SERVICING THE  MOWER  BLADES
Blades should be sharp and free of nicks and dents. If
not, sharpen blades as described in following steps.

a 1” wrench on the flats of the spindle shaft while
removing the blade mounting bolt with a 15/16”
wrench (Figure 12).
1.
36” Model: To remove blade for sharpening, use
a block of wood to prevent to blade from rotating
while removing the blade mounting bolt with a
15/16” wrench (Figure 12).
2. Use a file to sharpen blade to fine edge. Remove
all nicks and dents in blade edge. If blade is
severely damaged, it should be replaced.
3. Balance the blade as shown in Figure 13. Center
the blade’s hole on a nail lubricated with a drop of
oil. A balanced blade will remain level.

toward deck as shown in Figure 14. For the 36”
model, make sure the blade is firmly seated in the
blade saddle. Secure with a bolt and flat washer
