KIEF & TRIM COLLECTION
Kief is becoming wildly popular due to the rise of extractions. Unfortunately, machines that require
sprays can contaminate and destroy your Kief, making it virtually useless. Thankfully, CenturionPro
o ers an optional non-stick Quantanium coating on the tumblers. This means no spray is needed, so
your Kief remains 100% pure and usable. To further bene t growers, we developed a new triple-bag
 ltration system. This system will assist with Kief collection and separating it from your trim. This allows
you to safely and easily collect the precious trichomes for further processing and pro ts. With your
machine, you will see that you have a Black Mesh Bag, a White Filter Bag, and an Outer Polyester Bag.
The Black Mesh Bag goes inside the White Filter Bag, which then goes inside the Outer Polyester Bag.

MACHINE MAINTENANCE
ELECTROPOLISHED
DUAL-PURPOSE
HYBRID TUMBLER
The Gladiator's are precision machines. It is essential that they be 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 blades spin freely.
In addition, it is highly recommended to clean the machine after every day of use. This ensures that the blades are kept lubricated and 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.
Cold water is recommended to spray on blades during harvest. If optional Quantanium coating is chosen, the machine will not require any lubricants or sprays. The application of which will only damage
or alter the  nal product and will not assist with the cutting process. In fact, it may hinder it.
• Begin by hanging the entire plant, leaving the leaf on. Starting with 30% humidity at 60-65 degrees Fahrenheit for 24 hours, raising the humidity to 50-60% for another  ve to six days.
• Next, carefully cut all your  owers o the main stocks of the plant, leaving only  owers and leaves in tact. Then, depending on the density of the  owers, it should be ready to run through the machine.
• The buds should be about 80-90% dry, which allow the fan leaf and sugar leaf to remain somewhat PLIABLE/BENDY, in a soft and  exible state. If the larger leaf is too dry and brittle (which makes
it more di cult for the machine to pull this sti er leaf through the slots of the drum, preventing a clean, sharp cut) raise the humidity up to 75% for about half a day to a full day. This, remarkably,
softens up the unwanted leaf while returning almost no additional moisture to the main body of the buds.
THIS METHOD WILL ALLOW VIRTUALLY NO ADDITIONAL
MOISTURE BACK TO THE INNER BUD/FLOWER. THE
MOISTURE WILL ONLY SOFTEN UP THE OUTER LEAVES.
THE LEAVES MUST BE SOFT AND
PLIABLE FOR THE DRY TRIMMER TO
BE EFFECTIVE.
NOTE 1:CRITICAL: NOTE 2:
IT IS CRITICAL FOR THE UNWANTED LEAVES TO BE SOFT AND BENDY FOR THIS MACHINE TO
PREFORM A CLEAN PERFECT CUT. WE ALSO RECOMMEND USING A HUMIDIFIER OR A WATER
BOTTLE WITH A MISTING NOZZLE TO RE-INTRODUCE A SMALL AMOUNT OF MOISTURE TO THE
UNWANTED LEAVES BEFORE RUNNING THE FLOWERS THROUGH THE MACHINE.
TRIM BOTH WET + DRY
All CenturionPro trimming machines are specially designed to trim both wet and
dry material better than any other machine on the market. Our Dual-Purpose
Hybrid Tumbler has been extensively tested to outperform both the traditional wet
tumbler when trimming wet and the traditional dry tumbler when trimming dry.
This CenturionPro innovation allows you to switch between wet and dry material.
This is a major bene t because you can purchase one machine and still have the
capability to trim wet or dry  owers.
See our dry trimming tips below for more details.
TRIMMING DRY? HERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT TIPS!
CENTURIONPRO
DUAL-PURPOSE HYBRID TUMBLER
After running the buds through the machine the chances are they are ready to bag up! All that might be necessary is a quick test after the bag has been sealed by opening it back up to air them out a
bit to achieve the perfect moisture content (curing process). You may prefer to run the machine with the plastic cover o , and diverter almost open (this varies depending on the density of the strain).
