M+ TRIMMING SYSTEM USE/SAFETYM+ TRIMMING SYSTEM USE/SAFETY
The M+ Trimming System consists of a Model M+ Trimmer with upgraded Automatic
Doors and a Rise Conveyor to feed it. The Trimmer’s main purpose is to trim the outer
leaves off of the cannabis flower, and the Rise Conveyor’s main purpose is to feed the
Trimmer with minimal input from the operator. It is designed to decrease the amount
of supervision by automating the loading process into the Trimmer and automating
the trimming process. The Trimmer and Rise Conveyor are designed to be used with
cannabis and hemp only – do not place any other products in these machines.
Be careful when operating these machines, although Safety Guards are in place there is
still a chance for injury.
The Trimmer Lid is designed to keep all objects except for cannabis out of the trimming
area. Do not operate the machine with the lid open. When the Trimmer Lid is open,
make sure there is nothing that could bump the Lid and cause it to fall.
Keep hands clear of the Automatic Doors when they are opening or closing. When in
automatic mode, the Doors will operate on their own and form pinch point as they open
and close.
The Side Walls and Hopper of the Rise Conveyor are designed to keep all hands,
jewelry, and any dangling objects clear of the belt. Do not operate the Rise Conveyor
without these safeguards. The machine should never be turned on without the belt
installed on the machine.
If any blockages or breakdown are to occur when operating the machine, stop the
machine using the HMI if possible. If not possible, use the Emergency Stop to cut power
to the machine. Before clearing the blockage, disconnect power from both machines
(if the doors were in the open state, wait for the doors to close). Once power has been
disconnected, investigate, clear the blockage, and resume operation.

OPERATION | SHUT DOWNOPERATION | SHUT DOWN
• Attach the Hopper to the Main Body (refer to the hopper installation guide on pages 6-7
• Install the belt and fully secure the interlocking laces of the belt.
o It is critical that the Locking Pin has been fully inserted and the Belt Loops secured.
• Extend the Toggle Clamps to tension the Belt.
o These allow the Belt to be tensioned and are adaptable for any stretching during the
belt’s use. A new Belt should have the screws fully threaded into the Toggle Clamp.
This is plenty of tension when the Toggle Clamps are extended fully and equally.
o If the Drive Gears at the top of the machine are slipping, try extending the bolts in the
Toggle Clamps to further tighten the Belt. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
• Attach the Primary Walls onto the Main Body.
o There should be little to no gaps between the bottom of these walls and the Belt.

POWERING AND OPERATIONPOWERING AND OPERATION
Start Up Screen:
• The first screen you will encounter is the screensaver.
o Touch the screen anywhere to get to the home page. From this page you can get to
the machine controls (start feeding button), view the run time of the machine (settings
button), or find GreenBroz contact information (help button).
Start Feeding Screen:
• From here, you can choose from two different run settings: Continuous Feed Control or Foot
Pedal Control. The Speed Control slide bar at the bottom can adjust the speed of the feed of
the Rise Conveyor from 0 to 2.5 kg. (5 lbs.) per minute.
o Continuous Feed Control: This mode is for nonstop feeding of material. Feeding will
begin after selecting the “ON” button.
o Foot Pedal Control: This mode is for increased operator control. With the provided
Foot Pedal, you can start and stop feeding at will. Plug in the Foot Pedal to the open
connection on the back of the Control Box and select the Foot Pedal control button.
You do NOT need to select “ON” for this mode, it will show a red light next to “OFF”
until the foot pedal is compressed.
844.DRY.TRIM [e-mail] greenbroz.com

SHUT DOWNSHUT DOWN
• To shut down the machine, select “OFF” from the “Start Feeding” page (if in Foot Pedal
mode, just release the Pedal) and then hit the Emergency Stop Button. From here you can
unplug the machine from the wall.
o It is recommended that before shutting the machine down completely that the
interlocking laces of the belt ends are fully visible and accessible for easy belt removal.
EMERGENCY STOPEMERGENCY STOP
• AT ANY TIME, THE EMERGENCY STOP CAN BE PRESSED AND ALL POWER WILL BE
REMOVED FROM ALL COMPONENTS.
o The Emergency Stop Button will have to be slightly turned clockwise to be released and
give power back to any part of the machine or Touch Screen.
• The Rise Conveyor should be running smoothly and with very minimal mechanical noises.
The Belt should not be dragging against or colliding with the Hopper, Plastic Guides, or any
of the Flanges or components on the underside of the machine.
• If at any time the machine begins to not function properly, like loud or unusual mechanical
sounds or if there are possible electrical issues, the first thing the operator should do is hit
the Emergency Stop and unplug the machine. Some examples of the issues that could arise
would be
• The Belt is not moving, this could be from Gears slipping on the Conveyor Belt,
mechanical drive chain issues, motor ceasing, or the motor not receiving power.
• The Belt has not been properly installed on the machine and is causing gear slipping or
Motor ceasing.
• The Hopper and Belt are colliding at the base where the Belt enters the Hopper, this
would be from improper installation of the Belt or Hopper.

CLEANING AND SANITIZATIONCLEANING AND SANITIZATION
It is recommended that all stainless-steel components be cleaned with 99% Isopropyl Alcohol.
All plastic components should be cleaned with soap and water. Both the Trimmer and Rise
Conveyor are built with an IP 66 rating meaning they can be pressure washed with high pressure
(using a 12.5 mm nozzle, 100 kPa at distance of 3 m). Before pressure washing the machines,
make sure to remove both Control Boxes and cap any connections.
There are surfaces on the frame and components of theRise Conveyor that should be paid
special attention to because they come in direct contact with your product or the product
side of the Belt whenever the machine is in use. These surfaces include but are not limited
to: the internal side of the Primary Walls (1), the internal side of the Secondary Walls (2), the
Lower Primary Walls (3), the internals of the Hopper (4), Shake Guards (not shown – see page
8, referenced as #3), the Frames Flanges (5), the Small Rollers (6) avoid getting any liquids
or debris inside the Bearings), and the inside of the Chain Guards (7). Isopropyl alcohol is
acceptable to use on the stainless steel surfaces only. Soap and water is to be used on any
plastic components. Please refer to the material data sheets for more detailed information on
acceptable cleaning products, handling, and the storage of these materials.
The Belt is a thermoplastic elastomer manufactured by Midwest Industrial Rubber, Inc. Please
see reference 1 at the end of this user manual for specific information regarding cleaning and
sanitizing your Rise Conveyor’s Belt.

If the operator finds that the Belt is excessively walking in one direction (i.e. riding
up on the white UHMW guides, excessive wear, etc.), the operator must stop the
machine and extend the one Toggle Clamp that is on the side that the excessive
walk is occurring. It is recommended to only do one rotation of the Toggle Bearing
at a time and restart the machine to remedy the walking issue. The below example
shows a Belt walking to the left and how to adjust using the Toggle Bearing.
Issue: Belt Walking
Once you have plugged the machine into the appropriate voltage wall outlet, there
are two possible reasons why the machine may not be receiving power:
1. Ensure the Emergency Stop is not enabled. Lightly turn the E-Stop clockwise. If this
was the issue, then the Touch Screen will immediately power up.
2. Check the fuses in the Control Box to make sure they have not blown. If they have,
they will need to be replaced.
Issue: No Power
If the Toggle Clamps have become stuck or locked up, just slightly rotate the
mechanisms either way along the extending axis and they will release.
Issue: Stuck Toggle Clamps
