The blades can be sharpenedwith 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 If you mow in sandy soil check the blades after each two mowings The sand wears the blade away rapidly a.

Also, experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage, Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer, 23 NUT TRUNNION 25.
