5. Tighten the cap screws progressively with a wrench. Tighten each cap screw partial
turns successively until both are tight. Final tightening should be done with torque
wrench with the torque set at 7.5 ft.-lbs. for each screw. Over tightening will cause the
cap screws to break or crack the blade. (Figure 4.7 on page 16)
6. Carefully turn the blade and check for clearance between the blade and shroud.
Confirm that the blade is free to rotate without hitting other parts.
7. Reinstall the front grille and test the blower.
8. If you have any trouble removing or installing the blade on your blower, contact the
factory for assistance at 800.346.2143.
