If the axle shows heavy wear at the location of the blades it must be replaced as well.
• Thoroughlycleanthebareaxle.Usesandpaperifnecessary.
• Checkbothbearingsforsignsofplay.Rotatingthebearingsaxleswillquicklyrevealanybea-
ring noise. If there is any, replace the bearings together with the blades.

c. Placement of the blade axle
• Oncethebladeaxleisreassembleditcanbereplacedintothechassis.
The bearing holders must be fitted on the inside of the chassis plate.

bearing holders can be secured tightly. If not, tick the axle tips with a plastic hammer while the
axle rotates. Once the axle rotates freely, the bearing holders can be fastened.
