General care

Minimum care is required to assure smooth operation of your mower.

oTo avoid damage to the mower or cutting blades, keep the area to be mowed free from any debris.

applied to all cutting surfaces, the cutting reel axle shaft and wheels.

cies de corte, al eje del cilindro de corte y de las ruedas.

Entretien commun

Un entretien mini me est necessaire pour

assurer une operation continuelle de votre ton- deuse.

oUne application d'huileou lubrifiant (WD-40 par exemple) est recommandee sur les

lames coupantes, Ie moyeu de la barre des lames et les roues.

When the mower is properly lubricated and adjusted, sharpening should not be necessary for several years. However, the following steps will allow you to do the procedure yourself at relatively little expense.

oRemove the "E" rings, wheels and pinion from both sides of the mower (refer to figure 6).

Remove both pawls from the rectangular slots in reel shaft and reverse their positions (refer to figure 7).

oReverse the placement of the pinion gears.

oPlace the left pinion on the reel shaft. Replace the wheels and "E" rings,

Spread a thin layer of lapping compound on the front edge of the reel blades.

oAdjust the cutter bar blade has light but firm contact with the reel blades across the full

width of the cutter bar (refer to figure 8), CAUTION: Do not overtighten the adjusting screws, as this could damage the cutter bar. Both screws must be tight on the final adjustment.

oPush the mower in backward on a smooth

surface (such as a sidewalk or paved drive- way), Continue to do this until the reel blades rotate relatively free and front edge of the cutter bar blades polished.

Remove wheels; reverse pinions and pawl is on the right. CAUTION: Clean any grinding compound or debris from the cutter bar blades, reel blades, pinion and pawl. Lubricate axle and pinion with a light film of wheel bearing grease and replace wheels

and T'rings.

NOTE: It is recommended to use an industrial or valve lapping compound between 100-240 grit. This is usually available at an industrial or automobile supply store. If professional sharp- ening is required, consult your local yellow pages for lawn mower repair services.