Please note the machine operates best when the tumbler is 40-60% full. A huge bonus to the DRY trimming method is that the machine will require almost no periodic cleaning, as the tumblers and
blades will not gum up and therefore not reduce performance. The main advantage of DRY trimming is said to be better preservation of all the strong natural aromas and  avours after the harvesting
process is complete.
MONTHS OF WORK CAN BE RUINED IN A FEW HOURS AT THE END SO PLEASE BE PATIENT AND TAKE YOUR TIME WITH THE HARVESTING AND CURING PROCESS.
DESIGNED FOR BOTH WET + DRY TRIMMING

WHAT IS QUANTANIUM?
Quantanium is a multi-coat non-stick coating that incorporates a unique mix of
titanium particles. These particles are blended into the coating that stands up to
almost anything and makes the tumbler resistant to scratching. The outstanding
release is provided by silicone, not PTFE. All of our Quantanium coated tumblers
are made without PTFE/PFOA.
WHY DO WE USE QUANTANIUM?
HIGHER POTENCY HARVEST
The non-stick properties of the Quantanium tumbler prevents precious trichomes
from adhering the tumbler surface without the need for sprays. This results in the
end product having a better visual appearance while maintaining its strong natural
aroma and  avors. Overall, this results in a better-quality end product as the
natural properties are preserved during the harvesting and trimming processes.
SAVE TIME = SAVE MONEY
Another bene t of the Quantanium tumbler is that it speeds up the harvesting
process since no downtime is required to stop and clean the tumblers throughout
the day. A simple wipe down with a cloth and warm water will remove the small
amount of residue that may be present.
HOW TO CLEAN THE QUANTANIUM TUMBLER
When cleaning the Quantanium tumbler, we recommend that you DO NOT
pressure wash it. This will cause the coating to  ake and come o . Treat the
tumbler the same way you would treat a non-stick pan at home by letting it soak
in warm, soapy water. After letting it soak, rinse the tumbler and then wipe it with
a soft, clean cloth.
In extreme cases, residue can be removed by a thorough cleaning with 3 TBSP of
vinegar, 1 TBSP liquid dish detergent and 1 cup of water. Apply with sponge or
plastic scrubbing pad, then completely rinse with warm water.
DO NOT USE AUTOMOTIVE DEGREASERS.
While the Quantanium surface is designed to stand up to rough treatment, non-
stick surfaces last longer if you are careful not to rub or touch them with metal
surfaces or sharp objects. Remember that sensible care of your Quantanium
tumbler will ensure it lasts for many years.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
- DO NOT PRESSURE WASH
- SOAK IN WARM SOAPY WATER, RINSE & WIPE

TROUBLESHOOTING
MY PRODUCT IS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF MY TUMBLER AND WILL NOT COME OUT THE OTHER END.
1) The tumbler should always be 40%-60% full. You should be feeding the tumbler every 30-60 seconds; this will ensure that new product entering the machine will help
push out product that is trimmed. This constant  ow of product will also help with your processing capacity.
2) You can also increase the downward slope of the machine. To do this place a piece of cardboard or wood underneath the input side wheels/legs. Before turning the
machine ensure that the machine is level and sturdy.
3) Try opening the Diverter fully and/or removing the plastic top cover. This will increase the air  ow and decrease the suction, allowing product to pass through quicker.
MY LEAF COLLECTOR IS NOT TURNING ON.
1) Ensure the correct voltage is being supplied as per your manual and never use an extension cord longer than 25 ft. Using an extension longer than 25 ft long will cause a
drop in power being supplied to the leaf collector. This can cause the motor to compensate for the lost power, therefore over heat and eventually burn out.
2) Test your electrical current to make sure it is producing power. We recommend having a certi ed electrician set up the proper power supply as noted on pg. 15. This will
ensure your power source is supplying the correct electricity. If you have not done this, have a certi ed electrician come and test your electrical current.
