INSTALLATION
SECTION 3-3
REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE COATING
The machine is shipped with a protective wax coating, which must be removed prior to start-up. The
coating can be removed with an acceptable solvent, such as mineral spirits.
Clean the following areas:
Inside the feed hopper
Inside the cutting chamber (knives, rotor, etc.)
Inside the discharge area.
CHECK THE KNIVES AND SCREENS
Be sure that the screens are properly installed into the cutting chamber and that nothing has fallen into the
cutting chamber during transportation and/or installation. Refer to Section 6, Maintenance, for the
procedure entitled Screen Replacement and Cutting Chamber Access.
Check to be sure the bed knife and rotor knife hold-down screws are tight and knife clearances are cor-
rect. Refer to Section 4, Settings and Adjustments.
POWER CONSIDERATIONS
Before operating the granulator, it is extremely important that a licensed electrician correctly wires the
machine into the plant power source. See Section 8, for wiring diagram.
All electrical equipment must be properly grounded in accordance with local and national codes to
protect personnel from electrical shock.
A fusible, lockable disconnect between the plant power source and the machine electrical cabinet
is highly recommended.
