OPERATION
SECTION 5-4
Normal Operation
Never reach beyond the hopper curtain while the machine is running.
To clear a jam, refer to the procedure for clearing a jammed cutting chamber in Section
1. Avoid excessive feed rates. Feed the machine by placing the plastic pieces into the
hopper at a rate approximating the rated capacity of the granulator. Feed rates in excess
of rated capacity will cause the machine to stall.
SHUT DOWN THE MACHINE
To shut down, stop feeding the material into the hopper, and allow the machine
to run long enough to clear all material from the cutting chamber and discharge
chute.
Press the stop pushbutton on the electrical cabinet. This shuts off the drive
motor.
Turn off the power at the electrical cabinet.
DO NOT reach into the discharge cleanout opening with any part of your body.
Movement of the screen cradle at such a time could result in serious injury.
