Maintenance - Talon AM3060 Owner's Manual

Check the blade mounting bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness.
Check the blade condition frequently, particularly if the mower has hit a foreign object or is
vibrating. Sub-standard cutting and catching will result from a neglected blade. Your
Authorised Dealer can replace blades as necessary, or if you prefer, supply the parts for you
to do yourself.
Always use genuine original equipment parts to ensure safety and proper
performance. Substitute parts can be disappointing and dangerous.

2. Adjust the mower to the high cut position.
3. Lift the rear flap and prop open to give full access to the blades, use only Talon blade kit

in set sequence, refer drawing below (to loosen
