ground before removing lifting device. Always keep feet and
other extremities clear of areas where components can fall.
1. Attach park stand mounting bracket (#3) to underside
of mainframe (#2) with two 3/8"-16 x 1" GR5 hex

pivot cap (#5) over blade pivot shaft (#6).
6. Secure pivot cap (#5) with 3/4"-10 x 1 1/2" GR5
hex flange cap screw (#24). Tighten hex flange cap
screw to the correct torque.
7. Align center hole “A” in blade turntable with hitch pin
hole “B” and insert 3/4" hitch pin (#16). Secure hitch
pin with hairpin cotter (#21).
