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.
