CUTTING BLADE
Tip mower as specified in separate engine man-

Remove the bolt and blade support which holds
the blade and adapter to the engine crankshaft.
Remove the blade and adapter from the crank-
shaft.
WARNING: Periodically inspect the
blade adapter for cracks, especially if
you strike a foreign object. Replace

For best results your blade should be sharp.
The blade may be resharpened by removing
it and either grinding or filing the cutting
edge keeping as close to the original bevel
as possible. It is extremely important that each
cutting edge receives an equal amount of
grinding to prevent an unbalanced blade. Im-
proper blade balance will result in excessive
vibration causing eventual damage to the en-
gine and mower. Be sure to carefully
balance blade after sharpening. The blade
can be tested for balance by balancing it on
a round shaft screwdriver. Remove metal
from the heavy side until it balances evenly.
Before reassembling the blade and the blade
adapter to the unit, lubricate the engine
crankshaft and the inner surface of the blade
adapter with light oil.
