Blade Agitator Assembly.
The blade assembly includes
a precision-hardened stainless steel blade with enclosed
steel ball bearings for maximum durability. The rugged
blade assembly literally explodes molecules of food and
ice in the container, helping every batch to homogenize
more effectively. The blade does not need to be removed
for normal cleaning. (Refer to the information below to
remove or replace.)
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. Order the available
Retainer Nut Wrench for best results. (Refer to the
information below to remove or replace.)
At times, it may be necessary to give your blades additional
cleaning. An easy-to-use blade assembly removal wrench (Item
#15596) may be purchased through your Vita-Mix Distributor.
Turn the container upside down and grip firmly. Insert retainer
nut wrench in groove of retainer nut and rotate counterclockwise
to loosen. Then grip blades with a cloth and remove retainer nut
by hand.
Replacing Blade Assembly
With the container upside down, grip blades with cloth, insert
into the container bottom and align with flat sides of container
opening. Place retainer nut on and hand tighten. Last, carefully
turn clockwise until secure, using wrench.
Do not force.
If it is
not tight enough, you will notice increased container noise.
