BEST PRACTICES & TIPS
Inspect your material prior to grinding
Optimal moisture can range between 7-10%
Lab certified optimal moisture is 8.8%
Do not overfill hopper
The Revolution grinder can
handle up to 10% moisture.
IMPORTANT! Always turn off and unplug machine before cleaning or servicing.
Always start motor on the
highest speed setting speed
Auger on 3-seconds run time and 3-seconds
off time to prevent clogging. If material is too
dry, auger can run for longer, but can remain
at 3-seconds of run time.
If product bends without a snap, it's too moist.
It product snaps and keif falls, it's too dry.
Optimal product will bend, then snap.

E-STOP BUTTON
LIMIT SWITCHES
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
If there is a sudden emergency or need to shut off
the machine quickly, press either of the two E-STOP
buttons.
One is located on top of the plate on the rear side
of the machine. The other is located just to the left
of the touch screen.
"Emergency Stop" will display on the touch screen.
NOTE: the machine will not operate in this mode.
To clear the "Emergency Stop", pull the red E-STOP
near the touch screen ensuring the yellow ring
under the bottom is exposed.
If the "Emergency Stop" message is still displayed
and both E-STOP buttons are not pressed, it is likely
a trigger of the limit safety switch. (refer to page 20)
Press in case of an emergency
There are four safety switches located
in the machine that will display the
emergency stop as well. The screen will
tell you which e-stop or limit switch is
tripped. These switches will prevent
the machine from running if not
depressed properly.

TOUCH SCREEN OPERATION
START/STOP
Pressthe START button to start
the operation and STOP to stop
the operation of the grinder.
HIGH: 100% of motor speed (1750RPM)
MEDIUM: 50% of full power (875RPM)
LOW: 10% of full power (175RPM)
The Revolution has three speeds for operation.
High, Medium, and Low, indicated by the largest
to smallest icons on the touch screen:
1.
2.
3.
MOTOR SPEEDS The amp meter is located in the lower right corner.
When in higher amperage, the machine will read that
and delay the auger. This allows for the blade chamber
to clear before introducing more material. If the meter
remains high, you may have a clog that needs clearing.
AMP METER
The Revolution has one auger speed that comes pre-set
into the machine. The auger comes pre-set with ON
times and OFF times. This prevents the clogging of
materials and overfeeding the blade. These times may
be changed, but we do not recommend going below 3
seconds off or more than 15 seconds on. If you wish to
alter this please contact Client Services.

QUICKSTART GUIDE
Prepare your material. This prevents clogs
and potential damage to your grinder.
Buck and clean off big fan leaves and large
stems. Remove as many seeds and remaining
bud stems as possible to ensure an even grind.
Plug in your machine. Insert the three-prong
L6-30 plug into a standard 220v/30 amp
single-phase wall outlet.
If it does not turn on, check the power
connection.
If “Emergency Stop” is displayed on the
screen, check the emergency procedures on
the previous page.
Power on your machine. Turn the red lock-out
power switch to the vertical position on the
right side of the machine for ON. Turn
horizontal for OFF.
Open the hopper. With the machine on the
highest speed setting open the hopper to
reveal the Auger and throat to the grinder.
Begin loading your material. Load material
starting at the end opposite the throat. This
allows the Auger to pull the material into the
throat and prevents clogging.
Collect your material. The material will run
from the throat of the hopper down into the
blade chamber and ground material will
move down the chute to vibrate out of the
grinder.

9
POWERING DOWN
Ensure all material has been run through the machine.
Never leave material in your machine overnight. Your
material can dry out, reducing your final product quality.
Clean the machine entirely to prevent any material built
up from the previous run from drying onto your machine
causing buildup and possibly degrading your equipment
over time.
Turn your red lockout power switch to the horizontal
position - OFF

10
Lube the auger bearing once a month by using any
food-grade bearing grease.
Cure and prep your material properly.
Clean your inside blade chamber regularly
between runs and the hopper area as needed.
Keeping your machine clean and maintained will
guarantee longevity and optimal operating conditions.
The key things to note are:
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Run all material through the Revolution to ensure it is empty.
Turn the Power/Lockout button to the OFF position and unplug the power.
ALWAYS work with diamond cut-proof gloves when handling anything in
the blade chamber
BEFORE CLEANING

11
Remove the Auger
On side of the hopper without the motor, loosen Auger Shaft Bolts that are around the Auger Drive Shaft with
⅛” Allen Wrench.
Slide-out the now loosened Auger Drive Shaft from the center of the bearing. Located right below the Auger
Shaft Bolt that has now been loosened.
Inside the Hopper, the (2) sections of Auger may now be removed. Remove the first section of Auger that is
located next to Auger Drive Shaft that was just removed.
Remove the Backing Trough Plate
Using isopropyl alcohol to spray and wipe off material from the Auger
Use a soft-bristle paintbrush/nylon brush to move all dry material down to the 2 ½" drop tube to the blade
chamber.
Spray down the inside of the hopper with isopropyl alcohol once the chute has been removed and all material
has been removed and collected. Wipe down the inside of the Hopper with paper towels or microfiber rags

CHANGING THE BLADES
Video: Changing the Blades - bit.ly/changing-blades
Please watch our how-to video for this crucial step
in maintaining your grinder.

15
Prepare your material before introducing it into your grinder
BUCK your buds completely off of the main stem
REMOVE all big stems and fan leaves
CURE your material! This is one of the most important steps. Our lab-tested and certified results state 8.8% is
the optimal moisture content for most cannabis and hemp plants. Ultimately you will need to work with your
material to lock in the perfect cure for your company. This moisture content can be between 7% - 10%
Load the hopper from the end opposite the throat of your grinder. This allows the auger to pull material into the
throat at the set speed
Adding material directly over the throat can potentially clog it

TROUBLESHOOTING
CLOG PREVENTION
ALWAYS UNPLUG MACHINE PRIOR TO ANY MAINTENANCE.
USE CUT-PROOF GLOVES WHEN CHANGING THE BLADES.

16
Have a lab test your moisture content
Test the moisture content yourself with a reliable moisture reader.
Cure your material in an open bin for a few hours. If your material bends without a snap - TOO MOIST! If your material
snaps and kief is seen falling after the snap - TOO DRY!
Cure your material in an open bin overnight if high moisture content is present.
Honing in your material's moisture content is the only way to resolve this issue. As with grinding material in a hand
grinder. The more live and wet your bud is the harder it is to twist and grind that material. The same goes for your
industrial grinder. Wet material naturally sticks and stacks causing buildup and potentially clogging or damage to your
grinder.
MOISTURE CONTENT IS TOO HIGHT - The most common cause of clogs
Our lab-certified results state the optimal moisture level is 8.8% but please note your material may require slightly different
moisture levels. Stay within 7% - 10% range. Anything higher will result in possible damage to your machine by gunking up
and clogging the blade chamber. This can result in blade breakage or burning out the motor.
