2009 DURATECH TUB GRINDER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2.7 Hydraulic cooler
The hydraulic system has a radiator to disperse excess heat. It is mounted in front of the engine radiator, and can be
accessed via the radiator access panel.
2.8 The conveyor system
The conveyor system on the 2009 DURATECH TUB GRINDER consists of a belly conveyor and a discharge
conveyor. The belly conveyor transfers the ground material from the rotor to the discharge conveyor. The discharge
conveyor then moves the material away from the unit. The conveyors are run by two hydraulic orbit motors which
are turned on and off with one control switch. This switch is located at the control panel. The discharge conveyor
can be raised or lowered from the control panel. The discharge conveyor can also be folded for transport from the
conveyor controls located on the control panel.
2.9 Tub cover (optional)
An optional tub cover may be added to the unit that helps to reduce the amount of material ejected from the tub while
grinding. DuraTech recommends using a tub cover when grinding in a high trafc area.
2.10 Control panel
The control panel is located on the left hand side of the engine. Controls on the control panel include; engine start,
emergency kill switch, throttle, tub controls, conveyor on/off, conveyor positioning, rotor engage button, rotor
disengage button, tub governor, tub tilt, and the job hours reset button.
Gauges on the control panel include; tub circuit hydraulic pressure, conveyor hydraulic pressure, auxiliary hydraulic
pressure, fuel level, grinding hours gauge, job hours gauge; and in the engine control panel, engine oil pressure,
voltmeter, water temperature, engine load, and a diagnostic module. The diagnostic module is only on machines with
a John Deere engine.
