INSTALLATION OF THE METAL

BLADE

WARNING:

Wear protective gloves

when handling or performing maintenance on

the blade to avoid injury. The blade is sharp and

can cut you even when it is not moving.

WARNING:

Do not use any blades, or

fastening hardware other than the washers and

nuts shown in the following illustrations. These

parts must be provided by McCulloch, and

installed as shown below. Failure to use proper

parts can cause the blade to fly off and seriously

hurt you or others.

NOTE:

The dust cup and retaining washer are

located on the gearbox shaft and not in the parts

bag. All other fasteners mentioned in the follow-

ing assembly steps are in the parts bag.

1. Remove the retaining washer from the

threaded shaft of the gearbox. Leave the

dust cup on the shaft.

2. Install the blade and the retaining washer

over the threaded shaft.

3. Make sure the raised part of the retaining

washer is facing the gearbox and the

raised area fits into the hole in the center

of the blade.

4. Slide the blade and retaining washer onto

the shaft of the gearbox.

5. Place the cupped washer onto the shaft.

Make sure the cupped side of the washer

is toward the blade.

6. Install the blade nut by threading onto the

shaft counterclockwise.

NOTE:

Make sure all parts are in place as il-

lustrated, and the blade is sandwiched between

the dust cup and the retaining washer. There

should be no space between the blade and the

dust cup or the retaining washer.

7. Push in locking lever and hold.

8. Rotate blade nut until the locking lever falls

into one of the grooves in the dust cup.

Locking Lever

9. Continue to hold in locking lever. This will

keep the shaft from turning while tightening

the blade nut.

10. Tighten blade nut firmly with a wrench.

11. Release locking lever.

12. Turn blade by hand. If the blade binds

against the shield, or appears to be uneven,

the blade is not centered, and you must re-

install.
