Blade Timing

To check the blade timing, disconnect the driveline at the tractor PTO. Open blade access covers and rotate
driveline until one blade bolt is visible. Check underside of the deck for the blade position of the rotor not visible
through the top access hole. The blade should be at 90° to the set with the blade bolt visible from the top. If
machine is correctly timed, blade sets will be at 90° to each other.
To change timing disconnect one shock coupler drive and rotate pan to proper location and reconnect shock
coupler drive.
