Taking off the mower deck and putting it back on with no tools in this video. Easy to do and cleans out well on the Ryobi RY48130 with a 30-inch mowing deck.

Two reasons why I chose electric over gas --
• battery operated: no gas, fumes, charge and go
• low to no maintenance: no belts, spark plugs or filters

Thank you so much for taking time and showing how to clean the mower deck!!! Really appreciate this.

[@rjazco51]

thanks---- videos are/or seem to be easier for me to follow. (Stop, Pause, Re-wind, Re-play) AND YOU DID A GREAT JOB EXPLAINING... WITH NO CRAPPY MUSIC.....

great video have a quick question has anyone experienced the mower not able to be moved when the battery's are dead? Hard to push the rear wheels wont move.

Electricity and water don't mix well. Only mow dry and blow the deck clean with a leaf blower after each use. Cool video. My mower has 4 pins and seems much more difficult. I don't use tools. I can't imagine how much they would help. Those connection cables can be difficult to line up too. You made it look easy. Thanks.

I'm 65 year old female and I have to change blades due to me running over too many roots from the tree I have in my yard. You made to look easy to change. Another video said you have to make sure you level it after you put it back on. I didn't see you do that so I'm not either. Thanks for your video, you helped me out.

[@ServantDad]

Thank you. I didn't fully change out the blades, just cleaned out the mower deck.

[@joanbarber5384]

Yes you took the deck off. The deck is what you level.

[@paxinmorte]

Do you have any issue with the deck being level after this? I saw the operation manual mentions leveling the deck after removing it and reattaching it.

Love my Ryobi electric riding mower. Ryobi makes great tools. But have to admit this is a pain the butt. Has to be done every time or else the grass hardens on the underside. Seriously thinking about putting together some sort of lift to access the underside rather than taking it off every time. Not sure compressed air would actually get the stuff off and no matter how dry it is outside grass always has moisture and sticks. It's great little machine though.

[@bellantij1980]

Great video. Did this improve the battery life?

[@sebdewhurst7276]

Really useful, thank you!

[@cullen88whettam]

Nice to know. I usually just tip the mower over on it's back, it's not very heavy.

[@ServantDad]

This is a good idea, I didn't even think about this since it's electric!

[@wb4514]

Tip: Remove all the pin retainer clips before you drop the deck.

[@jefffromtiktok]

Did you put the deck all the way down with the lever because for me it helps alot

[@suzanneshaughnessy7167]

If you are putting everything back exactly the way you found it, like you did, why would you need to level the deck? And thanks for making it look so easy!

[@ServantDad]

I dunno, that's a good point!

[@danyeo]

That looks a LOT easier than what I have to do to take my Craftsman deck off. It’s an older gas model from 2006.

[@ServantDad]

The process is very streamlined and the hardest part was putting the pins back in.

[@mct8888]

How do you get the spindle covers off the motors so you can clean under them?

[@litcostello1223]

Interesting stuff

[@JoeMama-vj8es]

Will it ride without the deck?

[@tn9022]

That was great.

[@ServantDad]

Thank you. Glad I could help

[@ralphrobbins8721]

Not sure why anyone would do this on gravel?

[@rbnjr]

If you wont thoroughly clean anything on the mower im wondering what else you dont thoroughly clean, dude do it right!

[@raulsuazo]

Cant reattach the deck. One bolt wont align
