WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
A locknut that has been removed can lose its thread locking
properties. Reusing a used locknut can result in a thrown
blade. Always use a new locknut when installing blades.
The cutting blades should not have more than 3/4" free
vertical movement at the blade tips. If vertical movement
exceeds 3/4", install or change to thicker spacers (#1) as
follows. Order spacers (#1) and locknuts (#5) from your
nearest Land pride dealer.
1.
Check top and bottom blade deflections. If vertical
deflection at either blade tip is greater than 3/4",
remove blade bolt (#4) and reassemble using thicker
spacers (#1). The greater the deflection, the thicker
the spacer required.
2. Assemble blades by inserting 1"-8 x 4 1/2" GR8 hex
head bolt (#4) through bushing (#2), spacer (#1),
lower cutting blade (#6), blade carrier (#3), upper flat
cutting blade (#7), spacer (#1), and bushing (#2).
Temporary secure blade with a plain hex nut (Plain
hex nut furnished by customer.)
Draw nut up snug.
Do not tighten.
3. Check top and bottom blade deflections again. If
deflection at the blade tips are still greater than 3/4",
remove blade bolt and reassemble as before with
thicker spacers.
4. Once blade deflections are correct,
replace plain
nut with supplied locknut (#5) and torque to
450 ft-lbs.
