Make sure that the red stop button is in the released position (pulled out), then
plug the M108 in by inserting and twisting the plug.
Now you’ll want to press the green START button.
Check to see that all 3 variable speed knobs are pressed in and turned all the
way to the left (counter clockwise)
Ensure that all 4 casters are in the locked position. Otherwise, install your input hopper and output chute.
The following steps outline the process for operating your M108. You can also view videos of these steps on our website in the Mobius Academy.
Ensure that the Tumbler air pressure is between 130 and 140psi.
If using conveyors, place your conveyor sensor override pucks on the bumpers.*

To shut down, press the red stop button in. The LED lights in the lid will turn red.
When restarting from here, the operator can simply release the red stop button
and then press the green button. All previous settings will resume.
When the Trim Tote is full, the Mobius will automatically shut off and the working
lights in the lid will turn to red indicating there is a fault. Empty the Trim Tote (refer
to Step 4 in Assembly section) and resume trimming by pushing the green button.
STEP 10.
STEP 11.
OPERATIONS
Turn the separator fan / tri-ex blades / tumbler on by pulling out each knob and
adjusting to desired setting.
Start feeding plant material into the input hopper while watching the output to
determine how fast to feed the hopper. (Note: to achieve a faster pass through the
tumbler, increase the feed rate, increase the tilt angle, or a combination of both.)
STEP 09.
Lower the tilt lift legs so they just touch the oor.

ASSEMBLY
Disassembly and assembly of the Mobius Trimmer M108 is easy, and requires no tools. Follow along in this step by step document as we show you how it’s done.
Keep a good grip until just before your hand is going to get pinched, then slide it
the rest of the way making sure it’s sitting on the guide rails at the top.
Lift up on the separator lever to lock it into place.
Next, you’ll slide the Trim Tote back into place on the separator.
Plug in the Trim Tote sensor wire to the body of the M108. Take note- the plug is
NOT omni-directional.
Notice the holes on the top of the fan housing assembly. These correspond to the
rails on the bottom of the unit. Slide the fan housing back into place on the rails.
A good tip here- brace the Trim Tote with your knee while you pull up on the levers
to lock it into place.
Next, we’ll install the AirThread Tension Tumbler. The smooth end goes in rst. Slide
the tumbler through the lid.
The small n on the end of the tumbler will t just under the schrader valve.

Replace the rst blue tumbler retaining ring. A tip: pull the tumbler towards you with
your ngers on the inside, while rotating the bracket with your thumbs. Next replace the helical blades. The gear side of the helical blades will t the gear side of the machine. Make sure they are seated properly.
Rotate the tumbler so that the wires are as straight as possible.
Attach the second tumbler retaining ring.
Attach your pump to the schrader valve. Give it two or three pumps, then rotate
the tumbler back and forth 2-3 times, to ensure that the bearings will run smoothly.
Inate the tumbler to between 130 - 140 psi.
Next, snap the tumbler brush back into place, and close the lid.

STEP 10.
Then, you’ll replace the spacer bars…
… and the bedknives. Each one has a pin on one side, that will only allow them
to be installed one direction. Remember, there are no bolts required and no
adjustments necessary.
