SERVICING THE  MOWER  BLADES

1. Blades should be sharp and free of nicks and dents.

If not, sharpen blades as described in following
steps.

2. To remove blade for sharpening, use a 1” wrench on

the flats of the spindle shaft while removing the blade
mounting bolt with a 15/16” wrench (Figure 16).

3. Use a file to sharpen blade to fine edge. Remove all

nicks and dents in blade edge. If blade is severely
damaged, it should be replaced.

4. Balance the blade as shown in Figure 17. Center the

blade’s hole on a nail lubricated with a drop of oil. A
balanced blade will remain level.

5. Reinstall each blade with the tabs pointing up toward

deck as shown in Figure 18. Secure with a bolt and
flat washer and torque bolts to 70-90 ft.lbs. (94-120
N.m.).

WARNING

For your personal safety, blade mounting bolts
must each be installed with a flat washer then
securely tightened. Torque blade mounting bolts
to 70-90 ft.lbs. (94-120 N.m.)
