Install Blade
Parts Required: Upper plate w/25 mm diameter pilot,
lower blade mounting plate,
10 mm Left Hand thread hex nut,
2 x 25 mm cotter pin,
blade w/25 mm arbor diameter.
1. Install adapter plate (D) on splined PTO shaft, pilot side down. Blade
installation requires Upper Plate (D) with 25 mm pilot.
2. Install Blade (K) on adapter plate pilot. Blades must be installed so that
rotation arrow on blade matches rotation of unit: teeth toward direction of
rotation (See debris shield decal). Secure blade with Lower Plate (H), and
10 mm Left Hand thread nut (G). Turn nut counterclockwise on PTO shaft to
tighten.
3. Align hole in adapter plate with notch in gear housing, and insert Locking Tool
(A) to prevent splined shaft from turning. Arrow on gear housing points to
notch. Tighten 10 mm nut securely.
4. Insert Cotter Pin (L) in hole in PTO shaft, and bend pin legs around shaft
counterclockwise to retain 10 mm nut.
IMPORTANT!
Never reuse a cotter pin - install a new cotter pin each time a blade is installed or
replaced.
5. Remove locking tool.

The unit should now be completely assembled and ready for use
with a blade.
IMPORTANT!
Discard blades that are bent, warped, cracked, broken or damaged in any way. Use a sharp blade. A dull blade is more
likely to snag and thrust.
