Quality Of Cut

Rotary mowers cut grass by the blade's cutting surface impacting against the grass stems at a high velocity. To

assure good quality of cut, the cutting edge of the blade must be kept in a sharp condition. A dull blade will

produce a ragged cut and will require an excessive amount of engine horsepower to rotate the blade through the

grass. The most common cause for rotary mowers not giving a good quality of cut is due to dull cutting edges

and/or bent blades.

The blade must be checked to assure that it is not bent and that it has the correct attitude in relation to

the housing and ground surface.

The blade must be sharpened correctly.

The blade balance must be checked each time the blade is sharpened.

When installing the blade, it is very important that the blade retaining bolt or nut be tightened to the

correct torque so it will not loosen during operation.
