Installing the Blades
Important:
The right-hand blade on this mower deck
is counter-rotating and uses a left-hand threaded blade
bolt. Use Figure 94 for the correct placement of the
mower blades.
1.
Install the left and center blades, curved washers, and
blade bolts to the spindle shafts (Figure 93 and Figure
94).
Note:
Ensure the curved part of the blade is pointing
upward toward the inside of the mower deck to ensure
proper cutting.
Note:
Ensure the curved-washer cone is installed
towards the bolt head (Figure 93).
2.
Install the right blade, curved washer, and blade bolt
(left-hand threaded bolt) to the spindle shaft (Figure 93
and Figure 94).
