8. OCCASIONAL MAINTENANCE

8.1 CHECKING AND REPLACING
THE CUTTING-MEANS
NOTE A badly sharpened cutting means pulls
at the grass and causes the lawn to turn yellow.
All work on the cutting means
(disassembly, sharpening, balancing,
repairing, reassembly and/or replacing)
are demanding jobs that require special
skills as well as special tools. For
safety reasons, these jobs are best
carried out at a Specialised Centre.
Make sure damaged, misshapen
or worn cutting means are replaced
as a whole unit, together with its own
screws in place to preserve balance.
IMPORTANT Cutting means should
be replaced in pairs, especially when
there are marked differences in wear.
IMPORTANT Always use original
cutting means bearing the code
indicated in the "Technical Data".
Given product evolution, the cutting means
listed in the "Technical Data" table may be
replaced in time with others having similar
interchangeable and operating safety features.
