OPERATION
06 Machine Operation
This section outlines the machine operation and functions.
06.A Power Connect machine to the appropriate voltage power source.
06.B Starting Machine
To start the machine, press the start button located under the
clear rubber seal on the starter.
06.C Stopping Machine
To stop the machine, press the large red Stop button. This will
cut power to the flywheel and feedworks. Be aware that the
flywheel and feedworks will take a short amount of time to coast
to a stop after the power has been turned off.
06.D Resetting Machine To reset the machine, pull the large red Stop button outwards.
06.E
Manually Feeding
Machine
With the machine running, introduce material into the infeed
funnel. The feedworks mechanism should grab the material and
pull it into the machines cutting chamber
06.F
Utilizing Feedworks
Handle
Sometimes material can be of awkward shape/size and the
feedworks mechanism will not automatically pull the material
into the machine. In this instance, introducing material into the
infeed funnel up to the feedworks, and then pulling back on the
feedworks handle to insert the material further in will solve this
problem. Once the material is placed further in, release the
handle and the material will be pulled into the chopper.
06.G Timed Shutoff
If equipped with a Timed shutoff
starter, the chopper will shut
down automatically after the allotted time has expired.
