All TRAPP shredders, single-phase or three-
phase, are assembled with dual voltage motors.
They leave factory without electrical connection
to allow the customer to choose the kind of
connection based on the voltage of their property
power source.
For shredders sold without motor, the choice of
the minimum power shall follow the technical
data shown on pg. 40.
For motors of power higher than 5 cv, it is
recommended to use a delta-star switch to
start them. The model suggested is ETW (WEG
Acionamentos) or a similar one.
As the on/off switch is distant from the shredder,
install an emergency button in the equipment in
case immediate switching off is necessary.
Checking:
Before operating the shredder check:
If there are tools or objects on the motor or on
the equipment, mainly inside the grain funnel or
the green crop feeder.
If there is something obstructing the motor.
If the rotation direction is correct.
If the voltage of the power source is the same of
that of the shredder.
If there are people or objects near pulleys and
belts.
If the shredder cover is properly closed.
If the counter cutting blade is properly set and
fixed (pg. 49).
Motor Installation
Operation Instructions
Attention!
Before making any kind of connection, make
sure the power source is disconnected.
1. Make sure that the power source
where the shredder will be installed is
compatible with the data on the motor
plate.
2. Disconnect the power source to make
motor connections.
3. Make the connections shown according
to the voltage of the power source.
4. Use insulating tape in the connections
done to protect them.
5. Make sure the connections are well
insulated.
6. Turn on power source and check the
rotation of the motor.
Note:
If the equipment is properly prepared, start
the motor, allow it to reach maximum
revolution and start working.
Keep both diesel and gasoline motors
running for some minutes for them to reach
normal working temperature.
Never leave a diesel or gasoline motor
running in a confided area or without
proper ventilation. The gas from the exhaust
contains carbon monoxide which is
inodorous and lethal.
