Inspecting the Blades
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
1. Inspect the cutting edges (Figure 53). If the edges
are not sharp or have nicks, remove and sharpen the
blades. Refer to Sharpening the Blades.
2. Inspect the blades, especially the curved area
(Figure 53). If you notice any damage, wear, or a slot
forming in this area (Figure 53), immediately install a
new blade.

Checking for Bent Blades
1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control levers
to the neutral locked position and set the parking
brake.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
3. Rotate the blades until the ends face forward and
backward (Figure 54 or Figure 55). Measure from a
level surface to the cutting edge at position
A , of the
blades (Figure 54 or Figure 55). Note this dimension.

4. Rotate the opposite ends of the blades forward.
5. Measure from a level surface to the cutting edge of
the blades at the same position as in step 3 above.
The difference between the dimensions obtained in
steps 3 and 4 must not exceed 1/16 inch (1.5 mm).
If this dimension exceeds 1/16 inch (1.5 mm),
the blade is bent and must be replaced; refer to
Removing the Blades and Installing the Blades.
