Cutting Unit Maintenance

Blade Safety

Use care when checking the reel cutting-unit. Wear
gloves and use caution when servicing the reel.
A worn or damaged blade or bedknife can break, and
a piece could be thrown toward you or bystanders,
resulting in serious personal injury or death.
•
Inspect the blades and bedknives periodically for
excessive wear or damage.
•
Use care when checking the blades. Wear gloves
and use caution when servicing them. Only
replace or backlap the blades and bedknives;
never straighten or weld them.
•
When servicing the blades, be aware that you
can still move the blades after you disconnect the
power.
