OPERATION PREP
CONTROL PANEL OVERVIEW
Please take the following steps to conrm the MBX BUCKER is ready to operate:
• Complete a thorough inspection of the equipment to ensure no damage occurred during
shipment
• Conrm the power cord is in good condition
• Ensure the front die plate is installed and properly secured
• Ensure all guarding is properly installed and is in good working condition
E-STOP - Emergency stop button – stops all moving
parts on the device.
START/CHIP – Energizes the electrical panel
and starts the integrated chipper (if equipped).
Note: This button will be illuminated when in
operation.
FORWARD – Initiates forward roller direction for
normal operation.
REVERSE - Initiates reverse roller direction for
removing stems.
STOP – Stops infeed motor. Note: Under normal
conditions, rollers do not need to be stopped when
toggling between forward and reverse direction.
SPEED – Turn dial to adjust roller speed to desired
rate.
ON/OFF - Enables or disables power to the machine. In the vertical position, the machine is on.

MACHINE START UP SEQUENCE
CLEARING OBSTRUCTIONS: REVERSE ROLLER DIRECTION
1. Ensure the front die plate is properly installed.
2. Ensure the e-stop is disengaged.
3. Press the start/chip button to turn on the machine and start the chipper (if equipped). When
active, the start/chipper button will be illuminated.
4. Press the forward button to initiate forward roller direction (normal operating mode).
5. Turn speed dial to desired speed.
6. INSPECT WASTE CHUTE. A plugged waste chute can ultimately result in roller damage that is not
covered under warranty. Ensure chipped stems pass through the waste chute properly.
In the event a stem becomes caught in the machine, roller direction can be reversed to release it.
The operator MUST reverse roller direction to release caught stems as prolonged operation with an
obstruction will result in roller damage that is not covered under warranty. To release a caught stem
while the machine is in operation:
1. Press the reverse button. Roller direction will reverse releasing the caught stem. It is not necessary
to stop roller direction prior to pressing the reverse button.
2. Allow the machine to eject the stem. Use caution.
3. Once the stem is fully released and in hand, press the forward button to return roller direction
to forward for normal operation.
4. Inspect ejected stem to determine if it is suitable to feed into the machine. If so, insert stem. If
not, dispose.

ANY SETUP, MAINTENANCE, OR CLEANING TASKS
SET-UP & ADJUSTMENTS
The MBX BUCKER typically requires no set-up or adjustments under normal operating conditions.

If the rollers do not draw stems into the machine, or following a device rebuild or roller replacement,
the rollers must be tensioned to ensure proper preload.
1. Ensure the machine is de-energized and all power sources are disconnected
2. Remove the main guard plate to access internal machinery
3. Loosen roller tensioner locking bolts
4. Loosely snug roller tensioner bolts and ensure rollers are level
5. Tighten roller tensioner bolts an additional four turns on each side
6. Tighten roller tensioner locking bolts
7. Replace all guards prior to testing operation
In the event of poor chipper performance (stems are not fully sheared or are bent but not cut) a
chipper blade adjustment may be required
1. Ensure the machine is de-energized and all power sources are disconnected
2. Remove the rear guard
3. Loosen blade adjustment locking bolts
4. Using two blade adjustment bolts, adjust bed knife on each side until rotor knife and bed knife
are as close as possible without interference
5. Tighten blade adjustment locking bolts
6. Replace all guards prior to testing operation
The machine is easy to move and rolls on level surfaces. The machine includes four locking swivel
casters that are installed at the factory. The machine is designed to be operated on smooth and
level oors.
If lifting is required, the Mobius MBX Bucker must be lifted using a forklift on the lower structural frame
between the casters. Ensure that the forks are fully spread to avoid overturning or ipping off the forks.

CLEANING
With the exception of the motor, gearbox and electrical enclosure, the MBX BUCKER can be washed,
cleaned, and wiped down with normal detergents, degreasers, and disinfectants.
The front die plate and rear chipper cover may be removed to facilitate cleaning. The inside of the
MBX BUCKER can be washed and wiped as needed.
The exterior of the MBX BUCKER should never be hosed or sprayed. Evidence of water near the motor,
conduit, electrical panel, or gearbox could void the machine warranty.
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
1. Shut down the machine, disconnect all power sources and lock out (if applicable). Ensure that
the Bucker is always de-energized when working within.
2. Remove the front dieplate to expose the rolls.
3. Remove the rear Lexan window to expose the chipper assembly.
4. Using hot water, spray or pressure wash the interior of the machine. Use caution not to
pressure wash the rolls directly, as the high pressure jet may damage the rolls.
NOTE: The electrical panel and rear of the Bucker should never be hosed or sprayed directly.
Use caution not to spray near the motors or into the vents in the rear of the Bucker.
5. Generously apply a detergent to the dieplate, Lexan window, rolls, chipper assembly, stock
chute and all other internal components. We recommend Super Clean and Resin8 Xtra.
6. Allow the detergent to soak in up to 20 minutes and break down the resinous plant material.
Brush any areas that are heavily soiled using a stiff plastic bristle brush.
7. Rinse the entire interior of the machine using hot water spray or pressure wash. Use caution not
to pressure wash the rolls directly.
8. Inspect for any remaining plant material and repeat detergent, scrub and rinse as necessary.
9. Reinstall the front dieplate and rear lexan cover, power up the machine and operate rolls for a
few seconds.
10. Repeat steps 1 - 8 to ensure no additional plant material is remaining.
11. Sanitize rolls or other internal components if desired using Shyield or ISO.
12. Wipe the exterior of the Bucker using a detergent to remove any plant material.
13. Sanitize the dieplate, Lexan cover and exterior components if desired using Shyield or ISO.
14. Complete one nal inspection, then reinstall the dieplate and Lexan cover to prepare for use.
DO NOT SPRAY
MAINTENANCE
The MBX BUCKER is largely maintenance-free.
We recommend that the front die plate be removed regularly to conrm stems are not building up
inside the unit.
We recommend removing the front die plate and rear cover daily to ensure all debris are removed
from the inside of the machine.
We recommend removing the front die plate and rear cover from the main machine to:
1. Ensure all debris are removed from the inside of the machine
2. Verify the oil level in each gearbox. Add 2-4 pumps of FDA-approved white lithium grease to
each bearing.
