Checking the blades

To achieve the best mowing results it is important that the
blades are undamaged and well-sharpened.
Check that the blades' attachment screws are tight.
• Remove the cutting deck. See the "Removing the Cutting
Deck" section.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Replacement or sharpening of the blades must be carried
out by an authorised service workshop. The blades must be
balanced after sharpening.
Damaged blades should be replaced when hitting obstacles
that result in a breakdown. Let the service centre assess
whether the blade can be sharpened or must be replaced.
!
WARNING! If the blades are cracked,
whether caused by poor repair or other
damage, they could break while being used.
The risk increases if the blades are poorly
balanced.
