BLADE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Adjusting the blade height can be done by moving any
number of the five smaller 1/4" spacers on the blade
mounting bolts to the top of the spindle shaft or below the
spindle shaft.
-NOTE-
All blades should be positioned equally.
For best cut and discharge, a minimum of three spacers
should be installed between the blade and the spindle
(See Figure 6)
Figure 6. Blade Spacers
CUTTER BLADES
Do not sharpen beyond 1/3 of the width of the blade.
(See Figure 7, Page 11)
-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, vibra-
tion and premature wear of spindle assembly can
occur. See your authorized Scag dealer for
blade balancing or special tools, if you choose to
balance your own blades.
