should stop after several turns.
If the machine continues to run, TURN OFF AND LOCK THE POWER per
OSHA 1910.147 or ANSI Z244.1-1982 (Lock-out/Tag-out of energy sources).
Have an electrician check the interlock switch on the cutting chamber to correct the malfunction.

motor manufacturer.
After the 2000-Series Granulator has been in service for some time, the main bearings should be periodically
lubricated. Refer to Section 6, Maintenance, for further information.
