in the Clean Grass Build-Up Under Deck
section.
2. Inspect blades and sharpen or replace as
required.

the following order:
A. Install blade bolt through washer, spacers,
and blade in same order as removed to
maintain desired cutting height.

components used to retain the blade can be
dangerous. Failure to use all original
