Checking for Bent Blades
Note: The machine must be on a level surface for
the following procedure.
1. Raise the mower deck to the highest
height-of-cut position.
2. While wearing thickly padded gloves, or other
adequate hand protection, slowly rotate the
blade into a position that allows you to measure
the distance between the cutting edge and the
level surface the machine is on ( Figure 59 ).

4. Rotate the same blade 180 degrees so that
the opposing cutting edge is now in the same
position ( Figure 61 ).