3) If you have tried all of the above, then your leaf collector’s capacitors or electrical box may need to be replaced. Ensure that you have a certi ed electrician install the parts
correctly. Also have them double check your power supply. If your power supply is inconsistent, the same problems will occur in the future.
MY TUMBLER IS SPINNING SLOWER THAN USUAL OR IS NOT SPINNING AT ALL.
1) Ensure that the tumbler is placed correctly in the grooves and there is no lubricant on the Tumbler O Rings (red o-rings on both sides of the tumbler). This will
cause the tumbler to slip in one spot rather than make a full rotation.
2) Ensure your Cam Follower's O Rings are in tact. You should NEVER run your machine without these. Cam Followers help guide the tumbler, without these your
tumbler and/or machine can incur damage.
THE LEAF COLLECTOR SUCTION SEEMS WEAK.
1) Ensure the correct voltage is being supplied as per your manual and never use an extension cord longer than 25 ft. Using an extension cord longer than 25 ft long will
cause a drop in power being supplied to the leaf collector. This can cause the motor to compensate for the lost power, therefore over heat and eventually burn out.
2) Test your electrical current to make sure it is producing power. We recommend having a certi ed electrician set up the proper power supply as noted on pg. 15. This will
ensure your power source is supplying the correct electricity. If you have not done this, have a certi ed electrician come and test your electrical current.
3) Ensure the leaf collector and surrounding parts are clean. Also ensure nothing is blocking the inlet or the outlet of the leaf collector. Often buildup of product around the
openings of the blower can cause weak suction. Be sure to clean the Kief Collection System, Impeller and the inside of the blower. Refer to pg. 9 for cleaning instructions.
THE PRODUCT IS NOT COMING OUT TRIMMED.
1) First, ensure that your machine is clean. Clean the Bed Bar Blade ( at blade), top and underneath every 3-4 hours of use. The Reel Blade (rotary blade) should be
cleaned every day of use. Think of the blades as a pair of scissors, if the blades are not clean the machine will not be able to do its job.
2) Secondly, ensure that the Bed Bar Blade is set close to the Reel Blade. The space between the two blades should be the same thickness as a single sheet of newspaper –
essentially, they should be skimming. Please refer to the video tutorial “Adjusting the Blade” on our website on how to set the Bed Bar Blade accurately. Again, think of the
blades as a pair of scissors, if the blades are too far away from each other they will not trim your product.
3) Lastly, ensure the suction from the Leaf Collector is working correctly. Make sure there are no air-leaks. Keep in mind that long extension cords result in a decrease in
performance of the machine and its components. If your machine has a hose or hoses, extend it as far as it will go and ensure it's as straight as possible.

OWNERS MANUAL
GLADIATOR
For more information or to watch our DIY video tutorials visit cprosolutions.com
MY MACHINE MOTOR IS HOT
1) Your machine may be overworking due to a voltage drop in your power supply. This can happen if you’re using an extension cord that is too long or undersized. You can
only use an extension cord with a maximum length of 25ft.
2) Use a voltage tester to test your electrical current to ensure you have the correct voltage. We recommend having a certied electrician come in and make sure
your power supply is consistent.
3) Having a motor on for an extended period can be the reason for overheating. Allow the motor to cool down by turning the machine o for an hour, every 5 hours of use.
MY LEAF COLLECTOR IS MAKING A LOUD BANGING NOISE
1) Ensure your blower is clean of debris and build up. Build up inside the blower and on the impeller can cause contact with the housing of the blower.
2) If cleaning the build up in your blower does not stop the noise, there may be a bend in your impeller. As such, you will need to purchase a new impeller to
replace the one in your leaf collector. To remove the impeller use ONLY a pulling tool. Refer to pg. 9 for instructions on how to properly remove the impeller.
THE CIRCUIT BREAKER KEEPS TRIPPING.
1) This is caused by a cord that is too long or undersized. Your cord must be no more than 25ft long and the same gauge of thickness as the main cord.
2) Also, ensure the machine is not sharing a circuit with other devices and the correct size breaker is present. Circuit sharing can signicantly decrease the power
being supplied to the devices therefore causing the breaker to trip.
