Blade
Sharpening
For best results mower blades must be kepl sharp. The
blades can be sharpened with a few strokes of a tile or
on a grinding wheel
We suggest they be sharpened
after every 25 hours oi mowing
Do not attempt to
sharpen while on mower
fl you mow in sandy soil
check the bfades after each two mowings
The sand
wears lhe blades away rapidly,
