MAINTENANCE
It is a good practice to stop after 20 or 30 minutes
of running new teeth or cutterbodies in order to
retighten any loose nuts and bolts to their specified
torque.
NOTICE
CUTTERHEAD
• Always use cutterbody bolts supplied by Bandit or
a Bandit dealer. The cutterbody bolts are specially
made for this application. The use of any other bolts
will cause extensive damage to the machine and
will void the warranty.
• Do not allow the cutter tooth to wear beyond
useful life of carbide or wear material. Replace
immediately.
• The shank of the cutterbody holder bolt should
be 1/8” (3.2 mm) inside of the support arm (See
Figure 4). When clamping the cutterbody be sure
the nut does not bottom out.
• Always keep the cutterbody bolts torqued at 700
ft.-lbs. (649 Nm). Loose bolts can cause premature
wear to the cutterbody, cause the support arm to
crack, or form oblong holes on the support arm.
• Always keep cutter teeth torqued at 375 ft.-lbs.
(508 Nm). If using replaceable rakers: keep torqued
at 375 ft.-lbs. (508 Nm) (See Figure 1).
• Always keep Beast knives torqued at 420 ft.-lbs.
(569 Nm) (See Figure 2).
• Replace the support arm if the mounting holes
measure more than 1.042” (26.5 mm) in diameter
or if they are oblong (See Figure 3).
