MAINTENANCE
Engine - see manual.
Ensure the engine is switched off and the rotor has stopped turning.
Check the belt tension after the first 10 hours and then every 50
hours.
Check and grease hydraulic roller guides and hammer mill shaft
bearings every 50 hours.
Check tyre pressures regularly - 35 psi.
Lubricate wheel bearings every 6 months.
Check brakes every 12 months or 6,000 miles (whichever comes
first).
Check condition of hammers for sharpness every 6 months, or
sooner if performance starts to fade.
CLEARING THE
HAMMER MILL
(Fig. 2)
Should the machine be completely overloaded and the hammer mill
get jammed up with unprocessed material, it will be necessary to
open up the mill housing. This can only be done with the use of
tools and should only be undertaken by a competent person.
SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE AND ENSURE THE HAMMER
MILL HAS STOPPED TURNING.
Remove the four nuts holding the mill housing plate. Undo the two
side latches and lower the whole housing plate down to open up the
shredding mill and hammer assembly. Clean out the housing with a
stick or brush. DO NOT put hands into the hammer assembly as
the blades have sharp edges and may cause injury.
Once cleaning is completed, raise the housing plate and latch into
place. Re-fit the nuts retaining the housing plate and tighten.
TOWING
(Fig.1)
Raise the rear stabiliser and lock into place.
Check operation of jockey wheel and that it is raised before towing.
Check lighting board operation.
Check handbrake is OFF before towing.

OPERATION
Start the engine, increase the engine to FULL throttle
and allow the machine to warm up for two minutes.
Check reverse operation of the hydraulic feed roller
by pushing the operating lever towards the engine.
Do not press the lever beyond the reverse position
otherwise the emergency stop switch will be
activated which will stop the engine. (Fig.2)
Set the speed of the hydraulic feed roller by moving
the setting knob up or down the slot as required.
(Fig. 2)
It is best to start off the roller on a slow setting - the
speed can be increased for light material but must be
reduced for heavier material such as branches up to
4” diameter.
Gently feed in the waste until it is gripped by the feed
roller - once gripped, let go of the waste and the
machine will feed itself at the pre-set roller speed. If
the roller jams, push the operating lever forwards
towards the engine to reverse the roller and drive
the waste back out. In the event of any serious
occurrence,press the operating lever fully to activate
the Emergency Stop.
Attempting to overfeed the machine with too much
waste or too high feed roller speed may cause
damage.
FINISHING WORK
Once the work has finished, allow the machine to
continue running at full speed for one minute to
ensure the rotor housing is completely clear of
debris.
Slowly reduce the engine throttle to tick over then
switch off the ignition switch.
BE CAREFUL OF HOT EXHAUST.
NB Ensure the hammer mill is stationary before
attempting any cleaning or opening of the shredder
housing.
PLEASE NOTE
The Shredder is designed for the volume waste
reduction of material such as garden vegetation,
cardboard, wastepaper, hedge cuttings, and small
branches up to MAXIMUM 4” DIAMETER.
The machine CANNOT handle carpeting fabrics,
metal, string or branches larger than 4” diameter.
It is also NOT recommended that you put glass or
hard plastics into the machine as dangerous fragments
could be thrown out.
BEFORE STARTING
Ensure the machine is on firm, level ground and that
the handbrake is ON. DO NOT USE MACHINE ON
A SLOPE.
Lower the rear stabiliser onto the ground and lock in
to place. (Fig.1)
Set the discharge pipe in the required direction of
discharge and set the angle of the outlet flap. (Fig.1)
Check the engine oil level. (Fig.1)
Check the hydraulic oil level. (Fig.2)
Check fuel level. Only use diesel from a clean
container. (Fig.1 )
TO START ENGINE
Ensure the emergency stop switch is released and the
No-Stress Control panel is switched on. (Fig.2)
Set the throttle to quarter speed. (Fig.1)
