4. Remove the hex flange nut that
secures the blade to the spindle.
IMPORTANT: The hex flange nuts have
a right-handed (normal) thread pattern.
Do NOT attempt to force the nuts in the
opposite direction. Doing so may damage
the nuts.
5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 on the other
cutting blades.
6. Replace the blades with the blades
included in the kit. Be sure to install
each blade with the side marked
‘‘Bottom’’ (or with a part number
stamped in it) facing the ground
when the mower is in the operating
position.
IMPORTANT: Use a torque wrench to
tighten each blade spindle’s hex flange
nut to between 80 ft-lb and 100 ft-lb.
