5. Install Blade (I) on upper plate pilot. Blades must be installed so
that rotation arrow on blade faces gear case. Secure blade with
Lower fixing plate (J), and 10 mm nut (K). Turn nut counter-clock-
wise on PTO shaft to tighten.

shaft counterclockwise to retain 10 mm nut.

Never reuse a split pin - install a new split pin each time a blade is
installed or replaced.
