STEP 12: (SEE FIGURE 26)

•Place the end of the blade pivot rod down through the blade pivot shaft. Attach the other end of the blade pivot rod to the lift handle tube. Secure both ends with a hairpin cotter (O). The holes for the hairpin cotters should be parallel to the ground.

•Use the two plastic ties to hold the cable securely to the outside of the handle tube and away from the tractor to avoid direct heat from the tractor muffler.

•Squeeze the grip assembly to check blade pivot. To adjust, see Service & Adjustments section on p. 16.
