2. Tim Cars
a. Maintain tire pressure in front at 14 PSi
(1 Kg/crrF) and rear tires at 10 PSi (0.7 Kg/cn_).
b. Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect control
chemicals which can harm rubber.
c. Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts and other hazards
that may cause tire damage.
3. Blade Sharpening
For best results mower blades must be kept sharp. The
btades can be sharpened with a few strokes of a file or
on a grinding wheel. We suggest they be sharpened
after every 25 hours o! mowing. Do not attempt to
sharpen while on mower, tf you mow in sandy soil
check the blades after each two redwings. The sand
wears the blades away rapidly,

b,
When grinding, care should be taken to maintain
blade balance and the blade should be checked
for proper balance before reinstailation on mower.
Unbalanced or bent blade will cause excessive
vibration when running, and eventual damage to
mower or engine, Replace ben_ 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. 2f), NOTE: CENTER HOLE
OF BLADE ON NAIL. IF BLADE tS PROPERLY
BALANCED, BLADE SHOULD REMAIN IN POSI-
TION SHOWN IN FIG. 2t, IF EITHER END OF THE
BLADE MOVES DOWNWARD, BLADE IS NOT
BALANCED. SHARPEN THE HEAVY END UNTIL
BLADE _S BALANCED.
