Default lawnmower blade...

I have *stupidly* removed the blade from a Mountfield Empress
lawnmower without noting the orientation... Now I dont know which way

if you look at the blade on the mower you can see it or should the
edge bevel be facing up so that when you look at it you just see the
back of the blade...

Thanks in advance and yes I know that I should know better!

sharp edge towards the ground.

To clarify, the non flat edge, i.e. the one where the bevel is cut
should face the ground?

And that the blade should be oriented so that the scoops at the back of
the blade are pointing upwards so that the grass is thrown up towards
the grass bin?

Thanks to all :~)
