FIGURE 8
TO SHARPEN BLADE (See Fig. 9)
Care should be taken to keep the blade
balanced. An unbalanced blade will cause
excessive vibration and eventual damage to
mower and 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, you will need a
5/8" diameter steel bolt, pin, or a cone
balancer. (When using a cone balancer,
follow the instructions supplied with
balancer.)
NOTE: Do not use a nail for balancing the blade.
The lobes of the center hole may appear to be
centered, but are not.
• Slide blade on to an un-threaded portion
of the steel bolt or pin and hold the bolt or
pin parallel with the ground. If the blade
is balanced, it should remain in a hori-
zontal position. If either end of the blade
moves downward, sharpen the heavy
end until the blade is balanced.

free battery and does not need servicing.
However, periodic charging of the battery with an
automotive type battery charger will extend its
life.
• Keep battery and terminals clean.
• Keep battery bolts tight.
• Recharge at 6-10 amperes for 1 hour.
