2. Blade Removal:
   • Secure the blade from turning (e.g., with a block of wood or blade removal tool).
   • Loosen and remove the blade nut and washer.
   • Carefully remove the old blade. Repeat for all blades.

   • Reconnect the spark plug wire.
   • Test the mower in a safe, open area to ensure proper operation and cutting performance.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance extends the life of your deck components and ensures optimal cutting performance.

• Spindle Lubrication: The spindles in this kit feature grease fittings (zerk fittings). Lubricate the spindles with appropriate grease every 25 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first.
• Blade Sharpening/Replacement: Inspect blades regularly for sharpness and damage. Sharpen dull blades or replace bent/damaged blades to maintain cutting quality and prevent excessive vibration.
• Belt Inspection: Check the deck belt for cracks, fraying, or excessive wear. Replace the belt if any damage is observed or if it shows signs of slipping.
• Deck Cleaning: Clean the underside of the mower deck after each use to prevent grass buildup, which can affect cutting performance and promote rust.
• Bolt Tightness: Periodically check all mounting bolts for the spindles and blades to ensure they are securely tightened to the manufacturer's specifications.
