MAINTENANCE
Inspect Blades daily for abnormal wear. If Blades have a notch worn into the leading edge at the lower bend more than a 1/2” DEEP (due to running in gravel and/or the ground), REPLACE BOTH BLADES ON THAT CARRIER IMMEDIATELY. Failure to replace such abnormally worn blades may lead to catastrophic failure of the blade and ejection of the broken part with tremendous force which may cause bodily injury or death.
NOTE: Replace Blades in pairs after no more than 1/2” notch wear!
MAINTENANCE
BLADE SHARPENING
Always sharpen both blades at same time to maintain balance. Follow original sharpening pattern as shown in Figure
Avoid personal injury. Always block the cutter up to prevent if from falling when the blades and/or carrier are being serviced.
Do not heat or weld on hard surface blades as this can alter material strength causing blades to fail in a hazardous manner that could cause injury.
