Sharpening of Teeth
Do not allow any tooth to wear too much before sharpening. Discard any tooth that has lost more than
3mm of original bite.
The teeth must be removed from the cutting wheel for proper sharpening.
NOTICE
Sharpening silver soldered carbide cutting teeth requires a special process. Have your
teeth sharpened only by a qualified machinist for obtaining a proper edge and to avoid
injury.
Tooth Sharpening Guidelines
1. Obtain an unused tooth for comparison.
2. Discard any tooth that has lost more than
3mm of original bite, whether through
usage or grinding.
3. Grind off minimal amount from the end, just
enough to restore the original taper and
radius on the end. The end of the soldered
carbide tip and the end of the steel shank
should be flush after grinding.
4. Broken carbide tips can be replaced using
silver solder. Follow point 3 after soldering
new tips.

Cutting Wheel Bearings
Lubricate
Lubricate two fittings (one on each cutting wheel
bearing).
NOTICE
Pump grease in slowly, and carefully, to prevent damage to the bearing seals. Use extreme
caution when using a high pressure or high volume grease gun.
Walk-Around Inspection
1. Inspect and remove any chip or residue build-up in and around the engine.
2. Be sure covers and guards are firmly in place. Inspect for damage.
3. Inspect tyres and rims for damage and inflation. Maintain inflation (max 20psi). Replace worn tyres.
4. Inspect belts for wear. Replace if frayed or cracked.
