7�3�2 LEDGER BLADES:
The BXM Series is equipped with a ledger (stationary) blade that acts as a shear for the moving rotor
blades.
The ledger blade is designed with 4 usable corners. When the corner facing the rotor blade rounds over,
remove the blade and re-install with a different corner facing the rotor blade. It is recommended that the
clearance between the rotor and stationary blades be set and maintained at 1/32 to 1/16 " (.76 - 1.52
mm) to obtain the best performance.

Disengage the PTO, stop the engine, remove the ignition key and place it in your pocket and wait
for all moving parts to stop

2.
