5-2 Operation
The granulator can be operated in a vertical top feed position or in a horizontal front feed position.
Before starting the granulator, always check for and remove tools or any other objects placed on the granulator. Turn the Power disconnect switch to “ON”, pull the Start button, and release it when the motor has started.
It is quite normal for the motor not to start immediately, as the electronic system must check all the micro switches before enabling start up procedures. Wait for the electric motor to reach normal rotating speed before feeding the granulator.
!!Warning!!
Never push material into the hopper with hands.
If the hopper becomes blocked, the granulator must be turned off, and the power must be locked out or the fuses removed.
Before stopping the granulator for the end of a working shift or for any other reason, stop feeding in the material to be granulated, and leave the granulator running for several minutes to allow the cutting chamber to completely granulate and empty the material inside. Press the lighted Start/Stop button, which will immediately turn off the granulator.
Important!
If the granulator stalls frequently during use, it may be necessary to adjust the
calibration of the “overload.” (Refer to the values shown in the electrical
diagram.)
