Balancing the Blade

1.Check the balance of the blade by placing the center hole of the blade over a nail or screwdriver shank clamped horizontally in a vise (Figure 38).

Figure 38

Note: You can also check the balance using a commercially manufactured blade balancer.

2.If either end of the blade rotates downward, file that end (not the cutting edge or the end near the cutting edge). The blade is properly balanced when neither end drops.

Cleaning

Cleaning under the Mower Housing

To ensure the best performance, keep the underside of the mower housing clean.

Washing Method

Service Interval: Before each use or daily

1.Position the mower on a flat concrete or asphalt surface near a garden hose.

2.Start the engine.

3.Hold the running garden hose at handle level and direct the water to flow on the ground just in front of the right rear tyre (Figure 39).

Installing the Blade

1.Install a sharp, balanced Hayter blade, the anti-scalp cup, and the blade nuts. The sail of the blade must point toward the top of the mower housing for proper installation. Torque the blade nuts to 23 to 27 ft-lb (32 to 37 N-m).

2.Return the mower to its operating position.

3.Connect the wire to the spark plug.

1. Right rear wheel

Note: The blade will draw in water and wash out clippings. Let the water run until you no longer see clippings being washed out from under the housing.

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

5.Turn off the garden hose.

6.Start the mower and let it run for a few minutes to dry out the moisture on the mower and its components.

Scraping Method

If washing does not remove all debris from under the mower, scrape it clean.

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

2.Drain the fuel from the fuel tank. Refer to Emptying the Fuel Tank and Cleaning the Fuel Filter.
