IMPORTANT: Replacement blades should be ordered in pairs. Order only genuine Land Pride blades. Other blades may not meet specifications.
IMPORTANT: Both blades should weigh the same with not more than 1 1/2 oz. difference.

3/4" maximum blade deflection when blade bolts are tight
!WARNING!
Always secure cutter deck in the up position with solid supports before servicing underside of cutter. Never work under equipment supported by hydraulic jacks. Hydraulic jacks can drop equipment if controls are actuated or if hydraulic lines burst. Either situation can drop the cutter instantly even when power to the hydraulic system is shut off.
IMPORTANT: Shim (#2) below may or may not be required. If blade deflection is less than 3/4" without a shim, then the shim is not used. However, a shim is required if blade deflection is greater than 3/4".
IMPORTANT: Locknuts can loose their ability to lock properly once removed. Therefore, always use a used blade nut or plain nut in steps 4 & 5 below and then replace used nut with new locknut in step 6.
4.Start by assembling blades without shim (#2). Insert blade bolt (#1) through blade (#3), dish pan (#4) and flat washer (#5). Temporarily secure blade with a used 1
5.Check blade deflection. If deflection is greater than 3/4", remove blade bolt and reassemble as before except include shim (#2) in the assembly. Select shim thickness based on deflection. The greater the deflection, the thicker the shim.
