CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Minimum care is required to ensure smooth operation of your mower.
• To avoid damage to mower or cutting blades, keep area to be mowed free from debris.
• For best results, regularly apply lubricant to mower’s cutting surfaces, cutting reel axle shaft
and wheels.
W A R N I N G
Clean any grinding compound or debris from the cutter bar blade, reel blade, pinions and pawls.
SHARPENING THE CUTTING BLADES:
• Spread a thin layer of lapping compound on the front edge of the reel blades.
• Adjust the cutter bar so that the blade has light but rm contact across the full width of the
cutter bar.
• Turn the reel blades until the front edge of the cutter bar blade is polished.
C A U T I O N
Do not overtighten the adjusting screws, as this could damage the cutter bar. Tighten both
screws during nal adjustment.
NOTE: Clean any grinding compound or debris from the cutter bar blade, reel blade, pinions, and pawls.
NOTE: Use industrial or valve lapping compound between 100 and 240 grit. Lubricate the axle and pinion
with a light lm of wheel bearing grease.
CLEANING AND STORAGE:
• Clean the exterior of the machine thoroughly using a soft brush and cloth before storing. Do
not use water, solvents or polishes.
