4.03 - Blade Maintenance
WARNING: To avoid possible injury always wear proper eye and hand protection
when servicing mower blade.
In order for the mower to work properly, and to always obtain a precision cut with lower
HP requirements thus keeping cost down, proper blade maintenance is important.
Blades must be kept sharp, at their original length and corners maintained. A blade
must be replaced if, due to wear or damage, its original shape has been distorted.
Installing or removing blades
If the mower blades need to be installed, do the following:
1. The blade turns in a counter clockwise direction when viewed from the bottom of
the deck. The cutting edge must be towards the direction of rotation. The lift wing of
the blades is closest to the deck and the cutting edge away from it (see fig. 18).
