cate with lithium based grease prior to re-assembly.

5. Install Blade (I) on upper plate pilot. Blades must be installed so
that rotation arrow on blade faces gear case. Secure blade with
Lower xing plate (J), and 10 mm nut (K). Turn nut counter-clock-
wise on PTO shaft to tighten.
6. Align hole in upper plate with notch in gear housing, and insert
Locking Tool (A) to prevent splined shaft from turning. Arrow on
gear housing points to notch. Tighten 10 mm nut securely.
7. Insert split pin (L) in hole in PTO shaft, and bend pin legs around
shaft counterclockwise to retain 10 mm nut.
IMPORTANT
Never reuse a split pin - install a new split pin each time a blade is
installed or replaced.
8. Remove locking tool.
