MAINTENANCE

Cutting Blades

To attain the best mowing effect, it is important that blades are well sharpened and not damaged.

Replace blades that have been bent or cracked when hitting obstacles.

Let the service workshop decide whether a blade with large nicks can be repaired/ground or must be replaced. Balance the blades after sharpening.

Check the blade mounts.
