Hello,   I am going to rotate the disc blades, do i need to replace the blade bolts or can i simply reuse the original ones?

Thanks very much, Ken

No need to replace the bolts unless something has been through the chipper and caused damage, then it's advisable ..

It's recommended to replace the nylocs each time but personally I just go on feel with nylocs..

If your chipper has the 'Nordlock' washers fitted under the nylocs (two part serrated washer) then make sure they go back correctly with the course serrations together and torque the nuts up to 200Nm...

Thanks Jase,  I have checked to manual and it states 150NM on the bolts so would 200NM be a bit too much?  It makes no mention with regards to replacing bolts or nuts so i'll do a visual inspection and if they look fine i'll reuse them.  Thanks for replying.

The torque has been increased to 200Nm with the introduction of the Nordlock washers...
