and remove the blade (2). Turn the bolt “COUNTERCLOCKWISE” to loosen

it and “CLOCKWISE” to tighten it.

• To re-install the blade, position the blade with the cutting edges toward the

ground. Assemble the bolt as shown.Torque the blade bolt down clockwise

using a torque wrench (not provided) to ensure the bolt is properly tightened.

The recommended torque for the blade bolt is 24-27 lb-ft (33-37 Nm).

NOTE: Be sure to replace the parts in the exact order in which they were

removed. When installing the cutting blade, verify that it is installed with the

curved ends pointing toward the mower deck, and not toward the ground.
