MAINTENANCE - CLEAN CUTTER

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Inspect clean cutter saw before each use. Re-torque spindle bolts in an alternating pattern to 204 ft-lbs. Check for loose, broken, chipped, dull or missing teeth. Tighten all loose tooth assemblies by hammer and or replacing rivets. If teeth tips are broken, chipped, or missing, replace tip or replace entire tooth assembly. NEVER RUN SAW BLADE WITH MISSING TOOTH ASSEMBLY. If saw blade is cracked, becomes bent or wobbles in excess of two (2) inches while the tractor is idling, STOP, remove blade and have it repaired at an approved service center. Call Tiger Service Department for replacement parts and service.

These saw blades are pre-tensioned after the tooth assemblies are riveted in place. This pre-tensioning ensures that the blade runs true and remains true under normal cutting load. Removal of more than one or two complete tooth assemblies at a time may effect the tensioning of the blade. Before cutting always check for wobble while machine is running at idle. If blade wobbles in excess of two (2) inches, STOP, remove blade and have it repaired at an approved service center. The teeth tips can be replaced without removing the tooth bodies from the saw blade (see TIP REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE). This method is preferred over the entire removal of tooth assemblies.

Check adapter and collar every time saw is changed, maintain the .004 to

.006 inch taper (see figure below) on inside face (surface against saw blade) of these two (2) items. Always clean inside face of adapter and collar before mounting the blade. If adapter or collars are worn, chipped, or damaged, they must be replaced.

Any saw blade (regardless of condition) that has seen regular use should be serviced at least once a year at an approved service center.

Spare saw blades should be stored in a dry environment and transported only on the wooden crates that are supplied with the saw blade.
