CUTTER BLADES
Do not
sharpen beyond 1/3 of the width of the blade. (See
Figure 13).
-NOTE-
Dress the blade with a file. Using a wheel grinder may
burn the blade. Check the balance of the blade. If
blades are out of balance, vibration and premature
wear can occur. See your authorized Scag Dealer for
blade balance tools.
Blades have a sharp cutting edge. Wear protective
gloves or wrap blades with protective material when
removing, sharpening and installing blades.
CAUTION:

STEERING CABLE ROUTING
When the steering cable is routed between the
front pulley and the rear steering collar, it is very
important that the cable does not rub where it
crosses. The top of the cable end from the front
pulley must go over the top of the lower cable
end (See Figure 14). The cable should be tight-
ened until the slack has been removed. The cable
should not be under tension. Do not overtighten
the adjusting nuts on the rear steering collar
pulley.
