SECTION 1-11
Safely Cleaning A Jam
CLEAR THE JAM
A leather mallet and block of wood of sufficient length to keep
hands away from the path of the knives can be used if required.
Use the block of wood to exert force on the rotor, usually in the
direction opposite normal rotation.
Make sure you have secure footing on a clean floor and keep
your body well braced while prying on the rotor. Guard against
loss of balance should the jammed condition suddenly come free.
Use pliers to remove material from the cutting chamber, keep in mind that the removal of material may
cause rotation of the rotor and rotor knives.
If prying on the rotor is unsuccessful, remove the bed knife and the rotor knife at the jam. For
information about bed knives, refer to Section 4, Settings and Adjustments.
Close the screen cradle per instructions in Section 6-4 entitled Screen Replacement.
Close the cutting chamber per instructions in Section 6-9 entitled Cutting Chamber Access.
