GENERAL OPERATIONS

OPERATION OVERVIEW

• Lock out power and unplug machine before removing any covers, guards or chutes. Close

and secure the covers of the operator control boxes at each end of the machine before

attempting to clean the machine.

• The machine should be cleaned regularly and especially after every day of use or before

a prolonged time of storage, to keep all aspects of the machine functioning properly and

like new.

• It is best to remove any guards, chutes and safety panels for ease of access to the machine

internal areas and for the cleaning of the guards and safety panels, separate of the machine.

• If pressure washing equipment is used, extreme caution must be observed to direct blast

and spray away from electrical components, bearings, chains, etc. Water accumulation

in or around these parts may cause increased wear and damage to the machine, as well

as severe injury or death to anyone operating or nearby the machine when power is

returned to the unit (especially by electrical shock). All pressure washing of the machine

should be kept to a minimum, directed only to specic areas, or avoided completely due

to the potential hazards involved.

CLEANING & GENERAL MAINTENANCE

• Before operating the machine, a section of level ground, clear of debris, hazards and

obstructions should be selected. The machine should be disconnected from the towing vehicle

and leveled using the three leveling jack-screws provided with the machine. Failure to properly

level or support the machine can result in unsafe working conditions and should be avoided.

• Cut plants into single stems or shoots with 4-5 inches (10-12cm) of stem exposed at base of

branch or shoot.

• Ensure all guards are installed and safety precautions are met before powering on machine.

• Turn on power switch and variable speed controls to the desired speeds. Faster speeds work

best for wet material and slower speeds work best for dry material. The roller speed control

knob will “click” with each incremental increase in speed, allowing for precise replication of

roller speed whenever desired (3 clicks, 4 clicks, etc.).

• For best results, insert base of stem or shoot into smallest sized nozzle on faceplate that it will t

without jamming. Once stem or shoot engages rollers, let go and allow machine to draw stem

or shoot through face plate nozzle, removing all owers in the process.

• If a jam occurs, stop the machine with the emergency stop button, then reset the emergency stop

button by turning it to unlock. Restart the machine in the reverse direction to extract the jammed

stem or shoot. Once the jam is cleared, the speed control knob can be returned to the forward

direction for continued use. It is recommended that all jammed stems or shoots be cleared

immediately to keep from wearing rollers (which are not warranty covered against wear).

FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE AND LIFE, THE XL MEGABUCKER MUST BE CLEANED AFTER DAILY USE.

• If desired, bare metal parts removed from the machine may be cleaned with denatured,

or isopropyl alcohol. The use of proper safety equipment such as gloves and a face shield

is recommended.

• Rubber rollers are best cleaned by hand scrubbing with mild soap and water for longest

life. The use of solvents or other oil based products may severely damage rollers. Never

use harsh solvents, mineral spirits, or caustic cleaning materials to clean the rollers.

Rollers do wear out over time and are not covered under warranty.

• Use a light spray of drive chain oil on drive chains weekly.

• Grease “Zerk” ttings on bearing blocks annually and after every 40 hours of use to ensure

proper grease supply to roller shaft bearings.

6cprosolutions.com1 855 535 0558

HEMP &CANNABIS HARVESTING SOLUTIONS GENERAL OPERATIONS

• Like the two  xed speed conveyors, the variable speed conveyor is powered by its own 15amp

circuit breaker and will run in accordance with the settings of the variable speed control unit,

located in the forward operator control box (see  gure 2). This unit provides controls for

both speed and direction of the variable speed conveyor, allowing for fast or slow belt speed in

accordance with the number of operators present and their respective workload.

• To START the variable speed conveyor, momentarily press the RUN button and the variable

speed conveyor will begin to accelerate to its presently set speed.

• To INCRESE the speed of the conveyor, press and hold the UP arrow until the desired speed is

reached on the display panel (note: the conveyor speed may lag slightly behind the indicated

speed on the display panel, as the conveyor cannot speed up as quickly as the numbers on the

display). The indicated speed numbers allow for a reference that can be used to recreate belt

speeds which work for best e ciency with a given number of operators and material types.

