CAUTION:
Beware of the cutting edges on the blades. Always wear work gloves when performing blade
maintenance.
Blades should be inspected on a daily basis for nicks, bends, and or excessive wear. If the blades
is worn, cracked, bent, or damaged, replace with a new blade immediately before using the
mower. Use only genuine Red Hawk Mower replacement blades since substitute blades may
not meet Red Hawk Mower specifications and may be dangerous.
To remove the blades, refer to page 22, section "Removing And Adjusting The Blades."
When sharpening the blades, sharpen only the cutting edges and try to maintain the original
angle of the blade.
Do not make the cutting edge "razor sharp" and remove the same amount from each side of
the blade so that balance is maintained.
Cleaning The Mower
It is recommended that the mower be cleaned in a daily basis. Excessive accumulation of dirt,
debris, oil, etc., causes premature wear on the components and may present a potential safety
hazard.
