Adjustments and Maintenance
Cutting Height and Belt Adjustment
1.
The cutting height of the shredder can be ad-
justed from
0
-
8”.
Adjustment is done by
shortening or lengthening the top
-
link and
adjusting the back gauge roller. UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE KNIVES
CONTACT THE GROUND!
2.
The entire weight of the shredder should be
on the back gauge roller. The tines should
be adjusted to where they scrape the sur-
face of the ground. They are adjusted by
moving the nut and bolt up and down to
achieve the desired height. Adjust the back
gauge roller by removing bolts from both
sides and resetting it to the correct height.
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.
