BLADE REPLACEMENT
The mower deck must be securely blocked up or locked in place before doing a blade
replacement. When replacing or grinding blades, all three blades must be replaced or
reground at the same time to maintain the proper balance in the cutting unit. Use heavy
leather gloves to handle the blades. It is easiest to remove the centre bolt if you anchor
the blade solidly. There are devices sold at hardware stores for this purpose. Be sure to
tighten the centre bolt and lock washer securely when replacing blades. Use a torque
wrench to re-tighten spindle bolts to 180 ft.-lbs. The bolts have a patch of thread lock
material pre-applied which will hold for up to five usages. If replacing the lock washer,
use an extra heavy duty as supplied with the spindle.
