balancer (Fig. 30). 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. 28). Repeat this procedure until the

parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
3. Clean the grease fittings with a rag. Make sure to scrape
any paint off of the front of the fitting(s).

the fittings until grease begins to ooze out of the
bearings.
