CAUTION
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦
Operating a mower deck with loose or weakened
blade bolts can be dangerous.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦
A loose or weakened blade bolt could allow a blade
rotating at a high speed to come out from under the
deck, causing serious injury or property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦
Replace the blade bolt after striking a foreign object.
(Use only Exmark replacement parts PN 103-1026 –
blade bolt and PN 103-0865 – spring disk washer).
♦
DO NOT lubricate the threads of the bolt or spindle
before assembly.
♦
Torque the blade bolt to 115-120 ft-lbs. (156-13 N-m).
