Trouble shooting

The unit does not start:
Check the engine fuel or for electrical units the
supply plug fuse and supply.
Check all the safety switches and ensure that
they are correctly installed as they will prevent
the engine starting. If you cannot solve the
problem, please contact your dealer.
The electric engine stops after short
period:
The motor could be over heated so that the
thermostatic cut out has operated. In this case,
wait until motor has cooled down and try again
If the supply plug is hot, please check the cable
diameter
(5 x 1,5mm) and the correct fitting of the wires
into the plug.
Note:
Use only short cable with a conductor size of
1,5mm or greater. Long cables cause both
voltage drop and an increase in current which
way blow fuses
Engine will not run at full speed or gives
sings of distress:
Check that the hammer mill shaft can turn freely
and clean the area to ensure that no blockage
can occur.
Correct the belt tension if necessary.
If the unit still does not work, please contact
your dealer.
V-belt tension
You should check the V-belt tension more
frequently when the machine is new and then,
thereafter, at regular intervals of no more than 4
hours. The V-belt tensioner is located towards
the bottom of the machine and can be accessed
by slacking the lock nut. the tension of the V-
belt can be adjusted by taking up the tension of
the screw provided.
Chopped Material is too fine for intended
use:
If the horizontal screen is refitted, remove it by
folding it down.
Check the hammers. If edges are blunt, turn or
change them to sharp edges.
If the side hopper is in use, check the cutter
blades and sheer bar. Sharpen or change these
as necessary. Ensure that the clearance between
the cutter blade and sheer bar is 2mm, shim to
correct.
