SECTION 11: MOWER BLADE MAINTENANCE 11.1 Check mower blades after each use. This is essential for maintaining well-groomed turf. Keep the blades sharp. If a dull blade is used for cutting, the grass will tear rather than cut. This could damage the grass leaving a brown frayed top on the grass within a few hours. A dull blade will also require more power from the engine. - Page 15 PARTS MANUAL FOR YOUR MZ Model Zero Turn Mower PAGE 15...
