BLADE REPLACEMENT
1. Remove blade assembly from unit.
2. Once blade assembly is out, starting at the left side of the assembly remove the 2-bolt
flanged bearing and then loosen 1” nut and remove.
3. At this time, it is very important that you look at the arrangement of the blades and how
they are aligned on the shaft before removing.
4. Remove all blades and spacers from the shaft.
5. Now the new blades can be installed on shaft. Make sure that the small hole on the
blade is rotated one turn each time to rotate blade as per drawing above. Note: Make
sure the rotations of the blades are going forward with the unit.
6. After blades and spacers have been installed on the shaft and before tightening down
locknut, you should use a liquid locktite on the threads to ensure nut from backing off.
7. Place blade assembly back on unit and secure. When engaging, always test blade
alignment at very low rpm.
