11. Blade condition
Before each use, check the general condition of each cutter blade, for
damage or abnormal wear.
m To avoid severe personal injury, remove the ignition key and
disconnect the spark plug caps to prevent accidental starting; wear heavy
gloves to protect your hands from the cutter blades.
1. Shift the P.T.O. clutch lever to the OFF position and adjust the cutter
deck height lever to the top (highest) position.
2. Inspect each of the blades for cracks, bending or signs of wear. The
right and center blades can be seen through the discharge opening on
the right side of the cutter deck. The left blade can be seen from under
the left front edge of the cutter deck.
Turn the blades 1 80°, and inspect the opposite side.
