CUTTERBAR Continued.

How to sharpen and balance the cutterbar: A slightly worn cutterbar may be re-sharpened. All cutting edges must be sharpened equally to ensure balance. Sharpen the cutter- bar every 25 mowing hours or more frequently if conditions require.

Remove the cutterbar from the mower and clean using a brush and water. Inspect the cutterbar for signs of damage.

DO NOT use a damaged or excessively worn cutterbar.

Sharpen all the cutting edges with a flat file to restore the original cutting edge.

Ensure that the cutterbar is balanced. Use a screw driver with a round shaft to support the cutterbar through its centre hole. Hold the cutterbar horizontal and then release. A balanced cutterbar will remain horizontal. If the cutterbar is not balanced the heavy end will rotate downwards. Sharpen the heavy end until the cutterbar is correctly balanced.
