The device described in this manual is a Bio-Shredder / Chipper, manufactured by CECCATO OLINDO. It is designed for slicing, chopping, and shredding organic waste such as tree branches, leaves from pruning, plants, shrubs, and fruit or vegetation scraps from farming.
Function Description
The Bio-Shredder / Chipper processes organic material by feeding it into a grinding chamber where cutting blades are located. The material is inserted from a hopper on the side of the grinding chamber. The machine's structure is made of coated steel, fitted with wheels for transport. The engine, which can be electric or petrol depending on the version, is mounted on the frame and connected to a transmission unit that moves the cutting blades.

- Never clean, maintain, or leave the machine with power on.
- Do not operate without fixed or mobile guards or with safety devices disabled.
- Never remove or tamper with safety devices.
- Do not perform maintenance or adjustments without reading the manual.
- Use powder extinguishers in case of fire; do not use water directly on electrical components to avoid short circuits.
- In case of prolonged burning, the fuel tank may explode; avoid being covered by fluids.
Stickers and Pictograms:
The machine has various stickers and pictograms indicating:
- Power supply shock hazard (230 volt single phase).
- Lifting point.
- Direction of motor rotation.
- Warning to turn off power and read manual before maintenance.
- Warning not to put hands in - danger of cutting.
- Warning of hands getting stuck and severed.
- General safety symbols: Read manual, wear hearing protection, do not remove casing, use safety shoes, do not lubricate moving parts, use work gloves, no smoking, use safety helmet, no entry to third parties, use mask/goggles, do not spill hydraulic oil.
Controls and Operation:
- Pre-start checks: Verify machine integrity, position on firm ground, correct power cable connection, and correct motor rotation direction (for three-phase motors).
- Safety System: Special devices ensure immediate machine shutdown to prevent injury and damage.
- Machine Controls: For electric models (ONE 230/400), controls include an ON/OFF switch (green for start, red for stop). For internal combustion engine models (ONE GX200/MAXI GX390), there are ON/OFF switches.
- Discharge Adjustment: A knob regulates the discharge distance of shredded material.
- Starting Electric Models (ONE 230/400): Connect to appropriate electrical outlet, press ON switch (for TRI 230) or insert three-pin plug (for TRI 380). Blades will start moving.
- Starting Petrol Models (ONE GX200/MAXI GX390): Set knob (1) to ON, pull starter chord (2), adjust choke lever (3), then adjust throttle (4). Refer to engine manual for more details.
- PTO Models (ONE PTO/MAXI PTO):
- Hook up to a tractor of suitable power using the appropriate device.
- Ensure machine and accessories have adequate signaling and protection for transport.
- Before inserting PTO plug, ensure correct RPM.
- Before leaving tractor, lower the hooked appliance, stop engine, apply handbrake, and remove keys.
- Never stand between tractor and equipment with engine on and PTO engaged or when moving with handbrake released.
- Disengage PTO when the cardan shaft angle is too wide.
- Use a universal joint with specified characteristics.
- Ensure the machine is on level ground when connected to the tractor.
- The PTO bio-shredder needs to be inserted into the tractor's battery plug.
- For HONDA engines, use GARDEN-4T.10W-30 oil.
- For PTO models, use GEAR-80W-90 oil for the multiplier.
Maintenance Features
Periodic Maintenance:
- After each use: Leave machine running for a few seconds to clear residual material. Clean the work area with compressed air after turning off the machine.
- Weekly: Check cutting parts (blades) and replace if necessary.
- Every 200 hours: Check correct fitting of components.
- General: All maintenance must be performed by competent personnel. Always turn off engine and disconnect power before maintenance. Use a sign "Machine out of service for maintenance: unauthorized personnel forbidden to approach and start." Clean work area and use suitable tools. Reduce maintenance intervals for heavy use. Clean panels and controls with soft rags and mild detergent; avoid solvents. Keep oils and greases out of reach, read instructions, avoid skin contact, wash thoroughly. Ensure all safety devices are functional after maintenance.
Grinding Mass Maintenance:
- A decrease in suction is the first sign that the two frontal blades need sharpening. Sharpening should be done urgently to prevent rupture of the mass. Contact your dealer for sharpening.
- Sharpening duration depends on wood type (dry/green), wood diameter, and damage from unsuitable materials (earth, stones, ironware).
Troubleshooting (Malfunctions and Repairs):
This operation must be carried out by trained personnel.
- Sudden engine stop (Power failure): Check line voltage.
- Sudden engine stop (Thermal sensor trigger): Reset internal thermostat in engine casing.
- Sudden engine stop (Excess material introduced): Cut off power or shut down fuel, eliminate excess or stuck material.
- Engine stop (for ONE 5.5 models) (Possible lack of fuel): Check fuel level and top up tank.
- Excess vibration (Loose parts, wrong assembly, broken cutting blades): Cut off power or shut down fuel. Verify correct fitting of components or replace damaged/worn blades.
- For any unlisted fault, contact an authorized technician.
Inactivity:
- Preparation for stop (for periods over one month):
- Disconnect from power source.
- Thoroughly check machine, replace worn/damaged parts.
- Check screws and bolts.
- Perform thorough cleaning and lubricate all moving parts.
- Cover machine and store in a protected environment.
- Restarting:
- Performed by a qualified technician.
- Ensure protective devices are efficient.
- Clean machine of dust and material.
- Lubricate moving parts.
- Check oil level (for ONE GX200 and MAXI GX390 models).
Handling and Transport:
- Transport must be carried out by professionally trained staff.
- Ensure lifting arm and anchor lashings are suitable for the machine's weight (indicated on the label).
- Anchor the machine at predetermined points on the frame using special ropes to the carrying vehicle.
- Moving the machine: Grab the handle, place one foot on the wheel axle, tilt the machine towards you to move it.
Demolition and Disposal:
The machine contains no hazardous components and is made from fully recyclable materials.
- For demolition, refer to specialized firms or trained personnel.
- Isolate the machine from power sources (electric or fuel).
- Remove wires and hand them over to a central collection point.
- Drain residual oil and fuel into airtight containers and hand them to a specialized disposal center.
- Hand over remaining metal parts to a company specializing in metal scrap disposal.
