1. Set the tractor deck height to its highest position.

NOTE: If too much resistance is felt while turning the blade then
the spindle is rotating, the blade is not properly aligned on the
blade adapter, and installation will not be successful.
6. There will be an audible click when the blade is properly
locked in place (Figure 50).
