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. Ifyou mow in sandy soil check the blades after each
two redwings. The sand wears the blade away rapidly.

blades.
1. Remove the hex head belt, Iockwasher and flat

When grinding, care should be taken to maintain
blade balance and the blade should be checked for
proper balance before reinstallation on mower. An
