WARNING

A worn or damaged blade can break, and a piece of the blade could be thrown into the operator's or bystander's area, resulting in serious personal injury or death.

•Inspect the blade periodically for wear or damage.

•Replace a worn or damaged blade.

A.If the difference between A and B is greater than 1/8 inch (3mm) replace the blade with a new blade. Refer to Removing the Blades and Installing the Blades.

Note: If a bent blade is replaced with a new one and the dimension obtained continues to exceed 1/8 inch (3mm), the blade spindle could be bent. Contact an Authorized Exmark Dealer for service.

B.If the variance is within constraints, move to the next blade.

Repeat this procedure on each blade.

Checking for Loose Blades or Damaged Spring Disc Washers

1.Place a wrench on the blade bolt and torque to 35-65 ft-lb (47-88 N-m).

2.With the wrench still on the blade bolt, hold the blade spindle stationary and using a rag or

thickly padded glove, try to rotate the blade. If the blade rotates relative to the spindle guard without further tightening the blade bolt, the spring disc washer has been flattened or damaged and the bolt and washer assembly must be replaced (Figure 44). Refer to Removing the Blades and Installing the Blades.

3.Once the blade has been removed, inspect the spring disc washer. If the washer appears to be damaged (the washer surface has been marred) or flattened, the bolt and washer assembly must be replaced.

Removing the Blades

The blades must be replaced if a solid object is hit, if the blade is out of balance, or the blade is bent. To ensure optimum performance and continued safety conformance of the machine, use genuine Exmark replacement blades. Replacement blades made by other manufacturers may result in an unsafe machine.

Hold the blade end using a rag or thickly-padded glove. Remove the blade bolt, curved washer, and blade from the spindle shaft (Figure 44).

Sharpening the Blades

1.Use a file to sharpen the cutting edge at both ends of the blade (Figure 45). Maintain the original angle. The blade retains its balance if the same amount of material is removed from both cutting edges.
