MAINTENANCE
SECTION 6-9
Cutting Chamber Access
TURN OFF AND LOCKOUT the power per OSHA 1910.147 OR ANSI Z244.1-1982
(Lockout/Tag out of Energy Sources).
If it is not possible to lock out the power, have an electrician remove the fuses.
Make sure the rotor has come to a complete stop.
The hydraulic cylinders/jackscrews, which open the machine, should not operate
until the rotor is completely stopped. If you discover that the jackscrews DO
operate while the rotor is still turning, immediately shut down the machine and
call for maintenance to adjust it.
Wear gloves to protect against injury from the rotor or bed knives.
OPEN THE CUTTING CHAMBER INTERLOCK
Disengage the interlock actuator screw with a box
wrench or a ratchet wrench.
Make sure the end of the interlock actuator screw is
visible and clear of any contact.
When disengaged, the interlock opens the electrical control
circuit to the motor and prevents the machine from running.
RELEASE THE CUTTING CHAMBER
FASTENERS
Turn the hold-down clamps counterclockwise to loosen
them.
Swing the hold-down clamps toward you until they are
disengaged from the cutting chamber housing.
