How do you change lawn mower blade?

Changing a lawn mower blade is a relatively simple task that can be completed in a few minutes. Here are the steps involved:

Step 1:

Disconnect the spark plug

To prevent the lawn mower from accidentally starting while you are working on it, disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug.

*Step 2:* Tilt the lawn mower

Tilt the lawn mower on its side so that the blade is exposed.

*Step 3:* Remove the blade bolt

Use a wrench to loosen and remove the bolt that holds the blade in place.

*Step 4:*

Remove the blade

Once the bolt is removed, lift the blade off the spindle.

*Step 5:* Inspect the blade

Inspect the blade for any damage, such as cracks or chips. If the blade is damaged, it should be replaced.

*Step 6:* Install the new blade

If the blade is in good condition, you can skip this step. Place the new blade on the spindle, making sure that the star-shaped hole in the blade fits onto the spindle.

*Step 7:* Reinstall the blade bolt

Replace the bolt that holds the blade in place and tighten it securely.

*Step 8:* Reconnect the spark plug wire

Reconnect the spark plug wire to the spark plug.

*Step 9:* Lower the lawn mower

Lower the lawn mower back to its normal position.

Your lawn mower blade is now changed and you can resume mowing your lawn.
