Adjusting or Replacing Bed Knives
(Continued from previous page)
The hydraulic cylinders or jackscrews, which open the machine, should not operate until the rotor is
completely stopped. If you discover that the hydraulic cylinders or jackscrews DO operate while the rotor
is still turning, immediately shut down the machine and call for maintenance to adjust it.
Wear gloves to protect against injury from the rotor or bed knives.

door to prevent loss.
When disengaged, the interlock opens the electrical
control circuit to the motor and prevents the machine
from running.
Remove the granulate deflector and set aside
