Blade Sharpening
A slightly worn blade may be re-sharpened. Both blade edges must be sharpened equally to ensure balance.
Sharpen the blade every 25 mowing hours or more frequently if conditions require.
Remove the blade from the mower and clean using a brush and water. Inspect the blade for signs of damage.
Sharpen both cutting edges with a flat file to restore performance. Figure 26.
Ensure that the blade is balanced. Use a screwdriver with a round shaft to support the blade through its
centre hole. Hold the blade horizontal and then release. A balanced blade will remain horizontal. Figure 27.
If the blade is not balanced the heavy end will rotate downwards. Sharpen the heavy end until the blade is
correctly balanced. Figure 28.
