Retainer Nut Removal
• The retainer nut is easily removed using a
standard 6” 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.
To order ask for item #1222
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.)
Never use a blade assembly with loose, damaged or knicked components.
