Sharpening the Blades
1. Use a file to sharpen the cutting edge at both ends of
the blade (Fig. 41). Maintain the original angle. The
blade retains its balance if the same amount of
material is removed from both cutting edges.

2. Check the balance of the blade by putting it on a blade
balancer (Fig. 42). If the blade stays in a horizontal
position, the blade is balanced and can be used. If the
blade is not balanced, file some metal off the end of
the sail area only
(Fig. 40).
Repeat this procedure
until the blade is balanced.

2. Install the washer, lock washer and blade bolt
(Fig. 40).
Torque the blade bolt to 85–110 ft-lb
(115–140 N
