IMPORTANT: Chopper balance must be maintained. When replacing one broken blade, six blades must be replaced in the proper locations to maintain chopper balance.

For example:

If blade (A) is broken, adjacent blades (B) and (C) must be replaced, as well as corresponding blades (D), (E), and (F) on the opposite end of the rotor.

Replacement blades are sold in sets of six or enough to replace all blades.
