Installing the Blade
Note: In certain mowing conditions, improved bagging
performance can be achieved by using bagging blades.
Contact an Authorized Service Dealer for the proper
blades for different mowing conditions.
1. Install the blade onto the spindle shaft (Fig. 13).
Important
The curved part of the blade must be
pointing upward toward the inside of the mower to ensure
proper cutting.
2. Install the spring disk and blade bolt (Fig. 13). Torque
the blade bolt to 85–110 ft-lb (115–150 N m).
3. Rotate the blades to ensure there is clearance between
the blade tips and the baffles.
4. If contact is made, do not use the mower. Check and
make sure the baffles are installed properly.
Important
Do not use the mower if blades contact the
baffles.
