DANGER
When blades are operated over sandy
soil, and if blades are allowed to wear, a
“slot” may be worn into the wing tip of
blade. Eventually a piece of the blade
may break off creating a serious potential
for injury or damage.
•
Check the blades for
straightness
by marking
blade tip position inside the deck housing and then
ro tating the opposite end of the blade to the same
po sition and comparing. If the difference in blade tip
track is
more than 1/8 in. (3 mm),
the blade is bent
and
should be replaced.
•
Inspect the blade surface, especially in formed
areas, for
cracks.
Replace the blade if any cracks
are found.
WARNING
DO NOT try to straighten a blade that is
bent. NEVER weld a broken or cracked
blade. ALWAYS replace with a new blade
to assure safety.
Reinstall the blades following procedure from

placed, always use

anteed, they
could be dangerous.
CAUTION
ALWAYS use genuine factory replace-
ment parts. Substitute parts CAN result
