Nope.. I looked at it again... Here's a cut and paste...

❏ 4B. If you are installing the optional rotor cone, press it
onto the fan rotor as shown.

Then they talk about cutting away a portion of the aft cone for cooling....
Do you have one of these?

I have several... I can GUARANTEE you that it is NOT optional.

The blunt front of the assembly degrades air flow by over 50%! if the cone is not installed.
