Blade Removal And Installation

!CAUTION

Depending on blade rotation, bolts attaching mower blades to their respective spindles may be either left hand or right hand. Prevent spindle and/or bolt damage by knowing which hand the threads are before removing and/or tightening any blade mounting bolts.

Refer to Figure 5-2 & Figure 5-3:

1.Verify blade rotation and bolt thread type (right hand or left hand) before loosening center blade bolts and removing blades to be sharpened or replaced.

NOTE: Blade bolt on the left hand deck is right hand threads. Blade bolts on the right hand and center decks are left hand threads.

Refer to Figure 5-5,Model AFM4216 only:

The two outside blade bar bolts (#8) are always right hand threads.

Refer to Figure 5-4 & Figure 5-5:

2.Remove blades by grasping the blade end (#1) with a rag or thick padded glove while loosening the blade mounting bolt (#4).

3.Remove blade bolt (#4) and Washer (#5) from blade being replaced.

4.(Model AFM4216 Only.) Remove two outside bolts (#6) from blade bar (#2).

IMPORTANT: Replace blades with Land Pride blades only.

IMPORTANT: Always install blades with cutting edge facing direction of blade spindle rotation and with wing tips pointing up towards bottom of deck.

IMPORTANT: (AFM4216 ONLY) Loctite is not required if blade (#1) is removed without removing blade bar (#2). However, If blade bar (#2) is removed from spindle shaft (#3), then apply loctite 243 to exteranl spindle shaft threads and to center bolt threads (#4).

5.Reinstall blade (#1), blade washer (#5) and bolt (#4). Care should be taken when installing the blade bolt to not get it cross threaded and to know if the bolt is right hand or left hand. Do not exceed 55 ft.-lbs. of torque on bolt.

6.(Model AFM4216 Only.) Reinstall the two outside bolts. Tighten to correct torque listed in the Torque Values Chart in the “Appendix” section on page 43.
