•Install the blade adapter on the pulley with the “star” away from the pulley. See Figure 16.

•Place the new blade on the blade adapter with the side marked bottom (or with part number) facing away from the adapter.

•Secure the blade to the assembly with two hex bolts and lock nuts. Tighten the hex bolts to the recommended torque. Refer to ‘Blade Mounting Torque’ section on this page.

•Install the blade assembly on the crankshaft. See Figure 16. Secure with the hex bolt and bell washer (cupped side of washer to blade) and tighten to the recommended torque. Refer to ‘Blade Mounting Torque’ section on this page.

IMPORTANT:The bolt, used to secure the blade to the engine, is specially heat-treated. Do not substitute. To order replacement bolt, refer to the parts list in the back of this manual.

WARNING: To ensure safe operation of your lawn mower, check all nuts and bolts periodically and tighten if necessary.

To Sharpen Blade:

•The blade can be sharpened with a file or on a grinding wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen the blade while it is still on the mower.

•Follow the original angle of grind as a guide. Make sure that each cutting edge receives an equal amount of grinding to prevent an unbalanced blade.

NOTE: An unbalanced blade will cause excessive vibration when rotating at high speeds, may cause damage to the mower and could break, causing personal injury.

•The blade can be tested by balancing it on a round shaft screwdriver. See Figure 17. Remove metal from the heavy side until it balances evenly. It is recommended that the blade always be removed from the adapter for the best test of balance.
