CS100 blade changing...

[Guss109]

Glad it's not just me, I came to take mine off the other day and 6 bolts rounded off! I am waiting for some new bolts so I can have a good go at them. The green mech guy said that they weld a bolt onto the end of the nut as a last straw, but they did say to torque the bolts to 30.

 

I hope to get the bolts next week and get the blades turned, I do think this is the only fault on the machine though

 

 

 

I've had the same problem first change went well but the second change the supplied torx bit look to be rounded then we snapped another bit and rounded a few bolts to.

An impact driver makes it very easy to remove the bolts. Make sure you clean out the Torx socket is cleaned out properly so the bit goes all the way in before loosening.

 

I have been recommended by my dealer to tighten at no more than 25 Nm (even though the manual states 35 Nm) and use copper grease on the bolts.

I have attached a sharpening spec for the regrinding the CS 100 chipper blades.

 

It is fully aligned with the GreenMech recommendations.
