CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT
The engine must be running at low idle when engaging the
clutch. The clutch is engaged by bumping-in. Bumping-in
involves several partial engagements using the clutch handle.
Each bump establishes rotation to the Cutterhead
assembly progressively increasing speed. After two or three
“bumps”, the clutch handle is moved to the fully engaged
over-center position. It will take most of your strength to
engage the clutch fully. If it engages easily, do not operate
the Recycler until the clutch has been properly adjusted.
Remember; it must take most of your strength to lock
the clutch in place. The engine is now ready to be brought
up to full RPM with the throttle control. Reduce to 1,000
RPM to disengage PTO.
HYDRAULIC CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT (PT TECH)
With the engine turned on and running at 900 RPM, push
and hold the start button on the hydraulic clutch control box
for 3 seconds. When the LED light turns green, clutch is
engaging. The engine is now ready to be brought up to full
RPM with the throttle control. Reduce to 1,000 RPM to
disengage PTO.

1) Throttle Adjustment:
The engine throttle adjustment is located on the engine gauge panel inside the control cabinet. To increase
engine speed, toggle the switch up. To decrease engine speed, toggle the switch down.
2) Oil Pressure Gauge:
The oil pressure is monitored on the diagnostic gauge located on the engine panel inside the control cabinet.
The engine shut down system is wired through this gauge. If the oil pressure is lost, the engine will shut down
and all moving components will coast to a stop.
3) Engine Temperature Gauge:
The engine temperature is monitored on the diagnostic gauge panel inside the control cabinet. The engine is
equipped with a temperature overheat strobe light. This will alert the operator that an overheat condition is
about to occur and before an automatic shutdown happens.
The engine shut down system is also through this gauge. If the coolant temperature gets too high, the engine
will shut down and all moving components will coast to a stop.
