Blade Installation
1. Place the new or sharpened and balanced
blades on the spindles with the curved edge
(sail) part of the blade facing "up" towards
the underside of the deck.
NOTE: Rotate the blades to different spindles
(from the removed position) according to the
inset drawing.
2. Install the two cup washers ① spacer ②
and bolt ③.
3. Hand tighten the bolt.
4. Wedge a block of wood between the blade

to tighten the blade retaining bolt. Torque
each blade bolt to 98 - 118 N·m.

and spindle pulley fasteners after the first hour of
mower operation, and daily thereafter.
