Adjustments and Maintenance
Cutting Height and Belt Adjustment
1.
The cutting height of the shredder can be
adjusted from
0
-
6”.
Adjustment is done by
adjusting the height of the gauge roller on
the side of the shredder that is closest to the
operating vehicle and then adjusting the tilt
on the operating vehicle so that the desired
cutting height is achieved.
2.
Adjusting the height of the back gauge roller
is done by removing the two bolts on the
height adjusting plate on both sides of the
shredder and sliding the plate up or down to
achieve the desired height. The weight of
the shredder should be on the gauge roller,
not on the front of the shredder.
3.
Belt adjustment is done by tightening the
idler adjusting rod which pulls the idler pul-
ley into the belts. On a new machine, after
1
-
2 hours of operation, tighten the drive
belts so there is only
1/4”
to
3/8”
give with 8
pounds of force.

4.
If your BrushHound has the optional skid
shoes, replacing or installing these is done
by removing the two bolts holding them in
place and simply reinstalling new ones using
the two bolt holes that the old ones were re-
moved from.
5.
Adjustment of the height limiter is done by
increasing or reducing the amount of slack
in the chain going from the ring on the
shredder to the operating vehicle. More
slack will allow the machine to be raised
higher and less slack will keep it lower to the
ground.
