In order to maximize the life and keep your Vitamix® product in good working order,
it is important that you follow a few simple maintenance tips:
1. Periodically inspect the drive socket for visible wear and tear, cracks, or
brakes to the socket. If damage is found, replace the drive socket with the
extra drive socket enclosed with your blender. To purchase additional
replacement drive sockets contact Vitamix at 1-800-437-4654 (1-800-4DRINK4)
for a dealer near you. For customers outside the U.S.A., contact your authorized
Vitamix Distributor, or call the Vitamix International Division at +1.440.782.2450 or
email [email protected] for a distributor near you.
2. Manually rotate the blade bearing assembly to make sure it turns without
hesitation or doesn’t spin too freely. If the blade hesitates or spins too freely,
contact Vitamix at 1-800-437-4654 (1-800-4DRINK4) for warranty information or
a dealer near you. For customers outside the U.S.A., contact your authorized
Vitamix Distributor, or call the Vitamix International Division at +1.440.782.2450
or email [email protected] for a distributor near you.
