As Required Maintenance
Sharpening / Balancing Blades
Use gloves when handling mower blades. Blades can be very
sharp.
IMPORTANT! When sharpening blades, be sure material
removed is equal on both sides of the blade. Unbalanced blades
will cause excessive vibration leading to cracks in machine
components.
▪
Clean all material from the blade prior to sharpening and balancing.
▪
Grind or file blades following original pattern as shown.
▪
Sharpen to a razor edge. Do not sharpen backside of blade.
▪
Use the supplied cone balancer to verify blade balance. When
the blade is correctly balanced, the blade will remain horizontal.
Changing Mower Blades
IMPORTANT! Only original equipment blades should be used
when replacing worn out or damaged mower blades. They are
made of special steel alloys and subjected to rigid heat-treat and
inspection requirements.
Substitute blades may not meet these rigid specifications and
MAY BE DANGEROUS.
Maintenance should always be performed by a qualified service technician
familiar with servicing similar equipment, using good safety and
workmanship practices.
Always observe proper lock-out procedures when performing any
maintenance work including changing or servicing the blades.
Always
remove and retain the ignition switch key, block and or support machine
using equipment designed for the task.
Replace any blade that is bent, excessively nicked, worn or has any other
damage. Small nicks can be ground out when sharpening.
▪
When replacing mower blades, be aware of blade rotation as blades
rotate in opposite directions. Ensure the cutting edge is facing in the
correct direction
▪
The left hand blade is painted RED

The right hand blade is painted BLACK
