Use a torque
wrench set to
torque to
120ft-lbs (163Nm).
DO NOT
over-
torque as you
could strip the
threads and allow
it to become loose.
The majority of
cutting will be
done with the
tooth’s two outside
leading points.
When these points
are worn down to
roughly 60% from
sharpening or
wear, the tooth can
be rotated 180
o
in
its tooth holder to
expose the fresh
points.
Lightly sharpen the
inside leading edge
of the tooth with a
4-1/2” (114mm) angle
grinder, equipped
with a flap style-
sanding disc.
DO NOT
use a hard
grinding disc. A
hard grinding disc
will rapidly wear
away the hardened
outer surface of
the tooth.
If the tooth will
no longer take an
edge, you will need
to replace it.
Remove the bolts
and flat washers.
Replace the tooth.
Using new
hardware, hand-
thread the bolts/
washers or use an
impact wrench set
on low.
DO NOT
use
Loctite. Use a
torque wrench set
to torque to
120ft-lbs (163Nm).
DO NOT
over-
torque as your
could strip the
threads and allow
it to become loose.
