Shredding Hammer Rotation and Replacement

The cutting edges of the shredding hammers may eventually

wear out requiring rotation of the hammer or replacement if

all cutting edges have been dulled.

Triangular hammers can be rotated twice after the rst edge

dulls, then ipped over once and rotated again for a total of 6

edges. J-hammers can be ipped over once for a total of two

cutting edges.

To rotate the shredding hammers:

1. Turn the engine o and wait for all moving parts to stop.

2. Disconnect the spark plug wire and secure it away from

the spark plug. SEE FIGURE 12

3. Detach the rotor housing and hopper from the rotor

plate. SEE FIGURE 13

4. Note the assembly sequence of the hardware used

to secure the hammers. Using an 8mm allen wrench

remove the socket head cap screw (A) and related

hardware. SEE FIGURE 14

5. Inspect the hammers (C, G), spacer tubes (D, E), and

hardware. If the spacer tube (D, E) shows signs of wear,

replace it. Inspect and ip, or replace the hammers (G,

C).

6. Reassemble the hammers, spacers, washers, and cap

screws. Torque the socket head cap screws (A) to 30-35

ft. lbs. (41-47 N.m.) The J-hammer (G) on the opposite

side of the rotor faces outward for balanced rotation.

7. Repeat for all the hammers.
