Tooth Removal and Installation
DANGER:
Shut down and lock out power
from the excavator before removing and
installing any cutting teeth. Failure to do so
could result in serious injury or death.

3
Remove the bolt (1), washer (2), and tooth (3).
Use copper based anti-seize when reinstalling the bolts.
Torque to 240 ft.-lbs.
IMPORTANT
:
When a damaged tooth is replaced, the
tooth directly opposite (180 degrees)
must be replaced at the same time to
retain balance.
Tooth Sharpening (Planer and Hard
Surface Planer Only)
NOTE:
The teeth need to be kept sharp to maintain the
most effective operation of the attachment. Daily
inspection and touch up is recommended.
NOTE:
The teeth can either be removed from the
attachment or remain installed for sharpening.
WARNING:
Rotor must be stabilized to
prevent accidental rotation any time the rotor
is exposed for service work.
NOTE:
The cutter teeth have been heat treated to a
specific hardness. Care must be taken to avoid
overheating the leading edge of the tooth while
sharpening. If the coloring in the tooth changes
to either a blue or brown during the sharpening,
you have removed the temper and the tooth will
not hold it’s cutting edge.
NOTE:
When re-sharpening teeth using machine shop
equipment, avoid overheating the teeth by using
a flood coolant system.
NOTE:
When re-sharpening teeth using a hand grinder,
avoid overheating the tooth by lightly grinding
each tooth, moving across the entire row of
teeth before returning to the first tooth to repeat
the procedure.
NOTE:
Sharpen each tooth equally to maintain rotor
balance. Always return tooth to it’s original location
if it is removed from the rotor for sharpening.
Can be sharpened
up to this point.

Dashed lines represent
the approximate angle
for each time the tooth
is sharpened.
NOTE:
It is not necessary to match the factory angle on the
underside of the cutting edge when re-sharpening.
Sharpen each tooth at a slight angle for each
successive sharpening (represented by the dashed
lines shown in the illustration above). When the
cutting edge of the tooth is 1-1/8 in. from the back
side of the tooth, the tooth must be replaced.
