Mower Blade Replacement
IMPORTANT: Refer to the Safety section of this manual for
blade handling safety information.
Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the
blade(s) or wear gloves and use extra caution
when servicing them.
A 15/16" wrench is required to remove the 5/8" cap screw
holding the blade to the spindle shaft. NOTE: A blade holding
tool (P/N 381442) is available from Hustler
It is designed to prevent the blades from rotating when they
are being removed or installed on the spindle. Contact your
Hustler Dealer for more information.

Do not re-use spindle bolts which have stripped, worn or
undercut threads. Torque bolts on spindles to 118 ft-lbs (160
N•m) when reinstalling blades.
Failure to correctly torque the bolt may result in
the loss of the blade which can cause serious
injury.
Properly compressed cup washers maintain the correct
compression load on the blades. Replace the cup washers if
they are cracked or flattened.
IMPORTANT: The blade sail (curved part) must be
pointing upward toward the inside of the deck to make sure
of proper cutting.
When mounting blades, rotate them after installation to
make sure blade tips do not touch each other or sides of the
mower.
