Mower Blade Maintenance

Blade Inspection

Check the mower blades daily, they are the key to power efficiency and well groomed turf. Keep them sharp, a dull blade will tear rather than cut the grass, leaving a brown ragged top on the grass within a few hours. A dull blade also requires more power from the engine.

Replace any blade which is bent, cracked or broken.

!WARNING

DO NOT try to straighten a blade that is bent. Never weld a broken or cracked blade. ALWAYS replace with a new Land Pride blade to assure safety.

!DANGER

Never work with blades while engine is running or blade is engaged. Always place blade engagement switch in the down (Off) position, place both control levers in neutral position, place park lever in (ON) position and turn engine off. Block up mower when you must work under it. Wear gloves when handling blades. Always check for blade damage if mower strikes rock, branch or other foreign object during mowing!
