    10 foot blade problem

    I have 2 new 10 foot blades. I am having a problem with the starboard side not seating in place when in full up. The arms are fully up but the spike sticks out and moves around when on pad. No problem with the port side. I have bleed them multiple tome with no change. Any ideas out there.

    Mine did this when I tightened everything up. Turns out your only supposed to tighten the first pivot and leave the rest only having one thread past the nut. So I loosened mine up a tad and then it seated correctly.

    I did check nuts and bolts. No problem there. I thank the spike may be bent or the pivot knuckle has a problem. Going to call PP Monday.
