BLADE REPLACEMENT
Remove the reel in the reverse order of installation
as stated in the Set-Up instructions in this manual.
Blades are removed from the reel by removing the
pillow block and the reel nut on the end of the reel,
opposite the drive pulley.
Note how the blades are spaced before
removing them to assure proper installation of the
new blades.
NOTE : When reassembling the reel, it is important to
start and end with a spacer. DO NOT assemble with
a blade next to the shaft nut.
When installing new blades (Part No. 516901 and
Part No. 516900, straight blades) note the
hexagon shape of the shaft. Install the first blade
onto the shaft, then rotate the next blade so it is one
lobe forward (60
o
off center) from each previous
blade.
Keep installing the blades in this order until all blades
are installed.
Mount the reel shaft, with new blades in the reverse
order it was removed.
After 4 hours of use, check reel nut for proper torque.
The torque value for the reel nut is 348 ft.-lbs. + 35
ft.- lbs. (420 to 510 N·m).
