out any accumulation of grass in the blade
area. Be careful of the sharp edges of the
blade. Clean often in wet, new grass, and
always after every use.
4) Certain types of grass or grass conditions
may require that an area be mulched a
second time to fully disperse the grass
throughout the lawn. If cutting a second
time, it is advisable to cut perpendicular
(across) the first cut pattern. DO NOT
CHANGE CUT PATTERN IN ANY WAY THAT
WOULD CAUSE MOWING DOWN A HILL.
5) Change your cutting pattern from week to
week. This will help prevent matting and
graining of the lawn.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Stop the mower and
remove the safety key before
removing the grass bag.

To ensure long and reliable service, perform
the following maintenance procedures
regularly.
• Check for obvious defects such as a loose,
dislodged or a damaged blade, loose
fittings, and worn or damaged components.
• Check that the covers and guards are all
undamaged and are correctly attached to
mower.

regular maintenance, please call our
customer helpline , 1-866-354-9679.
BLADE (16) SHARPENING
KEEP BLADE SHARP FOR BEST MOWER
PERFORMANCE. A DULL BLADE DOES NOT
CUT GRASS CLEANLY OR MULCH PROPERLY.
WEAR PROPER EYE PROTECTION WHILE
REMOVING, SHARPENING, AND INSTALLING
BLADE. ENSURE THAT SAFETY KEY IS
REMOVED.
Sharpening the blade twice during a mowing
season is usually sufficient under normal
circumstances. Sand causes the blade to dull
quickly. If your lawn has sandy soil, more
frequent sharpening may be required.
REPLACE A BENT OR DAMAGED BLADE
IMMEDIATELY.
WHEN SHARPENING THE BLADE:
1. Make sure blade remains balanced.
2. Sharpen blade at the original cutting angle.
3. Sharpen cutting edges on both ends of
blade, removing equal amounts of material
from both ends.
TO SHARPEN BLADE IN A VISE (See Fig.
L)
1. Be sure the Switch Lever(2) is released, the
blade has stopped and the Safety Key(6)
removed before removing the blade.
2. Remove Blade from mower. See
instructions for removing and attaching
blade.
3. Secure Blade L-1 in a vise L-2.
4. Wear safety glasses and gloves and be
careful not to cut yourself.
5. Carefully file the cutting edges of the blade
with a fine tooth file L-3 or sharpening
stone.
6. Check balance of blade. See instructions
below for Blade balancing.
7. Replace Blade on mower and tighten
securely. Refer to instructions below.
BLADE BALANCING (See Fig. M)
Check balance of blade by placing center hole
in blade M-1 over a nail or screwdriver shank
M-2, clamped horizontally in a vise M-3. If
either
end of the blade rotates downward, file that
end. The blade is properly balanced when
neither end drops.
BLADE MAINTENANCE (See Fig. N1, N2)
Replace your metal Blade(16) after 50 hours
mowing or 2 years, which ever comes first,
regardless of condition.
Follow these procedures to remove and
replace the blade. You will need garden gloves
(not provided) and a spanner wrench (not
provided) to remove the blade. Hold the Blade
and unscrew the Blade Bolt (15) counter-
clockwise using a spanner wrench, and then
remove blade.
To re-assemble, position the Blade with the
