2,

Tire Care

Maintain tire pressure in front at I4 PSI and rear tires at 12 PS!.

Blade Sharpening

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

When grinding, care should be taken to maintain blade balance and the blade should be checked for proper balance before remstaflation on mower.

Unbalanced or bent blade will cause excessive vibration when running, and eventual damage to mower or engine.

Replace bent or damaged blades.

b_

To check blade balance, drive a nail into a beam or watt. 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 PROPERLY

BALANCED, BLADE SHOULD REMAIN IN POSI-

TION SHOWN IN FIG. 23.

IF EITHER END OF THE

BLADE MOVES DOWNWARD, BLADE tS NOT
