Replacing Cutter Wheel Bearings

Place Poly Chain
®
sprocket and tapered
bushing back onto cutter wheel shaft and
tighten bolts. Replace Poly Chain
®
belt.
Alignment is very important, use a
straight edge from the jackshaft sprocket
down to the cutter wheel sprocket to line
up sprockets.

There are two setscrews in each bearing.
Tighten one of them down, remove one, and
punch a start point in the shaft to drill a 5/16”
diameter hole just deep enough for the screw
to enter the shaft. Do this for all four
setscrews. This will help prevent shaft from
spinning and walking inside of bearing.
When putting setscrew in bearing, use
LocTite
®
242 to prevent screw from
loosening up.
NOTE: Refer to
SERVICING BELTS section for proper installation and tensioning of all belts.

Replace Poly Chain
®
guard cover and
bottom guard. Tighten bolts.
DO NOT RUN MACHINE WITHOUT
ALL GUARDS IN PLACE AND
SECURED PROPERLY.
