START-UP PROCEDURE
Pre-start-up procedure
Familiarize yourself with all controls and button locations.
Ensure that all guards and covers are in place.
Ensure the area is clean.
Check input conveyor for debris, discarded tools, etc.
Start-up
Have an authorized electrician connect power to the rotary disconnect in the main
shredder panel. Check in feed hopper to make sure there is no material present.
Turn key switch on, the “POWER ON” Light will illuminate. Depress momentarily
the REVERSE BUTTON and check the rotation of the shafts, the shafts will need to
operate in opposite directions of each other. If the direction is wrong, reverse two
of the incoming power wires to change motor rotation.
Once rotation is correct momentarily depress “MASTER START” the machine will
start in reverse and run for approximately 2 seconds, there will then be a pause of
about 2 seconds and the machine will run forward.
To stop machine at any time depress the red “SHREDDER STOP” pushbutton. For
emergency situations the Stop pushbutton may be depressed at any time. For
normal stop situations, wait for input chute to empty itself and the output conveyor
to discharge all shredded material before depressing Stop button.
Begin feeding material to be shredded. It is recommended that during the
familiarizing period the operator should proceed with small amounts of media.
After several hours experience the operator may wish to increase the amount of
material being fed. The operator will soon be able to judge the efficiency of the
operation and feed material accordingly. It is nearly inevitable that during this
learning process the machine will jam. A jam condition will automatically change
the rotation of the cutters to the reverse rotation for approximately two seconds.
Then the cutters will come to rest for approximately two seconds, then forward
rotation automatically begins again. This automatic un-jamming process will occur
three times and if an additional jam occurs the machine will shut off automatically,
and will then require operator to follow proper lock out procedures to clear the jam
from the machine.
