Tooth Removal and Installation
2 1
3
Note: Standard carbide tooth shown. Removal
procedure is the same for all tooth types.
Remove the bolt and washer (1 and 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 (Quadco tooth
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.
