OPERATION (cont.)
BLOWER INLET & OUTLET
NOTE: The collector cover must always be open while grinding.
Plugging in the blower inlet or outlet can be seen by the abnormal amount of dust particles in the air
around the top of the collector, and/or the visible presence of dust in the mill throat area and/or a
reduced air discharge at the top of the collector. If plugging is detected, proceed as follows:
Blower Inlet
1. Stop the tractor engine, remove ignition key, allow all mechanisms to
stop and disengage PTO.
2. Open the mill screen cover and remove the screen.
3. Inspect the blower inlet opening and remove any build-up.
Collector
4. If there is no air coming out the top of the collector, the
plugging is in the discharge side (blower outlet). Remove
and clean out the tube connected to the blower outlet. Climb
the ladder and check the inside of the collector. If the cyclone
is plugged, remove the pipe below the cyclone and dislodge
the plugging material.
5. After the plugging has been removed, replace the screen,
close and latch the mill screen cover and attempt to resume
grinding.
