Cutterblade Removal

cont

To prevent injury it is wise to seek assistance when

turning the mower on its side.

Cutterblade Sharpening

A slightly worn cutterblade may be re-sharpened. Both

blade edges must be sharpened equally to ensure balance.

Sharpen the cutterblade every 25 mowing hours or more

frequently if conditions require. Remove the cutterblade

from the mower and clean using a brush and water.

Inspect the cutterblade for signs of damage.

Sharpen both cutting edges with a flat file to restore

performance. (Refer fig.16)

Ensure that the cutterblade is balanced. Use a screw

driver with a round shaft to support the cutterblade

through its centre hole. Hold the cutterblade horizontal

and then release. A balanced cutterblade will remain

horizontal. (Refer fig.17)

If the cutterblade is not balanced the heavy end will

rotate downwards. Sharpen the heavy end until the

cutterblade is correctly balanced. (Refer fig.18)

Supply Cable

Check the condition of the supply cable for damage or

ageing. Replace immediately if defective.

Storage

To collapse the handlebar, first unscrew the two top secur-

ing knobs to allow the top section of the handlebar to pivot

forward to rest against the middle section. Unscrew the

bottom two securing knobs sufficiently to allow both top

and middle sections to be folded forwards.

To ensure that your mower is maintained in good work-

ing order, it is important that the following procedure is

adopted when the mower is stored for periods in excess of

one month. Refer to the ‘Maintenance’ section as neces-

sary.

Clean all areas of the mower and ensure that the grassbag

is clean.

Lubricate the mower.

Treat metal parts with a water repellant anti-corrosion

product.

Lower the handlebar if desired.

Cover the mower with a protective sheet and store in a

dry area.

Rest the mower deck on wooden blocks to remove

the weight of the mower from its wheels/roller. (Refer

fig.19)
