After cleaning and drying the mower, spray the cutting blades with a light preservative oil such as
WD-40. Hanging the mower up off the floor is recommended and will help keep moisture
accumulation to a minimum.
SECTION VI, RESHARPENING
Under normal conditions and frequency of use, your GreensMower cutting blades should not need
to be sharpened more than every year. Keep in mind that your local conditions or the frequency of
top dressing may affect the need for resharpening.
When resharpening does become necessary, we strongly recommend you contact a golf course or
mowing equipment dealer in your area who offers resharpening/lapping services.
However, if you are a die-hard do-it-yourselfer, this section of the manual gives you instructions
you may follow to do your own resharpening (the technical term is “backlapping”). If you choose to
sharpen the blades yourself, be sure to follow the step-by-step procedures and diagrams in this sec-
tion. We are not responsible for your results.
It is recommended that you perform the sharpening operation with your mower on a level
floor or secure workbench. You must observe the following precautions!
