Basic Operation
Starting Procedure
ATTENTION
Do not start the tractor until shredder has been carefully checked for correct assem-
bly and installation. Be sure all observers are at least 100 feet clear of the machine.
1. Check to see that the shredder is in the down position and blades are not touching the
ground. Start the engine. Set throttle at idle speed and slowly engage the PTO.
WARNING
Do not engage the PTO at a high engine speed. You may damage the shredder and
possibly the tractor’s PTO system.
Do not operate with tractors having 1000 RPM PTO speeds unless the shredder has
been specifically designed to run at that speed. This high speed will damage the
shredder and possibly cause injury.
2. Increase engine RPM to 540 PTO speed for a few minutes. Check for any excess vi-
bration or loose parts.
IMPORTANT: If excess vibrations occur, disengage the tractor PTO shaft IMMEDI-
ATELY. Shut off the tractor and determine and correct the cause of the problem.
The rotor shaft has been electronically balanced to within 2 mils, which must be
maintained throughout the life of the machine.
3. Shut off tractor engine,
shut off PTO, put tractor
in park, set parking
brake and check PTO
shaft, all bearings and
gearbox for excess heat
or oil leaks.
