Maintenance
Belt Adjustment (Cont’d)
Loosen the jam nut (3).
Turn the hex nut (4) to either increase or decrease belt
tension. Tighten jam nut (3) to lock.
Belt should move no more than 3/8 in. (9.5 mm) to the
left, and no more than 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) to the right when
pressure applied at the midpoint.
Retighten overhung load adapter support bolts, and the
four motor mount bolts.
Tooth Removal and Installation
Quadco Teeth
Remove the bolt and washer (1 and 2) and tooth (3).
Use copper based anti-seize when reinstalling the bolts.
Torque to 240 ft.-lbs.
IMPORTANT: When a damaged tooth is replaced, the
tooth directly opposite (180 degrees)
must be replaced at the same time to
retain balance.
Tooth Sharpening (Quadco)
NOTE: The teeth need to be kept sharp to maintain the
most effective operation of the attachment. Daily
inspection and touch up is recommended.
NOTE: The teeth can either be removed from the
attachment or remain installed for sharpening.
WARNING: Rotor must be stabilized to
prevent accidental rotation any time the
rotor is exposed for service work
.
NOTE: The Quadco cutter teeth have been heat treated
to a specific hardness. Care must be taken to
avoid overheating the leading edge of the tooth
while sharpening. If the coloring in the tooth
changes to either a blue or brown during the
sharpening, you have removed the temper and
the tooth will not hold it’s cutting edge.
NOTE: When re-sharpening teeth using machine shop
equipment, avoid overheating the teeth by using
a flood coolant system.
NOTE: When re-sharpening teeth using a hand grinder,
avoid overheating the tooth by lightly grinding
each tooth, moving across the entire row of
teeth before returning to the first tooth to repeat
the procedure.
NOTE: Sharpen each tooth equally to maintain rotor
balance. Always return tooth to it’s original
location if it is removed from the rotor for
sharpening.
