Inspecting the Rotor
Blades
Before each season, inspect the rotor blades for
wear. When a rotor blade edge has worn down to the
wear indicator hole (A), have an Authorized Service
Dealer replace both rotor blades and the scraper.
Inspecting the Scraper
Before each season, inspect the scraper for wear. If
the thickness from the top of the wear indicator
groove to the bottom of the scraper (A) is less than
1/16 inch (1.6 mm) or there is no longer a wear
indicator groove, replace the scraper.
