MAINTENANCE
SHARPENING THE BLADE
For best mowing performance, the mower blade must be kept sharp. A dull blade does not cut
grass evenly and overloads the motor. Under normal circumstances, sharpening the blade twice
frequent sharpening may be required.
■ Following the instructions in the Replacing the Cutting Blade section, remove the mower blade.
DO NOT attempt to sharpen the blade while it is attached to the mower.
WARNING
When removing, inspect the blade carefully. If blade is bent or damaged, replace immediately with a
new blade. Failure to replace a bent or damaged blade could cause an accident resulting in possible
serious injury
