Characteristics of the original blades
The original blades have design, material and
processing characteristics optimised for use on
the equipment for which they were designed; these
characteristics are not present in socalled “com
patible” spare parts.
Here are the reasons why it is important to choose
an original blade, useful when making such deci
sions.
a) No breakage of the blade
ends. Using steel balls, the manu
facturer simulates what can hap
pen when mowing over any foreign
bodies on the lawn. This can ruin the blade edge,
but no component can come loose, fall o or be
hurled away.
b) No breakage of the blades.
The impact test is the most severe
durability test that any lawnmower
can be subjected to. An iron tube is
placed exactly inside the blades when the mower
is running. The blade may deform but it will never,
under any circumstances, fall o or break. This test
veries that blades and other components meet the
high safety requirements.
c) Excellent cutting result. The
blades and blade ends supplied
by the authorised dealer are opti
mised for the application for which
they are intended. In short, this means that the
blades are suitable for the shape of the casing and
to the number of revolutions to provide the best
possible cutting result.
