MAINTENANCE
HARDWARE
Most nuts and bolts will stay tight and therefore need only periodic checking. However, the following nuts and
bolts are extremely important and should receive special attention:
Spindle Housing Bolts: Tighten to 400 Ft./Lbs. Torque
Blade Bolts: Tighten to 400 Ft./Lbs. Torque
Blade Bar To Spindle Bolts: Tighten to 400 Ft./Lbs. Torque
Be certain to clamp or securely support the Spindle Housing and subassemblies to prevent
injuries to hands and feet due to inadvertent dropping or falling over.
Always wear safety glasses and gloves to prevent eye and hand injury when chiseling or
hammering on metal components. Hardened metal will chip unexpectedly.
An assembled spindle housing is qu ite heavy. Use a hoist or ge t he lp to han dle them safely.
Lift carefully and properly using your legs to lift - NOT YOUR BACK.
