1. Remove the tension. Loosen the adjusting nuts on both sides and
turn them out until they are flush with ends of the pivot arm
(Fig. 1) or release pressure from air/nitrogen control unit. This
releases the tension of the blade on the belt.
2. Remove the worn blade cartridge. Remove two bolts on each end of
cartridge and remove the cartridge from the pole (Fig. 2). Clean all
fugitive material from the pole.
NOTE:
If cartridge is hard to remove use a screwdriver or hammer to
loosen it and then remove.
