The deck spring tension is critical. If the tension is too much,
it will cause the spring to break. If too loose, the belt can
jump off or slip on the pulleys and cause a cut quality issue.
With the deck up, the spring coil gap should be about .025˝
- .030˝ (about the thickness of a credit card). Spring tension
adjustments can be made by sliding the bolt shown above
forward or backward in the slot of the deck. Belt tension
should be 50- 55 lbs with the deck at its highest setting.
The blade in the foreground (see photo) was utilized long
after replacement was required. In addition to a decline
in cut quality, failure to replace a worn or damaged blade
creates a major safety hazard. Bad Boy recommends that
blade sharpening be performed by a professional.
To change blades, it may be easier to use a piece of wood to
keep the blade from turning so that the bolt can be loosened.
Bolts used have right-handed threads. Re-torque the blade
bolts to 90-110 lbs. The blade spindles contain a sealed ball
bearing in the top and bottom of the spindle. The bearings
are replaceable for a more cost effective repair.
