Lifting the swing arm for access
Lifting the swing arm to get access to the feed roller area may be required for:
•
Inspecting, replacing, and adjusting the anvil
•
Clearing a blockage
▪
If your machine is fitted with the “Lift & Crush” feature:
•
Operator 1: Use the lift and crush control lever to lift the swing arm up and hold it there
•
Operator 2: Use the rotor lock pin to hold the swing arm up by inserting the pin into the hole on the right-
hand side of the feed roller cover
While inserting, take care to keep your hands away from the hole in case the swing arm
unexpectedly lowers before you have removed your hand from the pin
•
Operator 1: Once the pin is inserted and with all hands clear of pin, release the lift and crush lever and turn
the machine off.
•
With the machine off and cutting rotor stopped, the feed roller area can be accessed safely.
Do NOT
attempt to access this area unless the engine is off, and rotor has stopped turning.
▪
If your machine is not fitted with the “Lift & Crush” feature:
•
Turn the engine off and wait for rotor to stop spinning.
Do NOT
open the rotor cover or attempt to access this area unless the engine is off, and rotor has
stopped turning.
•
Open the rotor cover
•
Carefully release the feed roller springs
The feed roller springs can store a dangerous amount of energy so extreme care needs to be taken
when releasing them. Ideally, try to release them using a stick or long tool. In any case, keep your
hands away from the swinging path of the handle as it releases the tension.
•
Lift the swing arm up and insert the rotor lock pin into the locking hole:
WARNING!
Do NOT
perform any service & maintenance activities with the engine running unless it is safe to do so. Do
not perform any service & maintenance activities while the cutting rotor is still spinning.
