      • The screw locks the wheel onto the motor shaft and only needs to be loosened, not completely removed!

      • Now, loosen the Allen screw with the 2mm Allen key.

      • Loosen the screw using the long end as a lever.

      • loosen (do not remove!) the screw from above until the wheel can be pulled off the motor shaft without any problems

      • Be careful when handling the wheel! If there is even a slight imbalance, bend, notch, or other damage, the wheel must be replaced. Otherwise, vibrations, whistling, and other disruptive noises will be the result!

      • If it is heavily soiled, clean the fins individually and carefully with cotton swabs.

      • Do not use any other materials, especially no metal objects! The fins are very sensitive.
