CHECKING BLADES ALIGNMENT

Remove the cutting deck.
WARNING! Always wear strong gloves
when handling the bla des.
WARNING! The blades are connected to
each other, the rotation of each blade engages
the rotation of the other.
Grasp two blades firmly together and rotate them so
as to bring the cutting edges closer, then check that
the gap between the ends does not exceed 2 mm.
Repeat the operation rotating the blades in the vari-
ous different combinations.
If higher amounts are found, check that the blades are
not distorted. If this is not the case, check the sup-
ports or the shafts for the blades, re placing if neces-
sary, and check the condition of the point where the
flanges rest on the cutting deck.
IMPORTANT Always replace damaged blades
and do not at tempt to repair or straighten them. Al­
ways use ma nufacturer's genuine spare parts!
