INSTALLATION
If the crusher is not supplied with the optional stand and ore pan, then the machine should
be mounted securely, making sure there is adequate clearance underneath for sample or
material removal.
A licensed electrician according to all local codes and ordinances should do electrical
installation.
MACHINE ROTATION: Drive Wheels should rotate towards feed opening.
!! NEVER OPERATE MACHINE WITHOUT GUARDS AND FEED HOPPER!!
MAINTENANCE & ADJUSTMENTS
The jaws are preset at the factory to an approximate 1/4" space. Before starting the
crusher for the first time it is suggested to check this spacing.
JAW ADJUSTMENT
Two spring rods located on the back of the crusher control tension of the toggle. The hex
nut on the side of the frame adjusts the movable jaw gap.
To INCREASE the particle size adjust the large hex nut on lower frame counter-
clockwise to desired size. Re-tighten spring rods no more than hand tight.
To REDUCE the particle size, adjust the hex nut clockwise and re-check the spring rod
tension.
* CAUTION: IF SPRING RODS ARE TOO LOOSE THE TOGGLE WILL DROP
FROM MACHINE. TOO TIGHT WILL CAUSE EXCESSIVE WEAR!
Access the toggle through the maintenance access port on back of the crusher.
Jaws should not run in contact with each other.
