BLADE REMOVAL
(See FIGURE 20.1)
Disconnect spark plug wire before working on unit!
Use Jack Stands or ramps to lift the Cutter off of the ground. Chock the wheels to prevent the Cutter
from moving.
Using the 1-1/8” wrench loosen the Nut 2 on the top of the Stump Jumper 1 . After loose, hold nut in
place with wrench.
Using the 1-1/8” wrench/socket remove the Bolt 5 from the Stump Jumper 1 . The Blade 4 should
come off along with the Bolt 5 and Washer 3 . Ensure no body parts are under the Blade to avoid
possible injury.
Repeat steps for both blades.
BLADE INSTALLATION
(See FIGURE 20.1) **Apply Blue Thread Locking Compound to all Threads**
Hold new/sharpened blade 4 and washer 3 up to Stump Jumper 1 and thread the Bolt 5 into the
tapped hole in the Stumper Jumper 1 .
Tighten the Bolt until snug. Back off ¼ turn to allow the Swing Blade to pivot freely around the Bolt.
Hold Bolt with one 1 1/8” wrench and thread the Lock Nut 2 onto to Bolt and tighten securely against
the top of the Stump Jumper using second 1 1/8” wrench. Torque to 150 ft.lbs.
Check that Bolt feels tight and that the blade can pivot freely around the Bolt.
Repeat steps for both blades.
Wear gloves when handling the blades and when using tools around the
blades. Always be aware of the sharp edges of blades. Use caution when
