Blade Maintenance

Maintaining the Cutting Blade

Always mow with a sharp blade. A sharp blade cuts cleanly and without tearing or shredding the grass blades.

Complete the following procedure before inspecting, removing, or installing the blade:

1.Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.

2.Disconnect the wire from the spark plug (Figure 12).

3.Drain the petrol from the fuel tank; refer to Emptying the Fuel Tank and Cleaning the Fuel Filter.

4.Tip the mower onto its right side (Figure 35).

Note: For the best performance, install a new blade before the cutting season begins. During the year, file down any small nicks to maintain the cutting edge.

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.

Removing the Blade

Grasp the end of the blade using a rag or a thickly padded glove. Remove the blade nuts, the anti-scalp cup, and the blade (Figure 35).

Inspecting the Blade

Service Interval: Before each use or daily

Carefully examine the blade for sharpness and wear, especially where the flat and the curved parts meet (Figure 36A). Because sand and abrasive material can wear away the metal that connects the flat and curved parts of the blade, check the blade before using the mower. If you notice a slot or wear (Figure 36B and Figure 36C), replace the blade; refer to Removing the Blade.

Sharpening the Blade

File the top side of the blade to maintain its original cutting angle (Figure 37A) and inner cutting edge radius (Figure 37B). The blade will remain balanced if you remove the same amount of material from both cutting edges.
