To properly sharpen the cutting blades, remove equal
amounts of metal from both ends of the blades along the
cutting edges, parallel to the trailing edge, at a 25 ° to 30 °
angle. Always grind each cutting blade edge equally to
maintain proper blade balance. See Fig. 7-6.
Figure 7-6
CAUTION:
If the cutting edge of the blade has
previously been sharpened, or if any metal
separation is present, replace the blades with new
ones.
WARNING! A poorly balanced blade will cause
excessive vibration, may damage to the tractor and/
or result in personal injury.
5. Test the blade's balance using a blade balancer. Grind
metal from the heavy side until it balances evenly.
NOTE:When replacing the blade, be sure to install the blade with
the side of the blade marked "Bottom" (or with a part number
stamped in it) facing the ground when the mower is in the
operating position.
