BLADE CARRIER INSPECTION
Blade bolt fit into Bolt Mount Holes should be checked every time blades are changed. The blade bolt should fit
into bar holes as a snug slip fit. If the blade bolt fit appears to be loose or sloppy, measure the hole in bar. If the
bottom of the round hole is 1/16” or greater than the round shoulder of the new blade bolt the carrier should be
replaced. Bushing should be pressed into bar as far as possible. Use low hydrogen rod to weld bushing in
place.
Failure to replace a worn blade carrier as described above may lead to catastrophic failure
of the blade, blade bolt, and/or blade bolt nut resulting in the ejection of the broken parts out
from under the mower at tremendous speed and force which could result in serious bodily
injury or death.
