Ledger Blades:
Each machine is equipped with a ledger (stationary) blade that acts as a shear for the moving rotor
blades.
The ledger blade is designed with 4 usable corners. When the corner facing the rotor blade rounds
over, remove the blade and re-install with a different corner facing the rotor blade. It is recommended
that the clearance between the rotor and stationary blades be set and maintained at 1/32 to 1/16 " (.76
- 1.52 mm) to obtain the best performance.

and the fuel valve is closed).

to the ledger mount, remove the blade.
3.
Rotate the blade and replace or replace with
new or re-sharpened blade.
4.
