the manual, they ignore warning decals or do not use lock-
outs provided for their safety. This normally happens after
the person has become accustomed to the machinery.
In the initial start up and operation of the machinery, they
are cautious, they are very careful because they do not
understand the machine.
There must be at least two qualied and trained
operators at the work site. They must be positioned in
safe working locations, following safety procedures and

WARNING
SAFETY PROCEDURES
SMORACY, LLC BEAST RECYCLERS
CUTTERHEAD SECTION
The Beast Recycler will give you many hours of
production time with inexpensive repairs if you follow
the proper maintenance instruction in the operation
and part manual.
The following is one of the most important parts
to keep a preventative maintenance schedule
on. NEVER RUN THE MACHINE WITH THE
FOLLOWING FAILURES. THIS WILL CAUSE
SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR MACHINE AND
POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY TO OPERATORS.
The single most important thing to understand
is that bolts will come loose due to the pounding
and vibration of the machine. ALWAYS keep the
Cutterbody bolts tight (700 ft.-lbs.). Failure to do
so will cause premature wear to the Cutterbody.
Loose bolts could also cause the holder arm to
crack. Replace holder arms if the mounting holes
measure mare than 1.042”. ALWAYS use Smoracy,
LLC replacement parts. Using parts not made for
the machine could cause premature damage to the
machine. Unauthorized use of parts will void warranty.
ALWAYS keep Cutterteeth tight (675 ft.-lbs.). NEVER
allow the Cutterttooth to fall below 1/8” of carbide or
wear material. Replace immediately. ALWAYS keep
the optional Raker Inserts tight (376 ft.-lbs.). The
Cutterbody holder bolts should be 1/8” from the edge
of the arm. When clamping the Cutterbody be sure
the nut does not bottom out.
NOTE: It is a good practice to stop after 20 to 30
minutes of running new teeth and/or Cutterbodies
in order to retighten any loose nuts and bolts to their
specied torque.
Adjust the Infeed Conveyor Chain tension
daily. Incorrect adjustments will cause expensive
Cutterhead and Infeed Conveyor Chain damage.
Adjust per operation and parts manual. The Infeed
Conveyor Chain location must be 3/4” from the tip of
a new tooth. Measure from the end of the sprockets
of the chain head shaft.
START-UP PROCEDURES
1. Wear all applicable personal protective
equipment per ANSI and OSHA standards: hard
hat, gloves, eye protection, ear protection, etc.
2. Observe all safety procedures on decals, in
video tape and from manual.
3. Check inserts and Cutterbody bolts. Change
if necessary.
4. Inspect/replace axle dust caps, oil axles per

Normally accidents are caused by people making
mistakes. They do not read the manual, they ignore
warning decals or do not use lockouts provided for
their safety. This normally happens after the person
has become accustomed to the machinery. In the
initial start up and operation of the machinery, they
are cautious, they are very careful because they do
not understand the machine.
This equipment is intended for use by personnel
who are experienced with similar equipment. Always
operate safely. It is also recommended that someone
else is present while operating or servicing in case an
accident should occur. Never operate any machine
while under the inuence of drugs or alcohol.

