7.2 BLADE SHARPENING______________________________________________________
When it becomes necessary to sharpen either the reel or
bedknife by the grinding process, we recommend that the
work be performed by an experienced person using the
proper grinding equipment.
The reel and bedknife should be checked to determine if
backlapping or grinding will restore the proper cutting
edge. Refer to the Grinding Instructions Manual available
through your Textron Turf Care And Specialty Products
Dealer.
IMPORTANT:
When lapping the reel, always attach
lapping machine to left side reel nut. Do not lap reel from
right side of mower.
1. If wear or damage is beyond the point where the reel
or bedknife can be corrected by the lapping process,
they must be reground.
We recommend that this work be contracted through
an authorized Textron Turf Care And Specialty
Products Dealer who has trained personnel and the
proper equipment to perform this type of work.
2. The right hand end of the bedknife should have a
small bevel (Dub) at all times.

7.3 TIRES ___________________________________________________________________
Semi-pneumatic wheels (Product No. 70086 and 70088)
must be mounted on the mower so the “V” tread, points
to the rear of the mower when viewed from the top of the
mower.
The “Direction Arrows” on the side of the tires should be
disregarded.
WARNING

disengage all drives, engage parking brake, stop engine
