REPL

ACING THE WHEEL TIRE

Wheel tires must be replaced if they get worn out or

damaged. (If it is worn out, the blade will not track

straight on the wheels.)

Use a flat screwdriver to remove the tire from the groove

on the wheel, then install a new tire.

ADJUSTING/REPLACING THE WHEEL/BL

ADE BRUSHES

The lower wheel is equipped with a cleaning brush

that prevents pitch and sawdust build up on the lower

tire.

There is two other cleaning brushes – one in the lower

wheel cover and one in the upper wheel cover –

both mounted against the blade, that prevents pitch

and sawdust build up on the blade.

Any pitch and sawdust that builds up on the upper

wheel tire should be removed with a stiff brush or

scraped off with a piece of wood.

Note: To avoid damaging the tire do not use a sharp knife

or any kind of solvent to remove pitch build up.

Verify that the brushes keep the lower wheel/blade sur-

face clean at all times. With use and normal wear over

time, the brushes hairs will soften and will not clean the

surface of the wheel/blade as well.You then must lower

the brushes slightly as follows:

1. Loosen the hex bolt (or hex nut).

2. Slightly slide the brush along the mounting hole as

shown in , so that a fresh, stiffer part of the hairs

touches the wheel tire or blade.

3. Tighten the hex bolt (or hex nut) to lock the brush in

position.