• To DECREASE the speed of the conveyor, press and hold the DOWN arrow until the desired,

reduced speed of the conveyor is met. The conveyor will slow down more quickly than it speeds

up and the indicated speed will more closely match the actual speed during deceleration.

• To REVERSE the direction of the conveyor belt, momentarily press and release the R/F direction

button and then momentarily press and release the M input button. The belt direction can

be changed when the conveyor is either stopped or running. If the conveyor is running, it

will quickly slow down and then accelerate again in the reversed direction. To reinstate the

previous direction, repeat the outlined steps above.

• For further information regarding the use, programming and troubleshooting of the variable

speed conveyor belt, see the supplied manufacturers manual packed inside of the forward

operator control box of the machine from the factory.

• The two  xed speed conveyors for  ower and stem/shoot extraction are powered by a

single 15amp circuit breaker on the main power panel, shown in  gure 1. When power is

applied and this circuit breaker is on, the  xed speed conveyors will start automatically and

run continuously for as long as the main power switch is engaged. Unplugging the machine,

turning o the main power switch (power lockout) or turning o the 15amp circuit breaker will

shut o the  xed-speed conveyors. Note: the 15amp circuit breaker is for overload/emergency

protection only and should not be used as an “on/o ” switch for the  xed speed conveyors.

ROLLER MOTOR OVERVIEW & REPLACEMENT

1. Lock out the main power switch and unplug the machine from the power source.

2. Remove the main motor cover and chain guards as needed for access.

3. It will be necessary to slacken the tension on the drive chain via the chain adjuster sprocket

(see  gure 3).

4. Remove the auxiliary cooling fan from the back of the motor via the four #__ torx head screws.

It is not necessary to disturb any wiring to the auxiliary fan.

5. The clear plastic cover on the bottom of the motor must be removed via the four #__ torx

head screws.

6. With the cover removed, the three main power wires must be removed by loosening the two

clamp screws and ground connection shown in  gure C.

7. Unplug the blue cable from its respective connection port by squeezing the unlock lever and

pulling it from the port.

8. The two bulkhead connection nuts must be loosened and removed and the wiring withdrawn

from the motor.

9. The four 3/8” bolts securing the gearbox/motor assembly to the machine may now be removed

and the motor lifted o the machine. Care must be taken, as the motor/gearbox assembly is

very heavy and di cult to handle. Additionally, the drive chain will still be engaged to the drive

sprocket on the end of the gearbox and must be lifted o prior to the motor being removed.

10. With the motor removed, it may be separated from the gearbox assembly by removing the

four 3/8” bolts from around the periphery of the gearbox to motor junction.

11. If necessary, the chain drive sprocket can be removed from the gearbox by using an X/X hex

wrench to loosen the securing set-screw and withdrawing the sprocket from the output shaft.

12. Reassembly is the reverse of removal, with the following important points noted.

• Be sure to replace and center all keys within their respective keyways before tightening securing

screws or bolts.

• The chain drive sprocket must be aligned with the other three sprockets over which the chain

rides to keep the chain riding true and without binding. This should be done after securing the

gearbox to the machine and before securing the sprocket to the shaft via the X/X set screw.

STEPS TO REPLACE THE MOTOR

The motors used for powering the rollers are an advance design with integral power supply and

factory programmed control module. These motors are not designed to be user serviceable and

the included  rmware is proprietary to the machine and manufacturer. Alterations will void the

warranty and may result in severe injury or death. End user service should be limited to the

removal and replacement of the motor and gearbox only. Neither the manufacturer nor its agents

or representatives assume responsibility for improperly assembled components or alterations

made to the original design or manufacturer of the machine after service has been performed.

If you have any questions, we recommend you consult a certi ed electrical technician to do this

job for you.

GENERAL OPERATIONS

STEPS TO REPLACE THE ROLLER

The rollers used are the result of extensive research and development and feature a specialized, abrasion resistant rubber of optimal durometer hardness, best suited to the hemp and cannabis

industries. While exhaustive research has shown this material to be the least wearing (while still giving excellent grip and performance), it is not indestructible, and just like the rubber tires on your car,

will not last forever. Because of this, we cannot oer a warranty on our rollers. Roller replacement is an extensive task, but not one beyond most mechanics in the eld. The following steps should guide

you on proper roller replacement procedures.

