8. Blade Assembly.
Time Saver: Washers for blade screws can be set on
each blade screw prior to installing blades.
Locate 12 blade attachment screws and washers and
12 wing 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. [Be sure to note label on
blade indicating THIS SIDE UP and turn blade so that
label faces up.] With fingers, insert 3 blade attachment
screws (along with washers) from the TOPSIDE of blade
and 3 wing 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.
Remove blade arm screws and lock washers from
underside of motor. [WARNING: Do NOT remove the 4
screws located on the inner rim of the underside of the
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 lock
washers and blade arm screws. Before securing screws
permanently, repeat this procedure with remaining
blade arms. Secure all screws.
Note: Tighten blade arm screws twice a year.
9. Switch Housing Assembly.
Remove 1 screw (next to red dot) from motor
plate on underside of motor and partially loosen
the other 2 screws.
Align red dot inside switch housing with red dot
on motor plate. Align slotted holes in center of
switch housing with loosened screws in motor
plate, allowing male plug from motor housing to
come through hole in middle of switch housing.
Twist switch housing to lock. Re-insert screw that
was previously removed and securely tighten all
screws with Phillips screwdriver.
Connect male plug from motor housing to female
plug from switch housing. Be sure that the plugs
connect completely.
