Due to the high amount of wear placed on the teeth, rotate and replace them periodically. Before you rotate or replace them, inspect each tooth holder on each pocket, including the flat lands that prevent the teeth from rotating. If the tooth holder is damaged, replace the pocket.
To install a tooth, align 1 of the 3 flat sides with the flat side on the pocket. Secure the tooth with a washer and nut and torque the nut to 68 N∙m (50 ft-lb).
Each tooth is indexed with 3 positions so that you can rotate it twice, exposing a new sharp edge before replacing the tooth. To rotate a tooth, loosen the nut securing the tooth (Figure 1). Push the tooth forward and rotate it 1/3 of a turn, bringing an unused edge to the outside. Torque the nut securing the tooth to 68 N∙m (50 ft-lb).
