3-7 Closing the Cutting Chamber
After completing any maintenance or adjustments inside the cutting chamber, use the
following procedure to close the cutting chamber and resume use of the granulator:
1. Make sure that no one is near the jackscrew or hopper, and clear the mating surfaces
of the cutting chamber of any debris that might prevent tight closure.
2. Remove the rotor locking pin from the hole in the right side bearing housing.
3. At the jackscrew control panel, turn the CC/Hopper switch to the “Lower” position
and push the button in the center of the switch. Hold the button until the hopper
stops, and then release the button and return the switch to the off position.
Caution! Allow the jackscrew motor to come to a complete stop, and wait at least 5
seconds before reversing the motor. The jackscrew and other components
may be severely damaged if the jackscrew motor is reversed before it has
completely stopped.
4. Replace the cutting chamber hold-down fasteners by turning them clockwise until
they are tight against the chamber housing.
5. Engage the cutting chamber safety interlock by turning the actuator screw clockwise.
Make sure the screw is fully seated against the top surface of its housing.
6. Replace line fuses, turn power on, and remove the out of service tag from the
machine.
