Section 7

Charging rates between 3 and 50 amperes are satisfactory if excessive gassing or spewing of electrolyte does not occur or the battery does not feel excessively hot (over 125°F). If spewing or gassing occurs or the temperature exceeds 125°F, the charging rate must be reduced or temporarily stopped to permit cooling.

- NOTE -

Keep the blades sharp. Cutting with dull blades not only yields a poor mowing job, but slows the cutting speed of the mower and causes extra wear on the engine and the blade drive by pulling hard.

B. Jump Starting

1.The booster battery must be a 12 volt type. If a vehicle is used for jump starting, it must have a negative ground system.

2.When connecting the jumper cables, connect the positive cable to the positive battery post, then connect the negative cable to the negative battery post.

7.8 CUTTER BLADES

A. Blade Inspection

1.Remove the ignition key before servicing the blades.

2.Raise the mower deck to the highest position. Place the lanyard pin in the highest cutting height position to prevent the cutter deck from falling.

WARNING

Always wear proper hand and eye protection when working with cutter blades.

3.Check the cutter blades for straightness. If the cutter blades appear bent, they will need to be replaced.

WARNING

Do not attempt to straighten a bent blade, and never weld a broken or cracked blade. Always replace it with a new blade to assure safety.

4.If a blade cutting edge is dull or nicked, it should be sharpened. Remove the blades for sharpening. See "Blade Replacement."

B. Blade Sharpening

- NOTE -

If possible, use a file to sharpen the blade. Using a wheel grinder may burn the blade.

- NOTE -

DO NOT sharpen the blades beyond 1/3 of the width of the blade. See Figure 7-6.

1.Sharpen the cutting edge at the same bevel as the original. See Figure 7-6. Sharpen only the top of the cutting edge to maintain sharpness.

2.Check the balance of the blade. If the blades are out of balance, vibration and premature wear can occur. See your authorized Scag dealer for blade balancing or special tools, if you choose to balance your own blades.

C. Blade Replacement

WARNING

Always wear proper hand and eye protection when working with cutter blades.

1. Remove the ignition key before replacing the blades.
