INSTALLATION OF THE METAL BLADE

WARNING: Wear protective gloves when handling or performing maintenance on the blade to avoid injury. The blade is sharp and can cut you even when it is not moving.

WARNING: Do not use any blades, or fastening hardware other than the washers and nuts shown in the following illustrations. These parts must be provided by Poulan/Weed Eater and installed as shown below. Failure to use proper parts can cause the blade to fly off and seriously hurt you or others.

NOTE: The dust cup and retaining washer are located on the gearbox shaft and not in the parts bag. All other fasteners mentioned in the follow- ing assembly steps are in the parts bag.

4.Slide the blade and retaining washer onto the shaft of the gearbox.

5.Place the cupped washer onto the shaft. Make sure the cupped side of the washer is toward the blade.
