away from shrubs, fences, driveways,
etc After
two or three rounds, mow in the opposite
direction

ASSEMBLY

1. When grinding,
care should be taken to maintain
blade balance and the blade should be checked for proper balance
before reinstallation
on mower, Unbalanced
or bent blade
will cause excessive vibration
when running,
and eventual
damage to mower or engine
Replace bent, damaged or unbalanced blades.

To check Blade balance, drive a nail into a beam or wall.
Leave about one inch of the straight nail exposed, Place
Center Hole of clean Blade over the head of the nail (Fig.
22). NOTE: CENTER HOLE OF BLADE ON NAIL,, tF
BLADE IS PROPERLY BALANCED,
BLADE SHOULD
REMAIN IN POSITION SHOWN IN FIG. 22, IF EITHER
