8. Blade Assembly.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious bodily
injury,
DO NOT use power tools to assemble
the blades. If overtightened, blades may crack
and break.
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 one of the hardware packs. 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 a Phillips screwdriver.
Repeat procedure for the remaining blades.
Remove blade arm screws/lock washers from
underside of motor and locate the others
needed in one of the hardware packs. If plastic
motor locks are installed with blade arm
screws, discard plastic motor locks (save blade
arm screws/lock washers to secure blade arms).
Align blade arm holes with motor screw holes
and attach blade arm with blade arm
screws/lock washers. Before securing screws
permanently, repeat procedure with
remaining blade arms. Secure all screws.
Note: Tighten blade arm screws twice a year.
9. Switch Housing Assembly.
Partially loosen 3 screws in fitter plate on
underside of motor.
Connect male plug from motor housing to
female plug from switch housing, matching
up the colors on the male plug with the colors
on the female plug for correct fit. Make sure
plugs connect tightly.
Align slotted holes in switch housing with
loosened screws in fitter plate. Twist switch
housing to lock. Secure all screws with a
Phillips screwdriver.
