BLADE (17) 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 sufficient 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. J)
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. K)
Check balance of blade by placing center

If either end of the blade rotates downward,
file that end. Blade is properly balanced when
neither end drops.
