9. Blade Assembly.
Time Saver: Washers for blade screws can be
set on each blade screw prior to installing
blades.
Locate 15 blade attachment screws and
washers in hardware pack. Hold blade arm up
to blade and align holes. Insert 3 blade
attachment screws (along with washers) with
fingers first and then tighten screws securely
with Phillips screwdriver. Repeat procedure for
remaining blades.
Align blade arm holes with motor screw holes
and attach blade arm with lock washers and
blade arm screws that were previously
removed (page 4). Before securing screws
permanently, repeat this procedure with
remaining blade arms. Secure all screws.
Note: Tighten blade arm screws twice a year.
10. Switch Housing Assembly.
Remove 3 screws from fitter plate (on underside
of motor). Align holes in middle of switch
housing plate with holes in fitter plate, allowing
wire connectors from motor housing to come
through hole in middle of switch housing plate.
Re-insert screws that were previously removed
and tighten all 3 screws securely.
*Wrap each wire connector separately with
electrical tape as an extra safety measure.
Remove 4 screws from outer edge of switch
housing plate.
Align holes in switch housing with holes in
switch housing plate. Re-insert screws that were
just removed and securely tighten all 4 screws
with Phillips screwdriver.
