2009 DURATECH TUB GRINDER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3.23 Preparing the 2009 DURATECH TUB GRINDER for operation after
transport
To prepare the 2009 DuraTech Tub Grinder for operation after transport, perform the following steps:
1. Check the location.
• Are there power lines, branches, roof trusses, etc. that will obstruct the unfolding operation of the
conveyor and the loading operation of the tub?
• Position grinder to minimize the risk of thrown objects. For more information see section 1.6
on page 13.
2. Turn the battery disconnect switch to “ON”.
3. Perform pre‑operation inspection of the tub grinder.
4. Start the engine. If equipped, open the tub cover fully.
5. Lower the conveyor fully.
6. Unfold the top section of the discharge conveyor until it is fully extended. When unfolding the conveyor,
do not exceed an engine speed of 1000 RPM. Excessive engine RPM will cause the conveyor to move too
fast and may cause damage.
7. If equipped with a magnetic roller, unlatch the discharge pan and set it to “working position”.
8. Raise the conveyor to operating height.
9. Set tub cover to desired position.
3.24 Preparing the 2009 DURATECH TUB GRINDER for storage
To prepare the 2009 DURATECH TUB GRINDER for storage, perform the following steps:
1. The grinder has 4 pressure rollers with tapered roller bearings. These bearings should be regreased
annually.
2. Change the hydraulic oil and lter every 500 hours of operation.
3. To prevent rust and make inspection easier, thoroughly clean the machine.
4. Check for loose or worn chains, belts, sprockets and pulleys.
5. Check the condition of bearings.
6. Make sure that the batteries are fully charged before storing the unit, and turn the battery disconnect
switch to “OFF”.
7. Change the engine oil and lter.
