6 - Feeding Information
6.1
Overview
•
Before introducing any material into the feed slot, the machine and vacuum must be turned on
and operating. The material collection vacuum must be checked periodically and emptied for
continued operation.
•
New Operators:
New operators should be given a minimum two hour break-in/training period
when starting to use this machine.
•
When destruction is complete, allow the unit to operate for 60 seconds after the last piece of
material is destroyed before initiating the three minute timed shutdown. This will prevent build
up in the cutting area and evacuation line, ensuring proper operation for the next user.
•
Vacuum collection bags must be periodically changed for proper operation. The
Vac Full
light
will illuminate when vacuum pressure drops, indicating that the bag is full. DO NOT INSERT ANY
ADDITIONAL MATERIAL. Wait 60 seconds from last fed piece and initiate timed shutdown.
Bypassing timed shutdown at any point may cause a jam on start up.
•
In the event of a voltage spike, no matter the cause, on both single and double cord machines,
one or both overloads will trip and the machine will shut down. Open the electrical panel and
reset the overloads. See sections 2.2 and 2.3 for locations.
•
Vac Full:
Do not shut down the machine when the vac full light comes on. Wait 60 seconds and
initiate timed shutdown before changing bag.
Note:
For optimal sound reduction after inserting media or other materials, close feed drawer.
Destruction rates can vary depending on the screen size selected.
