REPLACING CUTTING BLADES

See Figures 20 - 21.
WARNING:
Only use replacement blades and blade bolts authorized
by the manufacturer of your riding mower. Unauthorized
blades and/or blade bolts could break, allowing the blade
to come loose, resulting in possible serious personal
injury and damage to the mower.
NOTE: Make certain all parts are replaced in the exact order
in which they were removed.
 Make sure drive levers are in open position and blade
engage knob is down.
 Stop the motor, remove the start key, and set the parking
brake.
 Raise the height of the cutting deck to its highest position
to allow access to blades.
NOTE: If necessary, raise the mower by placing on a lift
or using a jack and jack stands, or remove the cutting
deck as described in the previous section to gain access
to the blades.
WARNING:
If raising the mower to access the blades, make sure the
mower is properly secured and the parking brake is set
before proceeding. Failure to properly secure the mower
could cause it to fall, resulting in death or possible serious
personal injury.
 Wedge a block of wood between the blade and mower
deck to prevent the blade from turning.
