the blade driver.

stop.
2. Disconnect the
spark plug wire from the

onto the retaining post

Installing the Blade Driver
1. Insert the new
spacer into the blade
driver with the flat edge
(A) oriented as shown.
2. Install the blade driver onto the crankshaft without
allowing the key to go into the slot in the crankshaft.
3. Pull the belt around the pulley and rotate the
blade driver and the belt until the key aligns with the
slot in the crankshaft, then push the blade driver all
the way onto the crankshaft.
4. Install the blade and all blade mounting hardware.
Important: Install the blade so that the curved ends
point toward the mower.
Note: If the bolt does not thread in, the spacer is not
properly aligned. Align the spacer and push the blade
driver all the way onto the crankshaft.
5. Use a block of wood to hold the blade steady as
shown in the figure.
6. Use a torque wrench to tighten the blade bolt to
60 ft-lb (82 N⋅m).
Important: A bolt torqued to 60 ft-lb (82 Nm) is
very
tight. While holding the blade with a block of
wood, put your weight behind the ratchet or
wrench and tighten the bolt securely. This bolt is
very difficult to overtighten.
