Adjusting the Blade Arms
Adjust the blade arms if the machine still shakes
excessively after the blades have been adjusted.
1.
Place the machine on a flat surface.
2.
Disconnect the spark plug.
3.
Turn the tilt adjustment knob counter clockwise
until all of the tension is off of the tilt adjustment
cable and the blades are flat against the floor.
Blade arms should be unbent and flat to the
floor. If a blade is bent, continue this procedure
to adjust the blade arm. If blades are unbent
and flat to the floor, examine the machine for
other worn parts.
Note:
Do not screw the knob completely out
of the handle.
4.

the blade arm.
If the machine continues shaking excessively after
the blade arms have been adjusted, examine the
remainder of the machine for any other worn parts.
