MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them. Any
wheel rotation can cause the blade reel to rotate.
MOWER BLADE ADJUSTMENTS (See Fig. 7)
The blade reel is adjusted for proper clearance from the cutting bar at the factory. However, after
extended periods of mowing or as part of annual maintenance, it is recommended that the blade
clearance be readjusted. Use 6mm hex key for adjusting (not included)
■ If blade clearance is too wide, the cutting pattern will be rough and uneven.
■ If blade clearance is too narrow, the machine will be noisy and difficult to push while operating.
To adjust blade clearance, proceed as follows:
■ Locate the adjustment bolts found on the underside of the cutting bar on the rear of the mower.
■ Using a hex key, tighten the adjustment bolts (one on each end) 1/4 -turn.
WARNING
Do not overtighten the adjusting screws, as this could damage the cutter bar. Tighten both screws
during final adjustment.
