7.9 CUTTER BLADES

A. Blade Inspection

1. Remove the ignition key before servicing the blades.

2. Tilt the mower deck and secure in place with the two

prop rods.

3. Check the blades for straightness by marking the tip

position of the blade on the inside of the deck. Then

rotate the opposite tip of the blade to the same

position. Compare the difference in the blade tip

track. If the track is more than 1/8 inch, the blade is

bent and should be replaced.

WARNING:

4. If a blade cutting edge is dull or nicked, it should be

sharpened. Remove the blades for sharpening. See

"Blade Replacement."

Do not attempt to straighten a bent blade, and

never weld a broken or cracked blade. Always

replace it with a new blade to assure safety.

Figure 7-8 Belt Tensioning

Never operate the cutter blades with the deck

in the raised position because it is hazardous.
