Air Bag Information
Figure 116: Air Bag Information Page
The Air Bag Information page (Figure 116) displays the
air bag status and settings.
Air Bag Pressure : A dial gauge shows the air pres-
sure range up to 125 psi. The actual pressure is shown
below, in green.
Air Bag Fill Mode : Auto or Manual
IRS : Enabled or Disabled
Air Bag Pressure Setpoint : This is the automatic
setting for the air bag.
An LED illuminates whenever corresponding action
occurs:
• The air compressor is on ( Air Compressor On )
• The air bag is purging air (
Air Bag Bleed
)

To set the air bag pressure:
1. Touch inside the box that displays the setpoint.
An adjustment page appears. See “Air Bag
(Adjust)” on page 146.
2. Adjust the air pressure for the type of material to
grind: 5 to 60 psi (0.3 to 4.1 bar).
• 5–25 psi (0.3–1.7 bar) for heavy contamination.
• 40 psi (2.8 bar) for a general starting point—
good for green waste with some contamination.
Increase the pressure if nuisance openings are a
problem.
• 60 psi (4.1 bar) for clean hardwoods and to avoid
nuisance openings.
