Assembly Instructions
Check Free Vertical Movement of Blades
Refer to Figure 5:
The cutting blades should not have more than 3/4" free
vertical movement at the blade tips. If vertical movement
exceeds 3/4", install or change to thicker spacers (#3)
following steps 1 through 5.
Order spacers (#3) and locknuts (#7) from your nearest
Land Pride Dealer.
IMPORTANT: Read “Safety Information” on page 1
before disassembling the shredder blades.
IMPORTANT: Locknuts can lose their ability to lock
properly once removed. Always use a plain
throwaway nut during pre-assembly of spacers.
IMPORTANT: Spacers (#3) are not required if
vertical movement at blade tip is 3/4" or less without
spacers. However, spacers are required if vertical
movement at blade tip is greater than 3/4". This is
particularly important when using fixed blades.
1.
Check blade deflection. If vertical deflection at the
blade tip is greater than 3/4", remove blade bolt (#6)
and reassemble using thicker spacers (#3). Select
spacer thickness based on deflection. The greater
the deflection, the thicker the spacer required.
2.
Assemble blades by inserting 1"-8 x 4 1/2" GR8 hex
head bolt (#6) through blade bushing (#4),
spacer (#3), lower cutting blade (#8 or #10), blade
carrier (#5), upper flat cutting blade (#9), spacer (#3)
and blade bushings (#4). Temporary secure blade
with a plain hex nut (Plain hex nut furnished by
customer.) Draw nut up snug. Do not tighten.
3.
Check blade deflection. If deflection at the blade tips
are greater than 3/4", remove blade bolt and
reassemble as before with thicker spacers.
4.
Once blade deflection is correct, replace plain nut
with supplied locknut (#7) & torque to 450 ft-lbs.
5.
Repeat "Check Free Vertical Movement of Blades"
instructions for the remaining shredder blade
assemblies.
