adjacent blade (I.E., the blades do not need to be
"timed" nor synchronized).
Hi-lift- These are generally the best cutting blades
for most grasses and mowing conditions. These
blades will provide extra "lift" for the thinner leaf
grasses, will handle lush grasses, and will provide
maximum grass and debris discharge. These blades
are generally required for material collection sys-
tems. More horsepower is required for these blades
when compared to others, and they generally pro-
duce the highest noise levels.
Medium-lift- These blades require less horsepower
than the hi-lift, and they generally work well in wider
leaf grasses and some mulch applications.
Low-lift- These blades require less horsepower than
hi-lift and medium-lift blades, and they generally work
best with wide leaf grasses, sparse grass growth,
and sandy soil conditions. They generally produce
the lowest noise levels. Bahia blades are configured
without offset, and with a maximum amount of sharp-
ened cutting edge.
Mulch- These blades are generally designed for use
in cutting decks equipped with mulch baffles. The
shape of the blade generally produces higher turbu-
lence in order that the grass can be repeatedly cut
and re-cut into smaller pieces. These blades gener-
ally require more horsepower than other blades.
Mulch blades work best when the grasses are cut at
the highest levels, minimal lengths of grasses are
removed, and grass conditions are generally dry.

MAINTENANCE AND
SERVICE
Disconnect the spark plug wires or remove the
key from the ignition to prevent the engine
from accidentally starting before performing
any maintenance on this mower.
A. Mower Deck
1. Removing the Mower Deck:
a. Apply the parking brake. Remove ignition
key and both spark plug caps.
b. Lower the cutter deck to the ground. Cap-
ture the foot pedal by placing the height of
cut clevis pin in the "lock" position.
c. Remove tension of the PTO belt by moving
the belt tensioning rod.
Note:
There is a certain amount of spring
tension due to the weight of the deck. When
removing the lift linkage from the deck the ten-
sion of the springs will go from the deck to the
foot pedal. Not capturing the foot pedal while
removing the lift linkage from the deck will
cause it to snap back.
d. Detach the mower drive belt.
e. Remove six linchpins (See Fig. 6) (4) from
the deck and (2) from the front of the
mower. Remove the linchpins on the left
and right rear side of the cutter deck (2);
