Installing
Blades
1. Remove blades and anti-scalp cups from
spindles. Save for use when side discharging.
2. Install new recycler blades without anti-scalp
cups.
IMPORTANT: The sail part of the blades
(i.e., the turned up section) must face the
inside of the mower.
3. Tighten the blade mounting bolts to 85–110 ft-lb
(115–150 Nm).
Installing
Baffles
Prepare the Mower
On most models, the holes needed for installing the
baffles are pre–drilled. Each hole is filled by a short
bolt and nut. However, some older models do not
have pre–drilled holes, and must be drilled before you
can install the baffles.

If there are no holes in the mower, drill them as
follows:
1. Place the left and right side baffles in the cutting
chamber with the extended lugs on the baffles
interlocked, then rotate the blades to ensure that
there is at least 1/8” of clearance between the
blades and the baffle.
Note: Some models may have hardware that
interferes with the baffles. If
interference occurs and you cannot
solve it by repositioning the baffles,
cut out the area of the baf
fles causing
the interference.
2. Mark the location of the 4 baffle mounting holes.
3. Drill (4) 11/32” holes at the marked locations in
the mower.
To determine whether you need to drill or not,
arrange the baffles in the mower as shown in
Figure 1. If a hole with a small bolt in it corresponds
to the holes in each baffle (Fig. 1), remove the short
bolts and nuts, saving them for future use, then
proceed to the next section.

Install the Baffles
1. Place (4) 5/16”–18 x 1–1/4” bolts into the deep
recessed holes in the left and right baffles.
Secure the bolts with (4) 5/16” locknuts in the
shallow recesses. Refer to Figures 2 and 3 for
correct assembly and hole usage.
Installation Instructions
3. Tighten all mounting hardware securely.
4. Rotate the blades to ensure that there is at least
1/8” clearance between the blades and baffles.

Installing
Kickers
Prepare the Mower
If you had to drill holes to install the baffles, you will
also need to drill holes for the kickers, as described in
this section. If you did not have to drill holes,
remove the short bolts from the holes where the
kickers will go (Fig. 4) and proceed to the next
section.
