MAINTENANCE SAFETY
DISASSEMBLE FOR CLEANING
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Some of the most important safety precautions follow. However, we cannot warn you of every conceivable hazard that can
arise in performing maintenance. Only you can decide whether or not you should perform a given task. Failure to properly
follow maintenance instructions and precautions can cause you to be seriously hurt or killed. Always follow the procedures
and precautions in this owner’s manual.
When to Clean: Depending on the material being processed and the frequency of use, the slots of the drum may need to
be cleaned after each use or periodically.
Indications that machine requires cleaning
• Reduced trim quality
• Visible build-up of material in the drum slots which obscure the sharp edge of the slots
• Visible evidence of material on shear band
• Excessive noise (machine should run quietly so that you may converse normally when it is running)
Make sure all motors are off and power cords are unplugged before you begin any maintenance or repairs. Read the
instructions before you begin, and make sure you have the tools and skills required.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CLEANING
INTERVAL ITEM
BEFORE EACH USE
Check that shear band is snug, and in contact with slotted drum and is tightened appropri-
ately. Check that machine is free of excessive debris. Ensure that machine is clean and the
drum can be rotated without power under manual force.
DURING USE
Although not required, application of a food grade lubricant can help reduce resin build up
and keep slotted drum clean.
AFTER EACH USE
For best performance and longevity, clean trimmer after every use or if plant material is
visibly affecting the trim quality or speed of the trimmer.
EVERY 10 HRS OF
OPERATION
For maximum wear life, rotate orientation of shear band every 10 hours or when visible signs
of wear are identified. Although not required, this will extend the life of the shear band.
