To remove the blade(s) from the mower, lift one side of the mower up in the air and block it
securely. Wedge a block of wood between the blade and the mower deck housing of that blade
to prevent the spindle from rotating while the blade retaining bolt is removed. Loosen the blade
by turning the blade retaining bolt counterclockwise.
Make sure that the washer is not flattened or worn – use all of the hardware to re-
assemble the blade retainer that you removed from the blade from the mower!
To sharpen the blades – hold the blade securely in a vise – and use a large file along the
original blade bevel until it is sharp. The blade should be checked for balance by using a secure
horizontal rod. Slide the blade into the horizontal rod – if it rotates, file some material from the
side that goes down (the heavy side).
IMPORTANT – tighten the blade bolt retaining bolt to 85 – 90 ftlbs or (115 – 122 Nm)
when re-attaching!
5.3 Belt Replacement
IMPORTANT – there are two belts on the HyperCut Mower, the Deck Belt that operates the
spindle drives on the deck and the deck drive belt that drives from the clutch beneath the engine
to the deck drive pulley!
In order to change the belts – remove the mower from the ATV.
Replacement of the Deck Drive Belt – front to the rear of the mower.
Remove the deck drive shield on the mower deck.
Loosen the four engine plate retaining bolts and loosen the belt tension bolts at the rear of the
Power Unit.
Slide the engine plate forward to release belt tension and remove the belt. It can either be
removed from the pulley at the rear (under the engine) or can be removed from the front (the
driven pulley).
CAUTION
Belt tension bolts – clockwise for belt tension –
counter clock-wise for loosening.
To avoid personal injury, wear heavy
gloves when removing blades.
BLADES MAY BE SHARP!
Loosen the four engine plate
retaining bolts and loosen the
belt tension bolts at the rear of
the Power Unit.
