REPLACING BEAST CUTTER TEETH
Whenever servicing the cutterhead area, ALWAYS
look for cracked welds and / or excessive wear on the
support arms. Cracks and worn support arms could
cause a cutterbody to come off the cutterhead. This
will cause major damage to your machine.
ALWAYS use Bandit replacement parts. Failure to
do so may cause major damage to your machine.
WARNING

DANGER

NOTICE
Tooth life depends on the amount of abrasive materials and contaminates in the raw material, the amount
of production being processed, and how fine the end product is. As a general rule we suggest that you change
your worst 6 teeth daily if they need it or not. You can use these teeth for future running if some may break
or go bad. Changing the six worst teeth will keep your cutterhead operating well. Contact your local dealer
or Bandit Industries for further questions.
