CHIPPER DRUM MAINTENANCE SECTION
CHIPPER DRUM MAINTENANCE
The Beast Recycler is a very simple machine to maintain. If you will follow a regular scheduled preventative
maintenance program you should have years of trouble free operation.
Before attempting any type of maintenance disengage clutch, turn off engine, wait for the cutterhead to come
to a complete stop, switch the battery disconnect to the off position, and make sure the ignition key is in your
possession.
Consult your engine manual for proper break-in procedures. Various engines require somewhat different
procedures,butbasicallytheenginesneedtooperateatlowerR.P.M.’sandloadsforaspecictime.
Failure to properly break-in your engine may result in poor bearing and piston ring surfaces.
The machine has only been run for a short time to test proper hydraulic pressures, possible leaks, etc. The fuel
tank will be empty. Fuel is provided through a small auxiliary tank for testing. This immensely helps maintain
safety in our manufacturing facility and while shipping.
Do not let anyone operate or maintain this machine until they have thoroughly read this manual, reviewed the
equipment decals, watched the equipment video, and has been properly trained. You can purchase additional
Smoracy, LLC manuals, decals and videos for a nominal fee.
Expensive damage to the machine will occur if proper preparation is not taken before welding on the machine.
