DRIVE
WHEELS

rear drive wheels

TO SHARPEN
BLADE
NOTE:
We do not recommend
sharp-
ening the blade - but if you do, be sure the
blade is balanced.
An unbalanced
blade
will cause eventual
damage
to mower
or
engine.
• The blade can be sharpened
with a file
or on a grinding
wheel.
Do not attempt
to sharpen
while on the mower.
• To check blade balance,
drive a nail into
a beam or wall. Leave
about one inch of
the straight
nail exposed.
Place center
hole of blade over the head of the nail.
If blade is balanced,
it should
remain
in
a horizontal
position.
If either end of the
blade moves
downward,
sharpen
the
heavy end until the blade is balanced.
GRASS
CATCHER
• The grass catcher
may be hosed with
water,
but must be dry when used.
• Check your grass catcher
often for dam-
age or deterioration.
Through
normal
use it will wear.
If catcher
needs
replac-
ing, replace
only with approved
replace-
ment catcher
shown
in the Repair
Parts
section
of this manual.
Give the lawn
mower model
number
when ordering.
GEAR
CASE
• To keep your drive system
working
properly,
the gear case and area around
the drive should
be kept clean and free
of trash build-up.
Clean
under the drive
cover twice a season.
• The gear case is filled with lubricant
to the
proper level at the factory.
The only time
the lubricant
needs
attention
is if service
has been performed
on the gear case.
• If lubricant
is required,
use only Texaco
Starplex
