SERVICING THE MOWER BLADES
1. Remove mower from the rider. See Mower

2. Blades should be sharp and free of nicks and dents.
If not, sharpen blades as described in following steps.
3. To remove blade for sharpening, use a wood block to
hold blade while removing the blade mounting cap-
screw (Figure 25).

nicks and dents in blade edge. If blade is severely
damaged, it should be replaced.
