OPERATION
18. Shear Pin:
The PTO driveline is designed with a shear pin at the input yoke to prevent overloading the
drive system. Remove the broken parts from the yoke when the pin shears and replace with
genuine Victory parts. The drive system is designed to function well without failing the shear
pin. If it does fail, generally it is being fed too fast or something very hard has been jammed
into the rotor or between the blades. Always unplug the system and determine the cause of the
problem and correct it before resuming work.
WARING
Machine is shown with guard opened or rotor cover opened for illustrative
purposes only. Do not operate machine with guard opened or cover opened.

19. Unplugging:
Although the machine is designed to handle a wide variety of material without any problem, occasionally
it plugs. When the machine plugs, follow this procedure to unplug:
a.
Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children.
b.
Stop the engine, remove the ignition key and place it in your pocket and wait for all moving parts to
stop before unplugging.
c.
Pull the material out of the feed hopper or reverse the hydraulic feed hopper. Be sure all the
material is out and nothing is jammed or wedged between the input opening and the rotor.
d.
Pull the material out of the discharge hood. Use a stick to poke loose any material jammed into
the discharge hood. Do not allow anything to remain in this area.
