SETUP
Make certain the floor is clean, level, and free of obstructions before placing the machine into position.
Open the machine by loosening the hex coupling nut(s) at the front of the machine enough to allow for
rotation of the threaded swing bolts out of the clamp(s). Visually inspect the hopper in-feed opening to
ensure that no stray packing material or debris is present.
NOTE:
It is never necessary to loosen the spring block locknuts located on the front of the cutting
chamber. The spring blocks are factory set and require no adjustment.
Remove the bolts on the bottom surface of the cutting chamber to lift cutting chamber to the extreme open
position. Please note that there is a safety pin on the side to keep it open.
CAUTION:
The knives mounted on the rotor and also located at the edges of the cutting chamber are extremely
sharp. Wear heavy gloves and exercise care when working in the cutting chamber.
Remove the screen from the screen chamber and wipe it clean. The screen should then be placed aside and
should always be positioned standing upright on its side. Wipe the inside of the screen chamber clean.
Carefully inspect the interior of the cutting chamber for foreign material or debris. Slowly turn the rotor by
hand to verify that it freely rotates without obstruction or contact between rotor and bed knives. Wipe the
inside of the cutting chamber clean. Before closing the machine, check the chamber carefully to ensure nothing
has been left inside the machine. Place the screen back into its original position before closing the machine.
Securely close the machine by rotating the threaded swing bolts up into the clamps and tightening the hex
coupling nut(s) at the front of the machine. Make certain all electrical connections are properly made and
supported between accessories and the control enclosure (refer to the wiring diagram for wire and terminal
connections).
Open the sheave guard(s) by removing the bolts attaching the cover. Check the belts for proper tension and
alignment in section
Service Instructions
. Upon completion, close the sheave guards by placing the cover back
into position, insert all of the bolts originally removed, and tighten them fully.
ELECTRICAL SERVICE CONNECTIONS
Carefully check the diagrams packed with the machine. All internal wiring has been completed at the factory. All
safety interlocks have been verified to be functional before shipment. It is only necessary to connect the
electrical power source to the machine at the control enclosure.
NOTE
: All equipment must be grounded in compliance with Article 250 of the NEC and all local codes.
Customers’ disconnecting means and branch circuit protection must also be in compliance with the National
Electric Code and all local codes.
