Periodic Maintenance
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
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.
A malfunction of the machine, such as a jam, may cause undue strain or damage to any part. Do not restart the
machine after such a malfunction without checking to see whether damage was done or whether settings were
changed by the malfunction.
RESTART THE GRANULATOR
If necessary to replace the fuses, call an electrician to do it.
UNLOCK AND TURN ON the main power.
Remove the OUT OF SERVICE tag.
Start the granulator by depressing the start pushbutton on the electrical cabinet.
