MOWER MAINTENANCE
Cutterblade Sharpening
A slightly worn cutterblade may be |
| |
must be sharpened equally to ensure balance. Sharpen the cutterblade | ||
every 25 mowing hours or more frequently if conditions require. | ||
| ||
Remove the cutterblade from the mower and clean using a brush and |
| |
water. Inspect the cutterblade for signs of damage. |
| |
Sharpen both cutting edges with a flat file to restore performance. |
|
Ensure that the cutterblade is balanced. Use a screw driver with a round shaft to support the cutterblade through its centre hole. Hold the cutterblade horizontal and then release. A balanced cutterblade will remain horizontal.
If the cutterblade is not balanced the heavy end will rotate downwards.
Sharpen the heavy end until the cutterblade is correctly balanced.
