Installation Guide

Step 1

A. Scrape and clean shaft thoroughly (use emery tape). (Photo 1)

B. Use a dial caliper to determine where taper (if any) ends from propeller hub. (Cutter cannot be mounted over taper.) MUST BE CLAMPED ON STRAIGHT SHAFT. (Photo 2) For acceptable installation refer to Diagrams A, B & C here.

C. Also check shaft size. Shaft should measure .002 over nominal; metric or oriental should be ordered to exact .001.

D. In preparation for installation - disassemble cutter:

(1) Loosen stationary blade screws only 1/2 way out (screws #4 on Line and Net Cutter Assembly).

(2) Remove screws on rotating cutters.
