Clean out shaft – using
1. The clean out shaft should only be used in the event that normal cleaning
practices do not remove all the material from the job.
2. The clean out shaft can cause significant damage if used incorrectly.
3. The clean out shaft is designed to be used on fresh material, that cannot be
removed using normal wash down and manual means.
4. The clean out shaft will become damaged if trying to clean out fully cured and
hardened material.
5. The clean out shaft is to be turned at the lowest speed, with plenty of running
water, as any debris created will be passed through the stator and the water will
minimize any damage.
6. The clean out shaft is loaded into the machine in the same manner as the mixing
shaft. While the shaft is turning the cutter head will self-feed into the mixing
chamber cleaning material form the sides as it descends. It will automatically stop
feeding when it reaches the end of its travel, limited by two areas of weld on the
shaft.
7. Do not use the clean out shaft without the safety grid fitted.