DANGER
Do not work on the machine if the engine is running
with the clutch disengaged. A clutch can self engage
if either the pilot or throw-out bearing happens to seize
to the main output shaft.
There are various types of clutches (PTO’s)
available for this type of equipment. Make sure to
study the original clutch manufacturer’s manual that
isprovided with themachine and followits instructions
for operation, service, and adjustments. Some styles
require clutch engagement to be maintained so that it
takes a lot of force, others will require very little force,
and some are push button, electric, manual lever, or
hydraulic activation. Each different style clutch (PTO)
is a very expensive item that will fail if not correctly
maintained and adjusted. It will be quite costly if a
few minutes are not taken daily, weekly, and monthly
to keep the clutch serviced as required.
The operator must take care in the engagement
and disengagement of the clutch, engine RPM should
always be below 1000 RPM. When the engine has
sufciently warmed up, bump the clutch handle against
engagement to start the cutterhead turning. This will
have to be repeated until the cutterhead is turning at
proper ratio with engine RPM. Then push the handle
all the way in gear until it locks into position securely.
After engagement raise engine RPM to full throttle.
Engaging and disengaging the clutch at high engine
RPM will quickly and excessively wear out clutch plates
as well as bearings. Refer to clutch manufacturer’s
manual for proper service and operation.
DANGER
Never work under or around the feedwheel without
rst disengaging clutch, turning off engine, waiting for
the cutter head to come to a complete stop, turning
battery disconnect switch off, and make sure the
ignition key is in your possession. Some maintenance
requires that you work under the feedwheel while it is
in the raised position. The feedwheel yoke assembly
is equipped with two safety devices that must be put
in place before work commences.
1. Yoke Lock Pins:
With the engine running, clutch disengaged, and the
cutterhead completely stopped, raise the feedwheel
yoke to its maximum height using the feedwheel yoke
manual control valve. Install the yoke lock pins in
the yoke lock holes or locate the hydraulic yoke lock
valve and pull the lever. The hydraulic yoke lock pins
located on top of the cutterhead housing will extend
or engage.
2. Safety Chain:
Now use the safety chain attached to the discharge
belt conveyor rest / feedwheel lift cylinder mount and
secure it to the lugs located on the feedwheel yoke.
With the safety devices in place lower the feedwheel
yoke until it contacts the yoke lock pins and the safety
chain pulls tight. Disengage clutch, turn off engine,
wait for the cutterhead to come to a complete stop,
turn battery disconnect switch off, and make sure the
ignition key is in your possession. For added safety
it is a good practice to use an additional chain to help
support the feedwheel yoke to the discharge belt
conveyorrest / feedwheellift cylindermount. Whenall
safety devices are in place you may start performing
maintenance to the machine.
Do Not feed this machine with the top feedwheel
pinned, blocked or secured in the open position.
Avoid moving parts. Keep hands, feet, and clothing
away from power driven parts. Keep all guards and
shields in place and properly secured.
DANGER
Stay away from the feedwheel and cutterhead
areas. Never stand close to the feedwheel assembly
while the machine is running. Never attempt to do
work on or near a raised feedwheel without making
sure all safety devices are secured. Always install or
engage the yoke lock pins, and use the safety chain to
secure the feedwheel assembly to the discharge belt
conveyor rest / feedwheel lift cylinder mount. Follow
proper shut down procedures before beginning any
type of maintenance to the recycler.

The machine was built with a cutterhead hood
engine disable plug which disables the engine if it is
not installed properly with the cutterhead hood in the
closed position. Correctly installed and maintained, the
engine will not start or it will shut off if the cutterhead
hood engine disable plug is disconnected. The
cutterhead hood must NEVER be open or opened
during operation.
WARNING
It is very important after you have operated a new
machine for approximately an hour to shut down the
machine and recheck all nuts and bolts. It is normal
for nuts and bolts to loosen once on a new piece of
machinery. If you tighten them now, there is a good
possibility they won’t loosen again. Certain nuts and
bolts must be checked periodically such as cutterbody
and cutter teeth nuts and bolts, etc. for torque and
t.
Most of the nuts used on the Smoracy Recycler are
self locking. After a nut or bolt has been removed ve
times, it should be replaced to insure proper tightness.
This is especially critical on the cutterbody and cutter
tooth nuts and bolts!
After the engine is started, let the cutterhead turn at
the lowest RPM’s possible. Listen for any type of noise
that is foreign. Any steel on steel noise is foreign. If
you hear a noise, stop the engine, nd the problem
and x it.
WARNING
WARNING
Never use jumper cables during freezing temperatures.
Tow the machine inside and allow the battery time to
warm up. If the machine must be started outside,
inspect the battery acid for ice formation. Explosion
will occur with a frozen battery. If the machine is going
to be operated in excessively cold conditions, a larger
cold cranking amp battery may be needed to insure
proper and prompt starting. Never use jumper cables
in a conned or unventilated area. Battery acid fumes
are explosive. Battery acid can cause severe burns.
Never expose an open ame or spark near the battery.
Keep all burning materials away from the battery.
When servicing the battery, shield eyes and face, and
do not smoke. Service in a well ventilated area.
WARNING
It is very important after you have operated a new
machine for approximately an hour to shut down the
machine and recheck all hydraulic ttings. Retighten

DO NOT GO NEAR HYDRAULIC LEAKS! High
pressure oil easily punctures skin causing serious
injury, gangrene, or death. Avoid burns from uid. Hot
uid under pressure can cause severe burns. DO NOT
use ngers or skin to check for leaks. Lower load or
relieve hydraulic pressure before loosening ttings.
Relieveallpressureinthesystembeforedisconnecting
the lines, hoses, or performing other work. Use a piece
of cardboard to nd leaks. Never use your bare hands.
Allow system to cool down to ambient temperature
before opening any coolant or hydraulic oil system.
In cold weather situations let your hydraulic system
idle for approximately 15 minutes to allow the system
to warm up to operating temperature. Beast knives are sharp and can be dangerous. It is
always necessary for your protection to be extra careful
