BLADE CARE
For best results mower blades must be
sharp. Replace worn, bent or damaged
blades.
CAUTION: Use only a replacement
blade approved by the manufacturer of
your riding mower. Using a blade not ap-
proved by the manufacturer of your riding
mower is hazardous, could damage your
riding mower and void your warranty.
