Tire Care
Maintain
tire pressure
in front
at 14 PSI and rear tires
at 10 PSI,
3.
Blade Care
For best results
mower
blades must be kept sharp.
The
blades
can be sharpened
with a few strokes
of a file or
on a grinding
wheel.
We suggest
they be sharpened
after
every
25 hours of mowing,
Do not attempt
to sharpen
while
on mower.
a.
When grinding,
care should
be taken
to main-
tain
blade
balance
and
the
blade
should
be
checked
for proper balance before reinstallation
on mower.
b,
Unbalanced
or bent blade
will cause excessive
vibration
when running
and eventual
damage
to
mower
or engine.
Replace
bent
or damaged
blades.
To check blade balance,
drive a nail into a beam or wall.
Leave about one inch of the straight
nail exposed.
Place
center hole of clean blade over the head of the nail (Fig.
23).
NOTE:
CENTER
HOLE OF BLADE
ON NAIL.
IF
BLADE IS PROPE[RLY BALANCED,
BLADE SHOULD
RE-
MAIN IN POSITION
SHOWN
iN FIG. 23. IF EITHER END
OF THE BLADE MOVES
DOWNWARD,
BLADE IS NOT
BALANCED,
SHARPEN
THE HEAVY
END UNTIL
THE
BLADE IS BALANCED.
Every
50 Hours
(Once

Season)
(Operating

servicing)
