If you do not have the necessary expertise
or auxiliary equipment, you should have
the blade sharpened by a specialist dealer
(VIKING recommends VIKING specialist
dealers). Operation of the machine is
impaired in the case of an incorrectly
sharpened mowing blade (incorrect
sharpening angle, imbalance, etc.).
Sharpening instructions

sharpening, e.g. with water.
The blade must not be allowed to
display blue colouring, as this would
reduce its cutting quality.
● Sharpen blades evenly to prevent
vibration due to imbalance.
● Observe a sharpening angle of 30°.
● Observe the wear limits (
