TO SHARPEN
BLADE
NOTE:
We do not recommend
sharpening
the blade
- but if you do, be sure the blade
is balanced.
Care should
be taken
to keep
the blade 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.

catcher
may be hosed

ing, replace
