2. Tire Care
Maintain tire preSsure in front at 14 PSI and rear tires at 12

3. Blade Care
For best results mower blades must be kept sharp. 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. Blade Replacement
Raise mower to highest position to permit access to
blades..
1. Remove the hex head bolt, Iockwasher and l/at
washer (Fig. 11) (turn counterclockwise)_r_)

When grinding, care should be taken to maintain
blade balance and the blade should be checked for
proper balance before reinstallation on mower An
unbalanced or bent blade will cause excessive vibration when running, and eventual damage to mower
or engine° Replace bent or damaged blades,
REPAIR AND ADJUSTMENT
C,
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 overthe
head of the nail(Fig. 12) NOTE: CENTER HOLE

Run engine 10 minutes after adding STA-BIL to gasoline to
allow additive to reach carburetor
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel
hose, or tank during storage. 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,

NOTE: GASOLINE STORAGE STABILIZER (SUCH AS
