Useful Suggestions
Throghout the use of the shredder situations and or problems may occur, for which we present some
suggestions:
Trouble Probable cause Solution
Equipment jammed Excess feeding or overload. Due
to this motor cannot achieve
required rotation, and the
material accumulates in the
shredder (continuous use under
this condition, can cause motor
burn-out due to overload).
Turn OFF shredder immediately and wait for motor to
stop. Remove the upper outlet and the excess material
inside shredder, replace the upper outlet. Once
shredder is ready to operate, turn ON the motor,
and wait until rotation reaches its full speed, only
then resume work. Maintain a steady and regulated
amount of input, so as not to overload motor.
Low production
1. Insufcient feeding of the
shredder.
2. Motor rotation lower than
specied.
3. Moist or green produce.
1. Maintain a continuous feeding flow, yet not
over-feeding which may cause the shredder to
jam.
2. Verify if purchased motor to be installed on
shredder (shredder sold without motor) is
compatible accoding to specifications (see
sticker on shredder). If motor rotation is below
specification, the hammers will be delayed
causing low production.
3. It is recommended to shred dry products; very
wet products can clog the outlet nozzle.
Irregular chopping 1. Blades without cutting threads
or blades and counter blades
irregular measures.
2. Worn.
1. Sharpen cutting blades (see page 72 and 73).
Adjust the blade and counter blade measurement
(page 73).
2. Follow procedure indicated on page 74.
Poor quality of
shredded products
1. Worn or damagedhammers.
2. Hammers are jammed.
1. Revert position or substitute hammers, consult
page 71.
2. Always clean shredder after usage, especially
after chopping green crop.
Difculty starting
motor
1. ExcesoExcess or overload of
produce.
2. Drop of high tension or power
source.
3. Poor fuel quality or problem in
the carburetor.
1. Turn OFF shredder immediately and wait for
motor to stop. Remove the excess material inside
shredder, once shredder is ready to operate, turn
ON the motor, and wait until rotation reaches its
full speed, only then resume work.
2. Consult electrician to check power source.
3. Replace the fuel or contact an authorized TRAPP
technical assistant.
