long arms blade bolts

[karl1991]

Hi all.

Blade bolts keep coming loose on km130

Are these bolts supposed to have thread lock?

Too tight blades don't move, too loose and they drop out. All sliders are there.

Noticed bolts have red on threads presume this is old loctite?

Thanks

You mean on the hedgecutter head? What do you mean by sliders? Do you mean the rectangular spacer that the bolts go through? These should stop the blades from pinching when you torque the bolts up.

 

Loctite might be a cure for this problem. However unless someone has tried to take a bit off the spacers to remove play in worn blades (and gone too far) then I can't see why you'd have a problem to begin with?

Yes sorry hedgecutter head.

Unsure of what's causing the issue. Noticed a bolt missing at the tip then another around half way down..

At first I thought a spacer was missing but they are complete

I'll try a bit a bit of thread lock

Thanks
