BLADE CARRIER AND BLADES
The Frame sections are shipped from the factory without the Blades attached to the Blade Carrier to
prevent damage to Blades and Blade Carrier. Optional Flat or Fan Blades are available.

safely and securely blocked or latched in place.
The Blade Bolts must be tightened to 350 ft. lbs. torque before operating. NOTE: Blade Bolts have left-hand
threads.
To insure proper installation, check to see that Blade cutting surfaces are correct for counterclockwise
