Sharpening

These Alloy Knives can be sharpened by filing or grinding. If by grinding, keep cool to maintain hardness and

avoid early dulling. When sharpening, remove metal mostly at the end of the tip and not much next to the

shank. This will make the cutting portion taper rather than long and weak after several sharpenings. If the

Rhino Electric Grinder is used, the knives can be sharpened without removing from the machine. Sharp knives

require less power than dull knives. Sharp knives do a better job than dull knives. Replace broken or missing

knives promptly!

These Alloy Spring Steel Knives are tough and will bend quite far before they break, and can be straightened

several times if bent slightly from hitting obstructions. Use two pairs of pliers or Eavesdrops

Replace any broken or cracked blade at once to prevent the knife's flying off causing imbalance and vibration

or possible serious bodily injury.

Wing drivelines must be timed (left and right driveline yokes must be orientated at same position) with one

another to prevent damage to the driveline and gearbox when raising mower wings. If for any reason a wing

driveline must be disconnected make certain to orientate driveline yokes at same orientation as opposite

driveline wing when reconnecting.
