CUTTER DECK MUST BE SUPPORTED BY WHATEVER MEANS NECESSARY TO
PREVENT DECK FROM FALLING WHILE IN THE VERTICAL POSITION. FAILURE
TO SUPPORT THE DECK CAN AND WILL CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
Note: Cutter Deck MUST be stood vertically “on end”, past center. Refer to drawing below.
This will prevent the bar from coming off the shaft during the removal process.
Step 1. With the cutter deck safely supported in a
vertical position, remove the cotter pin and output
nut, using a 2” 6 point socket.
Step 2. Tighten bar removal tool onto output
shaft threads, tool must be tightened adequately to
bottom out onto the bottom of the output shaft.
Step 3. Strike the head of the removal tool using
a sledge hammer. The impact of this process will
unlock the tapered root spline inside the blade
bar hub. It may require multiple strikes to cause
the spline to unlock. The sound will change to a
“hollow” sound when the unlock occurs.
Use care while removing the tool from the shaft,
make sure blade bar is supported and cannot slide
off the shaft.
CAUTION! KEEP FINGERS, HANDS, AND FEET OUT FROM UNDER
THE CUTTER BAR AT ALL TIMES. FALLING BAR CAN CAUSE INJURY.
