7.1 Hammers, bolts and mounting plates.
Hammers, bolts and mounting plates on the rotor shaft must be checked
regularly for wear.ver work with hammers, bolts and mounting plates that do
not meet the minimum-dimension requirements! For this, see figure 7.1.1.
Immediately replace any parts that do not meet the minimum dimensions
required!

Worn hammers result in poor shredding quality that looks bad. When this happens,
replace all hammers and, if necessary, all bolts.
Replacing only the hammers that are most worn would render the rotor shaft out of
balance, resulting in vibrations which may cause serious damage to your shredder in
a very short time. Vibrations may point to one or more (heavily) damaged hammers
and/or hammer brackets. Also, objects wound around the rotor shaft (e.g. barbed
wire) may cause vibrations. In the event of vibrations and/or changes in the shredder
sound, switch off the PTO shaft immediately, then locate and eliminate the cause!
Excessive wear of hammers, bolts and mounting plates on the rotor shaft
may be caused by too low a rotor shaft speed and/or frequent contact
of the hammers with soil or water.
If one or more hammers have been (heavily) damaged, replace them with specimens
that are worn to the same degree as the other hammers mounted.
If, after taking the above measures, there are still vibrations in the machine, this may
point to a bent rotor shaft. Contact your dealer. Never try to repair a rotor shaft
yourself!
7.2.
Protection.
Regularly check the condition of the protection. Immediately replace damaged,
bent or worn metal protecting flaps on the front side of the cutting head. Make sure
the flaps can turn freely at all times.
It is prohibited by law to operate this machine
without protecting flaps/guards or if they are worn!!
