Blade Care & Sharpening

Sharp blades provide cleaner cuts and reduce strain on the engine.

1. Disconnect spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting.
2. Tip mower on its side (carburetor side up to prevent oil leak).
3. Remove blade using a blade removal tool or wrench (note orientation).
4. Sharpen blade with file or bench grinder, maintaining original angle.
5. Balance blade using a blade balancer (unbalanced blades cause vibration).
6. Reinstall blade with proper torque (typically 30-40 ft-lbs).

WARNING! Always wear heavy gloves when handling blades. Replace blades that are cracked, bent, or excessively worn.

Storage & Winterization

Proper storage prevents fuel system issues and corrosion.

1. Run engine to warm oil, then drain and replace with fresh oil.
2. Add fuel stabilizer to gas tank and run engine for 5 minutes.
3. Disconnect battery and store in cool, dry place (charge periodically).
4. Clean entire mower, especially under deck.
5. Store in dry, covered area away from moisture.

CAUTION! Do not store with gasoline in tank for more than 30 days without stabilizer. Never store near open flames or heat sources.
