Change the knife by loosening the bolt, replace the knife with a new and replace the bolt. Always check that the knife is properly fastened and in balance after replacement.

Risk of overheating

Should the motor stop during use, it can be caused by overheating. This product is equipped with a thermos switch, which will stop the motor if it is being used too hard. If that happens, let the motor cool off for 5 minutes before starting it again. If the machine cuts in long and wet grass or if it continues to operate, while the collection box is full, there is a high risk of overheating. If the machine overheats, its thermal cutout will trip and cause the machine to stop. The machine will be able to be used again once it has cooled down sufficiently. Cooling takes up to 5 minutes. If you frequently experience this problem, it is recommended to increase the cutting height, push it at a slower speed and make sure the collection box is not full. If the grass is long and wet, the rear discharge hole can easily be blocked even if the collection box is not full. Therefore, check and clean often.
