Assembling The Blade - Exmark LAZER Z CT Operator And Parts Manual

3.2 ASSEMBLING THE BLADE

1. Lift and rotate the channel assembly (Fig. 1) so that the holes align with the lower blade
mounts.
2. Slide the rod through the holes and secure it with two cotter pins (1 in.) (Fig. 1).
NOTE: If you have difficulty sliding the rod through the holes, partially remove the upper rod
and use a hammer to drive the rod through. Then install the upper rod.
3. Bend the ends of the cotter pins to secure the rod.
4. Attach the skids to the blade with 4 carriage bolts (3/8 X 1 in.), flat washers (3/8 in.) (Fig. 2).
Position the skids according to what type of surface you will be plowing. Position the skids
lower for plowing rough surfaces or higher for plowing smoother surfaces.
5. Apply general purpose grease to the pivot area of the frame and channel (Fig. 3).
6. Slide the blade channel assembly between the frame mount and secure it with a bolt (3/4 x
3-3/4 in.) and locknut (3/4 in.) (Fig. 3).
NOTE: Do not tighten the nut and bolt excessively, thereby causing binding on the channel
weldment as it pivots from side to side.
7. Connect the index lever to the angle pin with a cotter pin (1/8 x 1-1/2 in.) (Fig. 3).
8. Attach the index lever to the frame assembly with a bolt (1/4 x 2 in.) and locknut (1/4 in.)
(Fig. 3).
