3. Clean unit of dirt and debris to minimize
rusting and wear.
4. Keep all shields in place. Order new shields if
damaged or missing.
5. Keep cutting edges sharp. Sharp cutting
edges work easier and better. Check more

Blades are reversible. If blade edge becomes
dull, unbolt it, reverse cutting edge and
reattach securely.
6. Replace any worn or damaged parts
immediately.
7. Check all bolts and nuts to make sure they are
tight.
8. NEVER go underneath equipment. Never
place any part of the body underneath
equipment or between movable parts even
when the engine is turned off. Servicing this
Grader Blade does not require going
underneath.
