When reinstalling the blades, be sure they are installed so that the wind wings are pointing upward toward the top of the deck. Tighten the nuts to 90 to 110 ft-lbs. (122 to 149 N·m).

After replacing the blades, apply grease to the exposed threads at the bottom of the spindle bolts to prevent rust buildup.

B. Lubrication

After every 10 hours of operation and/ or before putting the deck into winter storage, lubricate the spindle assemblies and the spindle belt idler arm using 251H EP grease or an

equivalent No. 2 multipurpose lithium grease. The lube fitting for the outer spindles can be accessed by removing the button plugs in the belt covers. Use grease liberally. Excess grease will be expelled from the upper spindle seals. When the spindle is fully greased, the expelled grease will cause the top spindle seal to give off a muffled crackling noise (Refer to Figure 48).

Apply grease to all other lube fittings after every 50 hours of operation. Refer to the MAINTENANCE CHART and LUBRICATION ILLUSTRATION in Section 9
