REPLACING/REPAIRING<br />
Fuel Filter<br />
Model MT is equipped with an in-line fuel filter. Visually<br />
inspect the filter periodically, and replace the<br />
filter yearly.<br />

Fuel Filter<br />
Fuel Shut-Off Valve and Filter<br />
Blade Overload Shear Bolts<br />
NOTE: Shear bolts are not used on the DSD62<br />
mower deck.<br />
Fuel Filter Location<br />
IMPORTANT: Replace the fuel filter only in a clean<br />
area where the fuel line and connections will not be<br />
contaminated by any dust and dirt.<br />
The cutting blade is keyed to the blade hub by two<br />
(2) shear bolts (10-24 x 5/8 in. stainless steel machine<br />
screws). These bolts are designed to shear<br />
and protect the blade drive gearbox from damage if<br />
the blade encounters a shock load.<br />
DANGER<br />
Gasoline is extremely flammable and can<br />
be highly explosive. To minimize danger:<br />
• Use only an approved fuel container for<br />
gasoline.<br />
Cutting Blade<br />
Shear Bolts<br />
• DO NOT allow open flames or sparks<br />
near the machine while performing maintenance<br />
or refueling; DO NOT smoke<br />
while working with fuel.<br />
• Wipe up spilled gasoline immediately<br />
and completely.<br />
1. Close the fuel tank shut-off valve.<br />
2. Expand and slide clamps on either side of the<br />
filter away from filter and pull fuel lines off filter.<br />
3. Replace filter.<br />
4. Open fuel tank shut-off valve.<br />
Cutting Blade Shear Bolts<br />
NOTE: Tightening the 5/8-18 blade mounting nut<br />
to 60 ft-lb (81.3 N⋅m) is also important for proper<br />
shock load protection. It is important to not overtighten<br />
the mounting nut since this defeats (overrides)<br />
the function of the shear bolts.<br />
If these bolts shear, remove the blade and install new<br />
bolts. Refer to CHECKING/SERVICING in this section<br />
for Sharpen Mower Blades which describes the<br />
blade removal and installation procedure.<br />
