Shredder Blade Care
The shredder blade is sharp. Wear leather work gloves to protect your hands.
1.
Stop engine, disconnect spark
plug and make certain that all
moving parts have come to a
complete stop.
2.
Remove the two flange nuts (and
hex bolts) which secure the hopper
support bracket to the impeller
housing. Retain the hardware. See
Figure 9.
3.
Pivot the shredder screen upward
as instructed under the heading
Cleaning the Reduction Chamber.
4.
Remove six flange nuts which
secure hopper inlet guide to
impeller housing. See A in
Figure 10.
5.
Carefully separate the hopper
assembly from the impeller
housing and set it aside.
6.
Insert a piece of wood into the
chute deflector opening to
stabilize the impeller and prevent
it from rotating when removing
the shredder blade.
7.
Remove the two internal hex screws, hex lock nuts and lock washers which
secure the shredder blade to the impeller. See B in Figure 10.
NOTE: Use a 3/16-inch hex key (Allen) wrench on the outside of the shredder blade
and a 1/2-inch box (or socket) wrench on the inside of the shredder blade. Hold the
Allen wrench stationary and rotate the box (or socket) wrench to loosen the nut.
8.
Remove the hex bolt, lock washer and flat washer to completely free
shredder blade. See C in Figure 10.
IMPORTANT! If sharpening the blade for reuse, follow the original angle of grind as a
guide. Make certain each cutting edge receives an equal amount of grinding to prevent
an unbalanced blade. Remove metal from the heavy side until it is balanced evenly.
IMPORTANT! When reassembling the blade, tighten center bolt to between 45 ft-lbs
and 58 ft-lbs and the two outer bolts to between 20 ft-lbs and 25 ft-lbs.
