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.

TO SHARPEN BLADE (See Fig. 8)

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.
