BLADE SHARPENING
Keep blade sharp for best mower
performance. A dull blade does not cut grass
cleanly or mulch properly.
Wear proper eye protection while removing,
sharpening, and installing blade.
Sharpening the blade twice during a mowing
season is usually sufcient under normal
circumstances. Sand causes the blade to
dull quickly. If your lawn has sandy soil,
more frequent sharpening may be required.
Replace bent or damaged blade
immediately.
WHEN SHARPENING THE BLADE: (See
Fig I, page 18)
1. Make sure blade remains balanced.
2. Sharpen blade at the original cutting
angle.
3. Sharpen cutting edges on both ends
of blade to keep it balanced, removing
equal amounts of material from both
ends.
NOTE: 1. Be sure the mower is turned off
and unplugged.
2. Place the mower in stand up
storage mode.
BLADE BALANCING (See Fig J, page 18)
Check balance of blade by placing center
hole in blade J-1 over a nail or screwdriver
shank J-2, clamped horizontally in a vice J-3.
If either end of the blade rotates downward,
le that end. Blade is properly balanced
when neither end drops.
BLADE MAINTENANCE (See Fig. K1, K2)
Replace your metal Blade after 50 hours
mowing or 2 years, which ever is sooner-
regardless of condition.
Follow these procedures to remove and
replace the Blade. You will need garden
gloves (not provided) and a spanner wrench
(provided) to remove the Blade. Hold the
Blade and unscrew the Blade Bolt counter-
clockwise using a spanner wrench, and then
remove the Blade.
To re-assemble, position the Blade with the
cutting edges towards the ground. Then
securely tighten the Blade Bolt.
STORAGE (See Fig. H1, H2)
Stop the mower and unplug.
Clean the exterior of the mower thoroughly
using a soft brush and cloth. Do not use
water, solvents or polishes. Remove all
grass and debris, especially from the
ventilation slots.
Turn the mower on its side and clean the
blade area. If grass cuttings are compacted
in the blade area, remove with a wooden or
plastic implement.
Store the mower in a dry place. Do not place
other objects on top of the mower.
To aid storage, release the handle knob and
rotate or fold the upper handle.
Ensure cables are not stuck or entangled
when folding or unfolding upper handles. do
not drop the handles.