3) Test your electrical current to make sure it is producing consistent power. We recommend having a certied electrician set up the proper power supply as
noted on pg. 15. This will ensure your power source is supplying the correct electricity. If you have not done this, have a certied electrician come and test your
electrical current to ensure it complies with the electrical requirements on pg. 15.
THERE IS A HIGH PITCH SCREECHING NOISE COMING FROM MY MACHINE.
1) Determine if the noise is coming from your reel bearings or brush assembly. Check your reel bearings to ensure they are greased suciently, Take a look at the video
tutorial “Packing the Bearings” on our website to help you with this. If the noise persists after you grease your bearings you will need to purchase and replace them. If the
noise is coming from your brush assembly, you will need to purchase and replace the brush bearings.
2) If the noise is coming from your leaf collector, you will need to replace the bearings in your leaf collector. Please contact our tech support for more details on this.
3) It is very important to ensure that after cleaning your machine, you run it for 10-15 mins to ensure there is no residual water around the bearings.
THERE IS A HIGH-SPEED TICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE BLADES.
1) The ticking sounds might be the bed bar blade and reel blade making slight contact. If the machine is producing a louder than usual ticking/banging sound, then turn o
the machine and inspect the blades. Ensure your blades are properly adjusted by following the video tutorial “Adjusting the Bed Bar Blade” on our website.
2) A n on the tumbler might be slightly protruding therefore causing slight contact with the bed bar blade. This will cause a ticking sound for every rotation the
tumbler does. Watch the video tutorial on our website called “Straightening the Drum”. Also ensure the blade is adjusted properly.
MY TUMBLER IS HOPPING AND/OR WOBBLING.
1) All tumbles are hand rolled and welded. None of our tumblers are cut from a perfectly cylindrical pipe, therefore the tumbler might appear as it is slightly
wobbling while the machine is on.
2) You might notice a slight hop to your tumbler every rotation. This is from the Red Tumbler O Ring. This should not aect the functioning of your machine.
However, if you notice the hop getting worse, you will need to replace this part.

HOW EASY IS IT TO CLEAN?
Our machines can be taken apart and cleaned within 15 minutes. Please see the detailed cleaning
instructions throughout this manual. Our Quantanium coating is similar to a Te on pan you would have
at home which is even easier to clean. Just submerge in warm water, let soak and then wipe with a soft
cloth. We recommend to clean every day 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
WHAT IS THE MAINTENANCE LIKE?
We have several video tutorials on our website with how to fully service your machine. These step by
step DIY videos make it very easy to do everything necessary to maintain your machine. All parts can be
ordered through any hydroponic store nationwide.
DO YOUR MACHINES TRIM WET OR DRY?
AllCenturionProtrimmingmachinesarespeciallydesignedtotrimbothwetanddrymaterialbetterthanany
othermachineonthemarket.OurDual-PurposeHybridTumblerhasbeenextensivelytestedtooutperform
both the traditional wet tumbler when trimming wet and the traditional dry tumbler when trimming dry.
This CenturionPro innovation allows you to switch between wet and dry material with just a few small
adjustments to your trimming system. This is a major bene t because you can purchase one machine
and still have the capability to trim wet or dry  owers.
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 in North America 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 a 10 year trimmer warranty. With proper
maintenance these machines will last you well over a decade.
WHAT IS THE OPTIMAL ROOM TEMPERATURE TO TRIM?
Use your CenturtionPro machine 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 blades. If the machine is clean, the blade is adjusted properly
and the leaf collector has full suction, then your machine should trim exactly like it was new.
WHY IS MY PRODUCT STICKING TO THE INSIDE OF THE TUMBLER?
If you  nd that product is sticking to the inside of the tumbler,  rst clean the tumbler. When you
reassemble it, make sure the top brush bristles are poking through 1/4" into the tumbler.
HOW MUCH PRODUCT SHOULD BE IN THE TUMBLER AT ONE TIME?
The tumbler should be 40-60% full when trimming.
