Removing or installing blades
If the mower blades need to be removed, do the following:
1. the blade turns in a
counter clockwise
direction when viewed from the bottom
of the deck. The cutting edge must be towards the direction of rotation. The lift
wing of the blades is closest to the deck and the cutting edge away from it
(see
fig. 10)
.
2. Install the cup washer
(see fig. 10)
over the blade bolt and secure the blade in
place as described above.
3. With a wrench, block the spindle and tighten the bolt to 140 N.m., 103 lb.ft.
(see
fig. 11)
.
4. To remove the blades reverse the procedure.
WARNING: do not substitute blades or any bolt for the blade retaining bolt.
Company blades and blade retaining bolts are specially made for this application.
Using non original parts can effect the quality of cut and may also cause damage
to the mower.
DANGER: proper torque must be used when tightening the blade retaining bolt. If
these safety precautions are not followed, the blade could come off during opera-
tion and be thrown tens of meters from the mower.
Sharpening Blades
Blade sharpening is extremely important in order to get the best cutting results. Sharp
blades permit a high quality cut and also reduces HP thus lowering cost.
