MAINTENANCE
Servicing the Cutting Blades (Cont.)
Checking for Bent Blades
1. Park the machine on a level surface and disengage the PTO. Stop the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop,
and remove key. Engage the parking brake.
2. Disconnect the spark plug wires from the spark plugs.
3. Rotate the blades so they are perpendicular to the rear of the deck (Figure 13)
4. Measure from a level surface to the cutting edge, position A (Figure 13).
5. Rotate the blades 180 degrees, so the opposite end of the blade is forward.
6. Measure from a level surface to the cutting edge of the blades at the same position as step 4.
NOTE: The difference between the dimensions obtained in steps 4 and 6 must not exceed 1/8 in. (3 mm). If
this dimension is exceeded the blade is bent and must be replaced.
