using a socket wrench
21 mm (spark plug wrench) or hex. wrench 8 mm,
5/16".
At re-assembly of the overload clutch be sure and
observe the sequence in which these parts where
previously assembled. The blade screw is to be
tightened with the specified torque of 40 Nm.
Damaged blade
The engine needs to be shut off and the spark plug
cap has to be removed if the blade has come in
contact with a foreign object or other obstacle.
After the blade stops, tilt the mower (see
chap. 10.1) and check the blade for damage.
Deformed or bent blades are not to be re-aligned.
Damaged parts are to be replaced immediately. If
the mower has been driven over a notable
obstacle, the mower needs to be checked by an
authorized Service Center. Prior to use make
certain that blade and blade fastening parts are not
damaged. If necessary, parts need to be checked
or replaced. Never operate the mower with an
unbalanced blade - this would cause vibration and
additional damage.
Sharpening the blade
Note: The blade may be sharpened with a metal
file; however, we recommend that
resharpening/sanding is done by an authorized
Service Center who will pay attention that the same
amount is sanded off on each side to avoid any
imbalance.
The cutting edge of the blade is only be resanded
up to the imprinted markings.
