BLADE INSTALLATION
Your dealer can supply Grasshopper
replacement blades. They are made
of special steel alloys and subjected
to rigid heat-treat and inspection re-
quirements. Substitute blades may
not meet these rigid specifi cations and
MAY BE DANGEROUS.
Reverse the removal procedure. Be
sure fiber washer and cone are in-
stalled as shown.
IMPORTANT
When installing a blade, the lift of the
blade must be toward blade spindle
housing (refer to Fig. 10). Tighten bolt
(item A, Fig. 10) into blade spindle
housing to 50-55 ft lbs (68-75Nm).
