IMPORTANT: Time the blades properly during

reassembly. Set the cutting blades perpendicular

to each other during installation of the toothed

drive belt.There are arrows cast into the cogged

pulleys to help align the blades. Offset these

position. Blades are 90 degrees offset from the

arrow position.

tion and apply tension to the spindle housing

and cogged belt.

5.11. Tighten the adjustment bracket screw.

5.12. Tighten the four spindle mounting bolts to 15 ft.

lbs.

NOTE: Proper belt tension is achieved when the

point between the pulleys when applying moder-

ate finger pressure.
