SECTION 9:
MOWER BLADE MAINTENANCE
(REMEMBER: NEVER CHECK BLADES WHILE ENGINE IS ON!
NEVER CHECK BLADES WHILE BLADES ARE ENGAGED!)
9.1
Check mower blades after each use. This is essential for maintaining well-groomed turf. Keep the
blades sharp. If a dull blade is used for cutting, the grass will tear rather than cut. This could damage
the grass leaving a brown frayed top on the grass within a few hours. A dull blade will also require more
power from the engine.
9.2
NEVER attempt to straighten a bent blade by heating. NEVER attempt to weld a cracked
blade. The blades can break and cause serious injury or death.
9.3
NEVER work with blades while engine is running or PTO clutch is engaged.
9.4
ALWAYS place PTO clutch in DISENGAGE position while performing maintenance.
9.5
Use approved lifting equipment when working underneath your mower.
9.6
ALWAYS wear thick gloves when handling blades.
9.7
ALWAYS check for blade damage if mower strikes rock, branch, or other objects that could potentially
damage the blade.
SECTION 10:
EQUIPMENT LUBRICATION
10.1 Park the mower on a level surface and disengage the blade control switch.
10.2 Move the motion control levers outward to the neutral position, engage parking brake, stop the engine,
remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
10.3 Grease Type: NGLI grade #2 multi-purpose gun grease.
10.4 Clean the grease fittings with a cloth. Scrape any paint off the front face of the fitting(s).
10.5 Connect a grease gun to each fitting. Pump grease into the fitting until grease seepage is observed. Be
mindful of over-pressurization. Do not force the grease into the component if excessive back pressure
is felt as this can lead to reduced life of the component(s). Wipe up excess grease.
10.6 Refer to service manual section for grease fitting locations.
