5. 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.
Locate 9 blade attachment screws and
9 decorative nuts in one of the hardware
packs. Place blade arm on TOPSIDE of blade,
aligning holes in blade arm with holes in
blade as shown. With fingers, insert 3 blade
attachment screws from the TOPSIDE of
blade and 3 decorative nuts from
UNDERSIDE of blade, making sure to
completely insert each screw so that the
blade arm can be attached correctly. Repeat
procedure for remaining blades. Tighten all
screws securely with a Phillips screwdriver.
Remove 6 blade arm screws/washers from
top of motor. [WARNING: Do NOT remove
the 4 screws located on the rim of the top of
motor housing--doing so or any attempt at
doing so will void the warranty.] Align blade
arm holes with motor screw holes and
attach blade arm with blade arm
screws/washers. Before securing screws
permanently, repeat this procedure with
remaining blade arms. Secure all screws
with a Phillips screwdriver.
Note: Tighten blade arm screws twice a year.
