Removing obstructions
Although the machine has been designed to process various
materials without issue, obstructions can sometimes occur. If
this happens, you need to follow the following procedure:
1.
Make sure bystanders are not close-by and this especially
refers to children.
2.
Turn the hydraulic feed hopper upside down so that the
obstructing material is released.
3.
Switch off the engine, put the ignition key in your pocket
and wait until all moving parts have come to a standstill
before removing the obstruction.
4.
Pull the material from the feed hopper. Make sure that all
the material has been removed and that nothing is
trapped between the feed opening and the rotor.
5.
Pull the material from the discharge hopper. Use a stick to
release material that is trapped in the discharge hopper.
Do not leave anything behind in this hopper.
Serious obstruction
1.
Make sure the engine is completely switched off and that
the ignition key is in your pocket to prevent an accidental
switching on.
2.
Loosen the anchor nuts of the feed hopper and put the
feed hopper up. Remove material from the rotor
compartment.
3.
Clean the discharge part/rotor.
4.
Open the rotor cover and clean the housing. Turn the
rotor manually to check that nothing is trapped between
the rotor and the stationary blades.
5.
Close and reposition all parts in their positions that were
opened to remove the obstruction. Tighten the fasteners
using the specified torque.
6.
Check whether everybody is away from the machine
before again switching on the engine.
7.
Switch on the motor and the power take-off and resume
your work.
