STUMP GRINDER TOOTH REPLACEMENT

Replace teeth whenever they become damaged, bro-
ken, or excessively worn. Excessively worn cutting
edges greatly decrease cutting efficiency.
■ Never operate the stump grinder with missing
teeth.
1. Use a 15/16 socket wrench and remove the 5/8"
jam nuts as shown in Figure 6.
2. Remove hex nut from tooth and remove tooth.
3. When installing new teeth, torque the 5/8" jam nuts
to 170 lbs-ft (230 N-m).

SLIP CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT

The slip clutch is designed to slip so that the gear-
box and driveline are protected if the cutter strikes an
obstruction.
A new slip clutch or one that has been in storage over
the winter may seize. Before operating the grind-
er, make sure it will slip by performing the following
operation:
1. Turn off tractor engine and remove key.
2. Loosen eight 10 mm cap screws (6) to remove all
tension from pressure plate (5). Springs should ro-
tate freely.
3. Place a mark on edge of lining rings (3).
4. Hold flanged hub (4) solid and rotate driveline to
make sure clutch slips. Check marks on edge of lin-
ing rings to see if they have moved.
5. If clutch does not slip freely, disassemble and clean
surface of flanged hub (4), flange yoke (1), and
pressure plate (5).
6. Reassemble clutch.
7. Tighten springs (7) until they are compressed to the
1.26 inches shown in Figure 7.
8. If a clutch continues to slip when the springs are
compressed to the 1.26 inch dimension, check
lining rings (3) for excessive wear. Rings are 1/8"
when new. Replace rings after 1/32" wear to ensure
proper operation.
