How to examine the blades in the service position
The blades can be best examined if you lift the cutting deck in the service position and start rotating one of them. If all blades are rotating at the same time, there is no issue with the cutting deck belt that is connecting the blades.
If one, or more, blades are not rotating, the cutting deck belt is worn out and needs to be replaced. This should be done by an authorized dealer.

If you notice that the blades are not working as usual, for example, the middle one is not cutting the grass or the blades are not rotating fast enough, not cutting the grass as they usually do, there is a problem with the belt connecting the engine with the cutting deck or with the belt tensioning spring.
If you notice any issues mentioned above, you can remove the cutting deck cover using the provided tool and check for damage of the belt to the cutting deck or the tension spring. Please make sure to use protective gloves when performing this task.
