MAINTENANCE
HANDLING THE CUTTING KNIFE
Warning:
Disconnect the spark plug wire before checking the cutting knife or blade attachment shaft. If the
knife hits an object, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug cable and check the mower for
damage. Check whether the crankshaft on the power take-off side or the adapter to which the knife
is attached has not been damaged (bent or cracked).
The knife adapter does not provide protection against engine damage when the knife hits objects
other than grass, e.g. stones, branches, molehills.
Check often that the knives are not bent, that they are not excessively worn, and that there are no
other damages such as cracks or deformations.
Damaged parts must be replaced with new ones, recommended by the manufacturer. For safety,
replace the knives every two years. Knives should be well sharpened (details in chapter "Sharpening
a knife"). Blunt knives tug at the grass, causing the tips to yellow.
Attention! It is imperative to balance the knife after each sharpening. An unbalanced blade
can cause dangerous vibrations that can damage the mower and / or cause an accident.
Check the knife clamping screw often. The screw must be firmly tightened to a torque of 45 to 55
Nm.
