Blade Installation - IBEX TS51C Assembly Manual

ASSEMBLY GUIDE

BLADE INSTALLATION

The six cutting blades that come with the mower are installed and changed with the blade
change tool. The blade change tool is stored on the top of the spring arm that connects the 3
point hitch to the drum unit, shown here fully assembled.
Figure 10 blade tool
To install a blade, position the blade change tool so that the two identical prongs are inserted
between the two discs of the drum, as seen in Figure 11. Raise the arm so that the pin of the
tool inserts into the slot on the upper disc. Pivot the tool up until there is sufficient clearance,
install the blade, and let the tool arm down. Be sure to install the blade so that the angled
edges are sloped downward.
The drum unit may need to be raised higher in order to have enough clearance to angle the
tool so that the two prongs fit below the upper disc. Once installed, be sure the blade is on the
pin and swings freely.
For safety purposes, never place your hand or fingers inside the opened space between the
discs.
