Solution
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.
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. Shred dry products only. Humid products may
clog the outlet.
1. Sharpen cutting blades (see page 45).
2. Follow procedure indicated on page 46.
1. Revert position or substitute hammers, consult
page 44.
2. Always clean shredder after usage, especially
after chopping green crop.
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.