ROLLER OVERVIEW & REPLACEMENT

1. Lock out the main power switch and unplug the machine from the power source. (Figure 1)

2. Remove all the chutes, guards and safety panels necessary to gain full access to the rollers, bearing blocks

and drive chains.

3. Slacken the chain adjuster sprocket and remove the roller sprockets from the roller shafts. It will be

necessary to loosen the two X/X set screws from each sprocket before removing the sprockets from the

roller shafts. The chains can then be removed from the machine to give full access to the bearing blocks

(see Figures 3 and 4)

4. Remove the 8 X/X sized hex head securing screws from each roller coupler before removing the coupler

halves from the roller shafts. Each coupler unit has two keys to couple it to the roller shaft, which must be

retained for reassembly.

5. The top rollers can now be removed by removing the four bearing block securing bolts and nuts, and then

lifting the rollers free from the machine. It is advisable to have help with this operation, as the rollers are

very heavy and two or more people are needed to safely remove and replace them.

6. With all the top rollers free, the lower rollers are removed in the same manner.

7. After removing the rollers from the machine, the two X/X set screws securing each bearing block to the roller

shaft can be loosened and the bearings removed from the shafts.

8. Slide bearings over roller shafts with the collar facing inward. Do not tighten the securing set screws at

this time.

9. Install the lower roller rst, being sure to center each one between the bearing blocks. The bolts and nuts

securing the bearing blocks should be only tightened enough to take up the slack at this point.

10. With all the lower rollers positioned in place. The shaft alignment should be checked by using a long straight

edge or string pulled against the top or bottom of the rollers. If the roller shafts are not aligned, adjustment

can be made by raising or lowering each bearing block as needed. A x/x hex head adjustment screw is

located under each lower roller bearing block to make this adjustment very precise. (see Figure 5)

11. With roller shafts aligned and each roller centered between the bearing blocks, tighten the bearing block

nuts completely, so as not to come un-tight in use.

12. Tighten the bearing collar set screws at this time. (see Figure 6)

13. Attach the top rollers, again leaving the bearing block bolts and nuts just tight enough to eliminate

sloppiness, but with freedom of moment vertically.

14. Carefully roll an xxx” thick shim (easily made from card stock or layers of paper) in-between the top and

bottom rollers on each end simultaneously and tighten the bearing block securing nuts and bolts fully.

This allows for very slight running clearance and free movement of the upper and lower rollers for ease of

assembly when installing the drive chain.

15. The roller shaft coupler can now be installed between each roller set. Be sure to center and install the keys

in the keyways before tightening the 8 hex head screws evenly.

16. Reinstall the chain to the motor sprocket before installing the roller drive sprockets.

17. Install each roller drive sprocket into the chain as you install them on their respective shafts.

18. The roller drive sprockets must align with the adjuster sprocket, so as to keep the chain from being pulled

sideways, bending or kinking. (see Figure 7)

19. The xx” key must be installed in each roller drive sprocket and set ush with the face of the sprocket,

before the drive sprocket securing set-screws are tightened.

20. The drive chain must now be tensioned via the adjuster sprocket to give only minor slack when the long

side is deected.

21. Once the correct tension is achieved, secure the adjuster sprocket by fully tightening the xx/” bolt and nut.

22. Replace all guards, chutes and safety panels before testing or operating unit.

PLANT PREPPING

Directions for cleaning:

1. Make sure Bucker is turned o

2. Using provided tools, remove Front Plate and Back top plate

3. Wipe down front plate liberally with isopropyl alcohol

4. Wipe down using a soft cloth, making sure the machine is dry completely

5. Clear out any debris from within the Bucker

6. Spray rollers liberally with isopropyl alcohol

7. Wipe down using a soft cloth, making sure the machine is dry completely

8. Reassemble according to "Cleaning and Maintenance" section

The XL MegaBucker is a precision machine. It is essential that it is operated and maintained

with this in mind. The machine has been adjusted and tested by the manufacturer prior to

shipping to ensure optimal performance. However, it is important to inspect the machine at

initial start-up and after each use to ensure that no damage or plant material build-up has

occurred and that the rollers spin freely.

