blade to point toward the mower housing.
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 N⋅ ⋅ ⋅ m)
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.
