3-1 Scope
This chapter contains all instructions required for experienced
installation personnel to install the granulator and prepare it for
production. You must follow all instructions carefully and in the
sequence presented. Be sure to observe all DANGER,
WARNING, CAUTION, and NOTE statements to prevent
personal injury or machine damage. These statements are designed
to make installation procedures safe and easy.
3-2 General Set-Up
1. Make certain the floor is clean, level, and free of obstructions
before placing the machine into position.
2. Visually inspect the hopper infeed opening to ensure that no
stray packing material or debris is present.
3-3 Inspecting and Cleaning Granulator Components
! CAUTION !
The cutting chamber combs are EXTREMELY SHARP. Always wear heavy gloves
and exercise care when working in the cutting chamber.
1. Open the front base door and the hopper access door by
unlatching the two (2) latches and swinging the doors into their
open positions. Carefully inspect the interior of the hopper and
above the rotor for foreign material or debris. Slowly and
carefully turn the rotor by hand to verify that it rotates
freely and without obstruction. Make sure that the rotor does
not make any contact with the bed combs. Wipe the inside of
the hopper and cutting chamber clean.
With the hopper door opened, the cutting chamber safety
switch located in the base of the machine will automatically
disengage the switch body from the main switch assembly in
the base.
2. Ensure that nothing has been left inside the machine.
