11.3.6. Manually lifting the feed roller
Warning:
Lifting the feed roller may expose you to certain hazards. Always
make sure to wear appropriate protective gear: gloves, safety goggles, etc.
Caution:
Before lifting the feed roller, shut off the engine and remove the igni-
tion key from the starter.
It may be necessary to manually lift the feed roller for certain maintenance operations or if the
blade shaft has become blocked. Follow these instructions to lift or lower the feed roller:
• Turn off the engine and wait a few seconds for the shaft to come to a complete standstill.
• If possible, release the springs situated on either side of the feed roller (this step is not re-
quired). This will remove the need to fight against the resistance of the springs while lifting the
feed roller.
• Lift the feed roller with two hands and keep lifting until the lock to keep it in place engages
automatically.
• To lower the feed roller, lift it slightly to release the automatic lock. Lower the feed roller into
its original position, guiding it down slowly with your hands.
• If you removed the two rails alongside the roller while lifting it, make sure to tighten the two
fixtures at the bottom when the roller is lowered, and the two fixtures towards the top when the
roller is lifted. See the image below:
Warning:
Put the springs back into their original position, and ensure that the
lock is not still in the "active" position when you start using the machine again
to shred. The lever could potentially lock the feed roller in the highest position
while the machine is running and cause an uncontrolled amount of material to
be fed into the machine.
