NOTE: On all units the built-in thermal sensor keeps track of how hot the
motor gets and will warn the user and eventually shut down the motor if the
motor is overheating. When overheated the display will instruct the user to
remove the container and run the machine until cool. This takes about a
minute. See page 23 “Cooling the motor” for complete instructions.
When overheating occurs, review your techniques and instructions. The
motor may be getting hot when your recipes are too thick. Consider adding
more liquid or consult Vita-Mix for further assistance.
Retainer Nut Removal
• The retainer nut is easily removed using a
15 cm screwdriver.* Turn container upside
down and insert screwdriver shaft between
the lobe and drive spline. Push the screwdriver
handle counterclockwise to loosen nut. Once
loosened, remove by hand.
• To replace, position retainer nut on top of
blade assembly and hand tighten. Then, using
the screwdriver, tighten clockwise until it
stops. If it is not tight enough, you will notice
increased container noise.
*For best results we
recommend using a
Retainer Nut Wrench
in place of a screwdriver.

Blade Agitator Assembly. Use caution when
handling the blade; it is sharp. When inserting the
blade assembly through the container bottom, grip
the blades with a soft cloth, align the flat sides of the
blade assembly with the flat sides of the container.
Place the retainer nut back on the inserted blade
assembly and tighten clockwise. Do not force. Do
not attempt to disassemble blade assembly.
Drive Spline. Mates with drive socket on the motor
base to turn the blade. NOTE: Removing and
replacing your container while the coupling is still
rotating will strip the drive spline “teeth”. (This part
is NOT removable.)
Retainer Nut. Must be snug. Use the available
retainer nut wrench for best results. (Refer to the
diagram below to remove or replace.)
