DRIVE BELTS7.8
All drive belts are spring-loaded and self-tensioning,
however after the first 2, 4, 8 and 10 hours of operation,
the belts should be checked for proper alignment and
wear. Thereafter, check the belts after every 40 hours of
operation or weekly, whichever occurs first.
- NOTE -
If you experience frequent belt wear or breakage,
see your authorized Scag service center for belt
adjustment.
CUTTER BLADES7.9
A. BLADE INSPECTION
Remove the ignition key before servicing the blades.1.
Raise the mower deck to the highest position. Place 2.
the lanyard pin in the highest cutting height position
to prevent the cutter deck from falling.
WARNING
Always wear proper hand and eye protection when
working with cutter blades.
Check the cutter blades for straightness. If the cutter 3.
blades appear bent, they will need to be replaced.
WARNING
Do not attempt to straighten a bent blade, and
never weld a broken or cracked blade. Always
replace it with a new blade to assure safety.
If a blade cutting edge is dull or nicked, it should be 4.
sharpened. Remove the blades for sharpening. See
"Blade Replacement."
- NOTE -
Keep the blades sharp. Cutting with dull blades not
only yields a poor mowing job, but slows the cutting
speed of the mower and causes extra wear on the
engine and the blade drive by pulling hard.
B. BLADE SHARPENING
- NOTE -
If possible, use a file to sharpen the blade. Using
a wheel grinder may burn the blade.
- NOTE -
DO NOT sharpen the blades beyond 1/3 of the
width of the blade. See Figure 7-7.
Sharpen the cutting edge at the same bevel as the 1.
original. See Figure 7-7. Sharpen only the top of the
cutting edge to maintain sharpness.

C. BLADE REPLACEMENT
WARNING
Always wear proper hand and eye protection when
working with cutter blades.
Remove the ignition key before replacing the blades.1.
Raise the mower deck to the highest position. Place 2.
the lanyard pin in the highest cutting height position
to prevent the cutter deck from falling.
Secure the cutter blades to prevent them from 3.
