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

may be hosed
with
water,
but must be dry when

your grass
catcher

age or deterioration.

use
it will wear.
