Important:
Position the curved ends of the
blade to point toward the machine housing.
6. Use a torque wrench to tighten the blade bolt
to 82 N∙m (60 ft-lb).
Important:
A bolt torqued to 82 N∙m (60
ft-lb) is very tight. While holding the blade
with a block of wood, put your weight
behind the ratchet or wrench and tighten the
bolt securely. This bolt is very difficult to
overtighten.
Adjusting the Self-Propel
Drive
Whenever you install a new self-propel cable or if
the self-propel drive is out of adjustment, adjust the
self-propel drive cable.
1. Loosen the cable-support nut ( Figure 33 ).

2. Hold the self-propel-drive bar 25 to 38 mm (1 to
1-1/2 inches) from the handle (
Figure 33 ).
3. Pull down the cable jacket (toward the machine)
until there is no slack in the cable (
Figure 33 ).
4. Tighten the nut on the cable support.
5. Release the self-propel-drive bar and ensure
that the cable is loose.
Note:
The cable must be loose with the
self-propel drive bar in the released position;
otherwise, the machine may creep when you
disengage the bar.
