Troubleshooting
Clearing a Stage 1 Cutting Chamber Jam
Tools and PPE Required:
Cut resistant gloves
Long pliers
5/32” Allen wrench
1. If Stage 1 experiences a jam, the unit automatically reverses up to five times to clear the jam. If the jam
is not automatically cleared, the unit goes into a timed shutdown mode illuminating solid both the
RESET button and the STOP button.
• If the unit is ready to run, the RESET button light extinguishes. Go to step 2.
• If the unit is still jammed, the RESET button remains illuminated solid and the media may have
to be removed manually. Go to step 3.
• If the RESET button flashes, see Clearing a Stage 2 Cutting Chamber Jam, next section.
2. To restart the unit, press the START button on the vacuum fan system, and then press the RESET button
on the disintegrator control panel.
Caution: Always de-energize the unit using proper lockout-tagout (LOTO) procedures when cleaning,
lubricating, or performing any other maintenance, troubleshooting, or repair.
Warning: NEVER reach into the cutting chamber with bare hands.
Caution: Always wear proper PPE, including cut resistant gloves, when accessing the cutting chambers.
3. To release the jam, de-energize the unit using proper lockout-tagout (LOTO) procedure, then unbolt and
remove the top cover to gain access to the Stage 1 chamber (see Figure 7 and Figure 8, page 17, in the
Cleaning section). SEM recommends using long pliers to remove the drive and/or remaining particles.
4. Bolt the top cover back into place.
5. Follow the startup procedures to restart the unit, Startup and Operation, page 10.
