2009 DURATECH TUB GRINDER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3.20 If lodging occurs while grinding
Occasionally materials may lodge against the side of the tub and not feed down to the mill. If this occurs, reverse the
tub direction briey, and then start the tub in a forward direction again. This practice normally dislodges any materials.
CAUTION: Never attempt to dislodge material inside the tub when machine is in operation by
manually pushing materials down. TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, STAY OUT OF
THE TUB WHEN THE MACHINE IS IN OPERATION!
3.21 Grinding wet material
Wet material is the toughest material for any grinder to handle. If possible, try to mix the wet materials with drier
materials before grinding. When grinding wet material, deposit small quantities on a more frequent basis rather than
lling the tub with wet material.
3.22 Preparing the 2009 DURATECH TUB GRINDER for transport
To prepare the 2009 DURATECH TUB GRINDER for transport over public roads, perform the following steps:
1. Be sure all loose parts such as screens, hammer rods, or extra hammers are properly stowed.
2. If the machine has folding ares, rotate the tub so the folding ares line up with the side of the machine.
3. If equipped with a magnetic roller, latch the discharge pan into the transport position.
4. Fold the discharge conveyor, and then raise the discharge conveyor into the transport position which is
shown in gure 3.2 on the facing page. When folding the conveyor, do not exceed an engine speed of
1000 RPM. Excessive engine RPM will cause the conveyor to fold too fast and may cause damage. Be
certain that no power lines, branches, roof trusses, etc. will obstruct the folding operation of the conveyor.
CAUTION: DO NOT MOVE TUB GRINDER without rst securing the conveyor in transport
position as shown in gure 3.2 on the facing page
5. If your machine is equipped with a tub cover, then lower tub cover.
6. Shut down the engine using the normal shutdown procedure. (see section 3.6)
7. Verify that the semi‑tractor is properly coupled to the grinder hitch, and that the trailer wiring harness and
air brake lines are properly connected to the semi-tractor.
8. Remove all loose materials such as leaves, grass, and branches from the machine.