In addition, it is highly recommended to clean the machine at the end of every use. This

ensures that resin does not build-up and aect performance. This is especially important if

the machine has been stored for an extended period of time.

Resins and other plant by-products will build up and harden, becoming dicult to remove.

Cold water is recommended to spray on rollers during harvest to reduce build-up.

MACHINE MAINTENANCE

PREPPING YOUR PLANT:

2 STEPS FOR OPTIMAL PROCESSING

Inspection of the XL MegaBucker should be conducted prior to each use

following the disassembly section on page 6 and these steps:

1. Unplug the XL MegaBucker and visually inspect all of the components for wear, damage and

plant matter build-up.

2. Remove the front plate and back top plate. See "Cleaning and Maintenance" section

for instructions.

3. Inspect the rollers for damage or cracking.

4. Ensure the rollers spin freely

5. Visually inspect the and ensure the XL MegaBucker is free of loose debris.

INSPECTION

A thorough cleaning of the XL MegaBucker should be performed after each use. Any resin

build-up on the machine attracts more resin, compounding the problem. Build-up can cause

decreased performance, overheating and could trip your circuit breaker. Future cleaning also

becomes more dicult if build-up is given a chance to dry out and harden. Operating the

Bucker in a cold environment will also reduce resin build-up.

After removing front and back plates, rollers can be cleared using hot water, or wiped

with isopropyl alcohol. Repeat 2-3 times to soften the resin, then powerwash to remove

debris. Any stubborn areas, may require scrubbing with a plastic scraper (do not use a metal

scraper). Plant matter build-up is the most obvious sign that more attention is needed in a

particular area. Dry the machine with compressed air or a soft cloth.

CLEANING

• There are a series of holes located on the front of the top plate for bucking

• Stems are fed through the holes of the machine by hand

• Each plant must have 3 inches of base stem to clear the buckers

• Please note all strains run dierently and denser strains may need the top colas

taken o before being run through the machine.

NOTE

• Tool kit provided with Bucker

• Brush / Plastic scraper

• Spray bottle lled with isopropyl alcohol

• Soft cloths

MATERIALS NEEDED

1) ENVIRONMENT PREPARATION

• Ensure adequate space

• Review electrical requirements

• Have adequate bins for product transport

• Cooler temperatures in processing room is benecial

2) PLANT PREPARATION

• Cut main stalk

• Seperate each individual stem (no 'Y' junctions)

• Leave 3" of stem for clearance into machine

• Ensure clean angled cuts for precise feeding

• Keep prepped product stem side up for eciency

• Size the stem to t the ideal hole

• Feed end rst into machine

• Use variable speed control to adjust ow

MOISTURE CONTENT

• Moisture content is critical for ensuring

minimal damage to the  ower

• Flower that is too dry will fall apart

• Flower that has too much moisture will

compact and dent

• For best results with dry bucking, moisture

content should be between 12% and 14%

when using a machine

BUD CONSISTENCY

• Buds should be "springy"- when the  ower

is squeezed between two  ngers it will

rebound and return to its original shape

• Both big and smaller stems must be pliable

when bucking with a machine such as a XL

MegaBucker System

• Pliable stems ensures that they fold and

are stripped upon entering the bucking

machine. If too brittle, they will simply

break oﬀ and will not be properly stripped

MACHINE SPEED

• Slowing the machine speed for dry bucking

will lead to a better result

• Dry bucking at 1/2 or 1/3 of the regular

speed will ensure better results

• The variable speed control oﬀ ered by our

XL MegaBucker is a great feature when

bucking dry material

HEMP &CANNABIS HARVESTING SOLUTIONS

HOW EASY IS IT TO CLEAN?

