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 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 a Phillips
screwdriver. Repeat for the remaining blades.
Locate blade arm screws and lock washers that
were previously removed on page 4. Align blade
arm holes with motor screw holes and attach
blade arm with lock washers and blade arm
screws. Before securing screws permanently,
repeat with remaining blade arms. Securely
tighten all screws.
Note: Tighten blade arm screws twice a year.
9. Switch Housing Assembly.
Remove 3 screws from outer edge of switch housing
plate (save screws for later use).
Remove 1 screw from fitter plate on underside of
motor and partially loosen the other 2 screws. Align
slotted holes in center of switch housing plate with
loosened screws in fitter plate, allowing male plug
from motor housing to come through hole in
middle of switch housing plate. Twist switch
housing plate to lock. Re-insert screw that was
removed and secure all screws.
Connect male plug from motor housing to female
plug from switch housing. Make sure plugs connect
tightly.
Align holes in switch housing with holes in switch
housing plate. Re-insert screws that were previously
removed and use a Phillips screwdriver to secure all
screws.
