Before attempting any adjustment, be sure that the engine
is shut off. The key, spark plugs, battery cable are
removed. And the engine cool to touch!
Teeth should be positioned in the pockets & tightened to
100 - 110 ft/lbs. torque
Teeth should be set using a tooth gauge so all teeth will be projecting the
same amount.
Teeth should be set as follows:
STR LH STR LH
RH STR RH

Caution: Never use the machine with missing teeth or badly worn teeth,
this will cause the cutter wheel to be out of balance & cause wear on
bearings & shaft.
The pockets are reversible, when turning, position them in the exact
location- this will ensure the cutter wheel remains in balance.
Teeth should be kept sharp.
Installation of Teeth
When installing teeth on the cutter wheel, be sure the teeth are all
extended to an equal length beyond the wheel. A tooth gauge is provided
for this.
