2. Tire Care
Maintain tire pressure in front at 14 PSI and rear tires
at 10 PSI.
3, Blade Care
For best results mower blades must be kept sharp_ The
blades can be sharpened with a few strokes of a file or
on a grinding wheel, We suggest they be sharpened after
every 25 hours of mowing° Do not attempt to sharpen
while on mower,
a. When grinding, care should be taken to main-
tain blade balance and the blade should be
checked for proper balance before reinstallation
on mower
b_ Unbalanced or bent blade will cause excessive
vibration when running and eventual damage to
mower or engine, Replace bent or damaged
blades.
To check blade balance, drive a nail into a beam or wall.
Leave about one inch of the straight nail exposed.. Place
center hole of clean blade over the head of the nail (Fig.
23). NOTE: CENTER HOLE OF BLADE ON NAIL IF
BLADE IS PROPERLY BALANCED, BLADE SHOULD RE-
MAIN IN POSITION SHOWN IN FIG. 23. IF EITHER END
OF THE BLADE MOVES DOWNWARD, BLADE IS NOT
BALANCED, SHARPEN THE HEAVY END UNTIL THE
BLADE IS BALANCED°
