MOWER MAINTENANCE
Cutterblade Removal
cont
Replace the cutterblade every 2 years or sooner or
excessively worn or damaged.
To prevent injury it is wise to seek assistance when
turning the mower on its side.
Cutterblade Sharpening
A slightly worn cutterblade may be re-sharpened. Both
blade edges must be sharpened equally to ensure balance.
Sharpen the cutterblade every 25 mowing hours or more
frequently if conditions require. Remove the cutterblade
from the mower and clean using a brush and water.
Inspect the cutterblade for signs of damage.
Sharpen both cutting edges with a flat file to restore
performance. (Refer fig.16)
Ensure that the cutterblade is balanced. Use a screw
driver with a round shaft to support the cutterblade
through its centre hole. Hold the cutterblade horizontal
and then release. A balanced cutterblade will remain
horizontal. (Refer fig.17)
If the cutterblade is not balanced the heavy end will
rotate downwards. Sharpen the heavy end until the
cutterblade is correctly balanced. (Refer fig.18)

bottom two securing knobs sufficiently to allow both top
and middle sections to be folded forwards.
To ensure that your mower is maintained in good work-
ing order, it is important that the following procedure is
adopted when the mower is stored for periods in excess of
one month. Refer to the 'Maintenance' section as neces-
sary.
Clean all areas of the mower and ensure that the grassbag
is clean.
Lubricate the mower.
Treat metal parts with a water repellant anti-corrosion
product.
Lower the handlebar if desired.
Cover the mower with a protective sheet and store in a
dry area.
