Note: Tire air pressure is critical in these pro-
cedures.

moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position. Disconnect the spark plug wire(s) from the

bent. Refer to Checking for Bent Blades.

order.
1. Adjust the rear tire pressure to 12-14 psi (83-97kPa).
2. Ensure the blades are not bent. Refer to Checking
