6. Ensure that the cable is located in the top slot
of the cable bracket.
7. Torque the cable clamp screw to 100–120 in-lb
(11 to 14 N
•
M) to lock the adjustment in
place.
Do not overtighten the blade brake cable.
Overtightening the blade brake cable could
cause the blade brake to come off of the
brake drum. If the brake does not contact
the drum, the blade will not stop rotating
when you release the control bar. A rotating
blade could cause serious personal injury.
• Each time you adjust the brake cable,
ensure that the brake stops the blade in 3
seconds or less.
• If the blade does not stop rotating in 3
seconds or less, bring the mower to an
Authorized Service Dealer for inspection
and repair.
Blade Maintenance
Maintaining the Cutting
Blade
Always mow with a sharp blade. A sharp blade
cuts cleanly and without tearing or shredding the
grass blades.
1. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts
to stop.
2. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug
(Figure 11).
3. Drain the gasoline from the fuel tank; refer
to Emptying the Fuel Tank and Cleaning the
Fuel Filter.
4. Tip the mower onto its right side (Figure 28).

Inspecting the Blade
Carefully examine the blade for sharpness and
wear, especially where the flat and the curved parts
meet (Figure 29A). Because sand and abrasive
material can wear away the metal that connects
the flat and curved parts of the blade, check the
blade before using the mower. If you notice a slot
or wear (Figure 29B and Figure 29C), replace the
blade; refer to Removing the Blade.

Note:
For the best performance, install a new
blade before the cutting season begins. During
the year, file down any small nicks to maintain the
cutting edge.
