Jaw Teeth Maintenance - Stanley Labounty MDP Series Safety, Operation & Maintenance

JAW TEETH MAINTENANCE

When the jaw teeth are worn or cracking, performance is decreased and the teeth need to be replaced. MDP
can have Swift-Lock Teeth or Weld-In Teeth, depending on model.
Wear personal protection equipment at all times. This
includes eye protection, hard hat, steel toe shoes,
leather gloves and hearing protection.
Replacing Swift-Lock Teeth (MDP 20/27/35/50)
1. Locate flat, hard ground and place the attachment on
the ground.
2. Remove the washers on each side of each tooth,
using a grinder.
Note: The washers are welded into place.
3. Use a soft metal drift and a mallet to drive out the
tooth pin.
4. Remove the tooth from the receptacle.
Note: The retainer ring may fall out when removing the
teeth. Do not lose the retainer ring.
5. Insert the retainer ring in its place and insert a new
Swift-Lock tooth.
6. Insert the tooth pin and weld the washers in place.
Note: insert the tooth pin so that the pin groove will line
up and seat in the retainer ring.