Our machines can be taken apart and cleaned within 10-15 minutes. The Bucker must be cleaned after daily use. Just spray the rollers liberally with isopropyl alcohol, then wipe with a soft cloth. We recommend to clean

every 4-6 hours of use, but it depends on your strain. We know the importance of down time during a harvest so we wanted to make this process extremely quick and easy

DO YOUR MACHINES WORK ON WET OR DRY MATERIAL?

All CenturionPro Buckers can run both wet and dry to t your processing needs.

ARE YOUR MACHINES BUILT TO AN INDUSTRIAL STANDARD?

We do not compromise quality for cost savings. All CenturionPro Solutions machines are composed of the highest quality materials available and each machine is put through a comprehensive quality control inspection.

We only use brand name components in the build out of our machines which enables us to have the comfort in giving you an industry leading warranty on all machines. With proper maintenance these machines will

last you for years to come.

WHAT IS THE OPTIMAL ROOM TEMPERATURE TO TRIM?

Use your CenturionPro Bucker in 50-60 °F (10- 15 °C) room to get the best performance. Cooler temperatures prevent excessive sticking to machine components.

MY MACHINE IS NOT WORKING LIKE IT DID WHEN IT WAS NEW, WHY?

Make sure to fully clean the machine and rollers. If the machine is clean and the rollers are free of debris, then your machine should buck exactly like it was new.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WE ARE OPEN MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY FROM 9AM TO 5PM PST - PH: 1-855-535-0558

FILLING OUT THE “CONTACT US” FORM ON THE WEBSITE, IS ANOTHER SURE WAY TO GET IN TOUCH.

1) MOTOR IS VERY HOT

The motor is designed to operate at higher temperatures, avoid contact with the motor during regular operation. The motor is thermally fused and will shut down automatically if overheating occurs

2) MACHINE IS JAMMED, OR MISFED WITH PLANT MATTER

Occasionally stems or shoots may become wrapped around rollers and can pack up behind the face plate of the machine. If this occurs, the machine may labor to operate or stop the rollers completely due

to an overloaded condition. To remedy this problem we recommend the machine be powered down and electrically locked out. The face plates can then be removed and the jammed stems cleared. Once

cleared, replace all faceplates and guards before unlocking and re-engaging power to the machine for further operation.

3) THERE IS A GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE MACHINE

This can be caused by worn out bearings, misaligned gears or improperly installed components. If the pull-wheels were recently replaced / cleaned; then it is likely an alignment issue, otherwise the

bearings are damaged and need replacement.

4) THE PULL FORCE SEEMS WEAK

This could be caused by excessive debris build-up in the rollers. Disassemble, clean and inspect machine to determine the issue.

5) ROLLERS ARE SLIPPING

Slipping occurs if the motor reaches it's torque limit, or the roller friction has been reduced. Roller friction can be reduced by feeding excessively wet material or if any lubricants accidentally get on the

roller. Check to see if the rollers are dry and clean.

When using the machine with freshly harvested or “wet” product, the rollers may become loaded with residue and lose their ability to grab and pull stems or shoots through the faceplate nozzles. Likewise, if the

same exact nozzle is used repeatedly by an operator, buildup of residue will occur on the roller segment at that specic nozzle. Therefore, we recommend operators vary the use of the dierent nozzles presented

to them as they work. When harvests are made in the rain, it is best to remove the excess water from the stems or shoots before being fed to the machine, to decrease roller wetness and increase eciency.

6) WHAT SPEED SHOULD I USE FOR WET MATERIAL?

We recommend a faster speed for wet product and a slower speed for dry.

7) DOES THE STEM HAVE TO BE A CERTAIN LENGTH TO FEED TO THE BUCKER?

Yes, there must be 3 inches of base stem to clear the cutters.

8) DO I NEED A SPECIAL OUTLET FOR THE BUCKER?

CenturionPro Buckers can be plugged into any standard 110V wall outlet (220V AUS/EU).

9) DOES THE XL MEGABUCKER WORK BEST WITH A PARTICULAR STRAIN?

XL MegaBuckers can handle any strain, but please note that all strains run dierently and denser strains may need the top colas taken o before being run.
