BLADE SERVICING
Blades should always be inspected prior to work each time you use the Mower to ensure
they are in good working condition and correctly installed. Replace any Blade that is bent,
excessively nicked, worn or otherwise damaged. Small nicks can be ground out when
sharpening. If a Blade requires replacing, it is recommended that they be replaced in pairs
in order to maintain balance.
IMPORTANT: When sharpening blades, grind each blade by the same amount to maintain
balance. The difference in blade weights should not exceed 1 ounce
(28gms)
. Unbalanced
blades will cause excessive vibration, which can damage gearbox bearings. Vibration may
also cause structural cracks in the Mower housing.
Use only Original Equipment Blades on this Mower. They are made of
special-heat treated alloy steel. Substitute Blades may not meet the
specifications required for this Mower and may fail in a hazardous manner
that could cause injury.
BLADE SHARPENING
Always sharpen both blades at the same time to maintain balance. Follow the original
sharpening pattern
(see diagram below)
and always sharpen blades by grinding. DO NOT
heat and pound out edge or sharpen the blade to a razor edge but leave a 1/16”
(1.6mm)
blunt edge. Do not sharpen the back side of the blade.
Avoid personal injury. Always block the Mower up to prevent it from falling
when servicing the blades and/or carrier.
