10. Push the top 2 bolts down, toward the front of blower,
until the blower liner conforms to the inside of the
blower (Fig. 41). This will provide clearance between
the impeller and the liner.
11. Rotate the blower pulley to verify that the blower fan
does not hit the liner (Fig. 41). Adjust the liner if
necessary.
12. Tighten the 2 top bolts in the liner and the blower
(Fig. 41).

Inspecting the Mower Blades
and Baffles
1. Inspect the mower blades and baffles regularly and
whenever a blade strikes a foreign object.
2. If blades or baffles are badly worn or damaged, install
new blades or baffles. Refer to your mower operator's
manual for complete blade maintenance.
Installing Mower Blades
Note: In most mowing conditions, improved bagging
performance can be achieved by using bagging blades
(high lift). Contact an Authorized Service Dealer for the
proper blades for different mowing conditions.
