Never use a blade assembly with loose, damaged or nicked components.
CAUTION: Do not remove blades unless absolutely necessary! Never
attempt to take the blade assembly itself apart. This will void the warranty.
Blade Assembly Removal
At times, it may be necessary to give your blades additional
cleaning. An easy-to-use blade assembly removal wrench (Item
#15596) may be purchased through your Vita-Mix Distributor.
Turn the container upside down and grip firmly. Insert retainer
nut wrench in groove of retainer nut and rotate counterclockwise
to loosen. Then grip blades with a cloth and remove
retainer nut by hand.
Replacing Blade Assembly. With the container upside down,
grip blades with cloth, insert into the container bottom and align
with flat sides of container opening. Place retainer nut on and
hand tighten. Last, carefully turn clockwise until secure, using
wrench. DO NOT FORCE. If it is not tight enough, you will
notice increased container noise.
Blade Agitator Assembly. The blade assembly includes
a precision-hardened stainless steel blade with enclosed
steel ball bearings for maximum durability. The rugged
blade assembly literally explodes molecules of food and
ice in the container, helping every batch to homogenize
more effectively. The blade does not need to be removed
for normal cleaning. (Refer to the information below to
remove or replace.)
Drive Spline. Mates with drive socket on the motor base
to turn the blade. NOTE: Removing and replacing your
container while the coupling is still rotating will strip the
drive spline "teeth." (This part is NOT removable.)
Retainer Nut. Must be snug. Order the available Retainer
Nut Wrench for best results. (Refer to the information
below to remove or replace.)
