1. Cutting Edge
2. Curved Area
Checking for Bent Blades
Note: The machine must be on a level surface for the
following procedure.
1. Raise the mower deck to the highest height-of-cut
position; also considered the 'transport' position.
2. While wearing thickly padded gloves or other adequate
hand protection slowly rotate blade to be measured
into a position that allows effective measurement of
the distance between the cutting edge and the level
surface the machine is on.
