Stop the engine. Pull the wire off the spark plug.

Drain the gasoline from
the fuel tank; refer
to
Draining Gasoline in this section for your
particular engine.
3 .
Tip the mower on its side. Avoid rotating blade.
Starting problems may result.
4.
inspecting Blade Carefully examine the blade
for sharpness and wear, especially where flat and
curved parts meet. See Figure 19. Since sand
and abrasive material can wear away the metal
that connects the flat and curved parts
of the
blade, check the blade before using the mower.
If
a slot or wear is noticed (see B & C, Figure 1
9),
replace the blade
5.
Removing The Blade Grasp the end of the blade
using a rag or thickly padded glove. Remove the
fasteners and blade. See Figure 20.
NOTE: For optimum performance, install a new
blade before cutting season. During the year, file
down small nicks to maintain the cutting edge.
6.
Sharpening Blade Using a file, sharpen the top
side of the blade and maintain original cutting
angle as shown in Figure 2l. The blade will
remain balanced
if
the same amount of material
is removed from both cutting edges.
