TO SHARPEN BLADE (See Fig. 9)

WARNING

When it is necessary to raise the mower for any repair or service, use jackstands to provide adequate sup- port. DO NOT rely on hydraulic or me- chanical jacks

Care should be taken to keep the blade bal- anced. An unbalanced blade will cause exces- sive vibration and eventual damage to mower and engine.

The blade can be sharpened with a file or on a grinding wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen while on the mower.

To check blade balance, you will need a 5/8" diameter steel bolt, pin, or a cone balancer. (When using a cone balancer, follow the instructions supplied with balancer.)

NOTE: Do not use a nail for balancing the blade. The lobes of the center hole may appear to be centered, but are not.

Slide blade on to an un-threaded portion of the steel bolt or pin and hold the bolt or pin parallel with the ground. If the blade is balanced, it should remain in a horizontal position. If either end of the blade moves downward, sharpen the heavy end until the blade is balanced.
