Checking for Bent Blades
Note:
The machine must be on a level surface for
the following procedure.
1.
Raise the mower deck to the highest
height-of-cut position; also considered the
'transport' position.
2.
While wearing thickly padded gloves, or other
adequate hand protection, slowly rotate the
blade to be measure into a position that allows
effective measurement of the distance between
the cutting edge and the level surface the
machine is on
