Blade Assembly

Blade Agitator Assembly: The blade assembly includes a precision-hardened
stainless steel blade with enclosed double sealed steel ball bearings for maximum
durability. The rugged blade assembly literally explodes molecules of food and ice
in the container, helping every batch to homogenize more effectively. The blades
do not need to be removed for normal cleaning.
Drive Spline: Inserts into drive socket on the motor base to turn the blade. Note:
Removing and replacing your container while the drive socket is still rotating will
strip the drive spline "teeth." (This part is NOT removable.)
Retainer Nut: Must be tight.
