SECTION 6-10
Cutting Chamber Access
When you REVERSE the jackscrew operating direction, always ALLOW THE JACKSCREW MOTOR TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. Release the control switch and allow a minimum of 5 seconds before switching to the opposite operating position. If you don't allow this pause, the
JACKSCREW AND OTHER COMPONENTS MAY BE SEVERELY DAMAGED.
OPEN THE CUTTING CHAMBER WITH JACKSCREWS
The jackscrews, which open the machine, should not operate until the rotor is completely stopped. If you discover that the jack- screws DO operate while the rotor is still turning, immediately shut down the machine and call for maintenance to adjust it.
Make sure no one is near the jackscrew or hopper during operation.
Actuate the cutting chamber jackscrew from the jackscrew console by turning the CC/Hopper (Cutting Chamber/ Hopper) switch to the RAISE position. Hold the switch till the hopper stops.
OPEN THE CUTTING CHAMBER WITH HYDRAULICS
You will need to access the cutting chamber before initial startup and for various maintenance procedures. Before accessing the cutting chamber, make sure no one is near the hydraulic cylinders or hopper.
The hydraulic cylinders should not operate until the rotor is completely stopped. If the hydraulic system does operate while the rotor is still turning, immediately shut down the machine and call for maintenance to diagnose the system to find the fault.
Actuate the cutting chamber hydraulic cylinders from the open/close control panel by turning the CC/Hopper (Cutting Chamber/Hopper) switch to “RAISE” position. Hold the switch until the hopper stops, then release and return the switch to the off position.
