# Troubleshooting Engine/Blower Unit Vibration

If you're experiencing excessive vibration in your engine/blower unit, there are several potential causes that should be checked immediately. For safety, always disconnect the spark plug wire before performing any inspection.

### **Common Causes and Solutions**

1. **Loose Impeller Bolt**
  - Disconnect spark plug wire
  - Look inside blower housing
  - Check if impeller bolt is securely fastened
  - Tighten if necessary
2. **Damaged Impeller Blade**
  - Disconnect spark plug wire
  - Inspect each blade through blower housing
  - Look for any signs of damage
  - Contact us for replacement if damage is found
3. **Impeller/Hub Separation**
  - Disconnect spark plug wire
  - Check center of impeller
  - All components should be concentric (like a bullseye):
    - Edge of impeller
    - Washers
    - Bolt
  - If not properly aligned, replacement is needed

### **Safety Note**

Always disconnect the spark plug wire before performing any inspection or maintenance on your Cyclone Rake.
