should be removed and cleaned. Remove the fuel tank filler cap and the filter, clean the

Replacing Blades
Sharpen or replace the blades as soon as the chipping performance begins to deteriorate,
or if you notice dings, chips, or cracks.
To perform this procedure:
1. TURN
OFF
THE MACHINE, ALLOW ALL MOVING PARTS TO COME TO A
COMPLETE STOP, AND DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG WIRE!
2. Remove the side cover plate to expose the blades. (See
Pic.21
)
3. Remove one blade, rotate the impeller, and remove the second blade.
4. Have the original blades professionally sharpened, or order a replacement set, then
re-install the blades.
5. Replace the side cover plate and re-attach the spark plug wire.
