MOBIUS TRIMMER M108S USER GUIDE

1. Ensure that one of the trim team resources in the room is assigned to keep an eye out for when
it is time to perform a hot swap.
2. When it’s time for a hot swap, stop the conveyors (if using them), turn off the blades, vacuum
and tumbler by pressing in these dials on the control panel, and activate the e-stop switch.
3. Open the lid of the machine to inspect the tumbler, brush, bed knives, spacer bars and helical
blades. Determine what parts require swap-out:
4. Once the hot swap is complete, close the lid and perform the 6 Point Blade Inspection.
Because the machine has been in operation, it is possible for small pieces of plant material
to interfere with how the blade cartridge components are seated. Use the 6 Point Blade
Inspection to ensure all components are correctly seated.
5. To recommence trimming operations, turn on the vacuum rst. This will hold the material in the
tumbler and prevent it from spilling out the end in a big batch during start-up.
6. Once the vacuum has ramped up to full power (5 – 10 seconds), turn on the blades, tumbler,
and, if using them, the infeed and outfeed conveyors.
• Resin tends to build up fastest on the bed knives, so these will likely be changed on every
hot swap;
• If wet trimming, it is a good idea to keep the brush clean. Either swap in a new brush
or remove the one in use, run a hand up and down the brush to clear off any plant
material stuck in the bristles and reinstall it in the lid.
• Tumbler, spacer bars and helical blades may or may not need to be swapped out.
Assess resin build-up and swap-out these parts as necessary.
• Since the machine is already at a stop, it is usually a good idea to empty or swap out the
trim tote at the point.
HOT SWAPS
The Mobius M108S was designed in a way that enables speedy swap-out of all plant-touching
components. Depending on the material being run (wet, dry, strain, etc.), the temperature in the
room, and a variety of other factors, some or all of these plant touching parts may need to be
changed out during a trim session. We call this a ‘hot swap’.
Wet trimming a very sticky strain in a warm room may require performing a hot swap after only 90
minutes, while dry trimming in a cool room might not require a hot swap at all, even after six hours.
Under normal operating conditions, hot swaps are typically performed every 2 – 4 hours during
trimming.
To perform a hot swap, take the following steps:
