Blade Sharpening

1.Disconnect the spark plug wire and secure the end away from the plug.

2.Tilt the mower up on its rear wheels. Do not tilt the mower with the spark plug or carburetor down.

Important: Drain the fuel tank before tipping the mower. DO NOT tip the machine with the carburetor or spark plug down. Oil from the crankcase will saturate the air filter and cause the engine to be hard to start or not start at all. If contamination does occur, the air filter will have to be replaced.

3. Remove the blade (B, Figure 22).

Make sure that blade hub is seated between flanges
