TIRES
• Maintain
proper
air pressure
in all tires
(See sides

chemicals
which can harm rubber.

stumps,
stones,
deep
ruts, sharp
objects
and other hazards
that may cause
tire damage.

To seal
tire punctures

TO SHARPEN
BLADE
NOTE:
We do not recommend

An unbalanced
blade will cause
excessive
vibration
and eventual
damage
to mower
and engine.
• The blade
can be sharpened
with a file or
on a grinding
wheel.
Do not attempt
to
sharpen
while
on the mower.
• To check
blade
balance,
you will need a
5/8" diameter
steel
bolt,
pin,
or a cone
balancer.
(When
using a cone
balancer,
follow
the instructions
