CUTTER WHEEL TORQUE SPECS
We recommend that the teeth and holders be inspected after every use to maximize the usable
life of these high wear items.
•
Cutter teeth have three sides and we recommend rotating them frequently to keep the cutting
edges sharp. A torque wrench should be used to torque these down to 25 ft. lbs. A worn and
unsharpened tooth will cause the holders to wear prematurely, resulting in poorer performance
and increased maintenance costs.
•
The holders should be inspected and torqued to 180 ft. lbs. using a torque wrench as well.
•
The nuts that fasten the axle and drive stubs on the cutter wheel together should be torqued to
55 ft. lbs. using a torque wrench.
