Description
The Shredder 4000 Profi is equipped with a set
of shredding hammers and a shredding disk. The
shredding disk handles branches etc up to a
maximum of 8cm diameter, as well as twigs,
leaves and other material which can be fed
through the main hopper.
Preparations for work
Before using the machine, check that nothing
has been left in either of the two feed hoppers.
In case of petrol engine machines, check that
the engine is full of fuel and oil (please check
engine manufacturers manual for details). For
electric powered units it is vital to check that the
rotation direction is correct, if not have the
correct wiring carried out by a qualified
electrician. In the case of three phase motors,
ensure that the cable has five conductors of at
least 1.5 square mm cable section and use a 16
A fuse.
Check the tensioning of the V-belt.

Working system
•
Soft material, leaves and twigs can be
shreddered directly in the main hopper.
•
Thick material and branches must be fed
using the side hopper.
•
Do not operate the machine unless the
engine, or electric motor, is running at full
speed. Do not allow the engine to labour but
feed at a rate which allows it to maintain
rates speed throughout the operation cycle.
•
Do not force material into the hopper as this
could overload the machine and cause
damage not covered by the warranty.
Main Hopper
Material fed into the main hopper, reaches the
hammers directly. Because of this only light
weight material should be fed in this way.
Important:
The hammer action generally pulls material
through the hopper without manual assistance.
In the case of blockages use the feeding tools
supplied and under no circumstances attempt to
push it down manually.
Side Hopper (Branch-Cutter)
Use this for all long material and thick branches
up to the capacity limit of the machine. Do not
force material in so fast that the engine is forced
to labour.
Cutting screen (optional)
This should only be used with dry material which
is then re-chopped until it is quite fine..
Important:
Never use this for damp material, which will
otherwise block up and jam it.
Note:
Damp material should be shreddered with the
screen folded down in the horizontal position.
Prevention of pile-up during ejection
Keep outlet clear. Always check that there is
enough space from outlet for the material being
chopped.
