Slewing Ring
Check
1. Lower the cutter wheel to the ground.
2. Visually check the slewing ring.
3. Using the cutter boom, slowly raise and lower the rear
wheels while watching the slewing ring. Have your
machine serviced if any excessive movement is observed.
4. Check the torque on all mounting bolts to insure they
are tight. Set torque wrench to 40 ft-lbs (54.2 Nm) and
check each bolt.
Lubricate
Lubricate the grease fittings (1) on the Slewing Ring. ( there
should be a grease zerk on each side of ring)
Note: Ensure bearing is accepting grease, if not remove
grease zerk and clear grease port.
Cutting Wheel Belt - Check &
Adjust Tension
Using a belt gauge, check the Belt tension by depressing
the Belt at the center of the span.
1. Remove the Belt guard cover (2). The cutting wheel
must be free to rotate (eg. not resting on ground).
• The belt should deflect 3/8”-1/2” when 20 lbs. force
is applied.
• Use 20 lbs. at 3/8” deflection when installing a new
belt. After approximately 5-10 hours it will begin to seat
in and drop down into the 12-15 lbs. range at 1/2”
deflection. If the tension is acceptable, ignore steps 2-7.
If the tension is too low, follow steps 2-7. If Tension is
too low
