IMPORTANT: Replace the fuel lter only in a clean
area where the fuel line and connections will not be
contaminated by any dust and dirt.
DANGER
Gasoline is extremely ammable and can
be highly explosive. To minimize danger:
• Use only an approved fuel container for
gasoline.
• DO NOT allow open ames or sparks
near the machine while performing main-
tenance or refueling; DO NOT smoke
while working with fuel.
• Wipe up spilled gasoline immediately
and completely.
1. Expand and slide clamps on either side of the
lter away from lter and pull fuel lines off lter.
2. Replace lter.
Blade Overload Shear Bolts
NOTE: Shear bolts are not used on the DSD52
mower deck.
The cutting blade is keyed to the blade hub by two
(2) shear bolts (10-24 x 5/8 in. stainless steel ma-
chine screws). These bolts are designed to shear
and protect the blade drive gearbox from damage if
the blade encounters a shock load.

NOTE: Tightening the 5/8-18 blade mounting nut
to 60 ft-lb (81.3 N·m) is also important for proper
shock load protection. It is important to not over-
tighten the mounting nut since this defeats (over-
rides) the function of the shear bolts.
If these bolts shear, remove the blade and install
new bolts. Refer to CHECKING/SERVICING in
this section for Sharpen Mower Blades which de-
scribes the blade removal and installation proce-
dure.
After reinstalling the blade, check blade timing by
moving blades through one (1) complete revolu-
tion. Make sure blade tips pass clear of each other.
If timing is incorrect, contact your Walker dealer.
