Useful Suggestions
Probable Cause
Excess feeding or overload. Due
to this motor cannot achieve
required rotation, and the material
accumulates in the shredder
(continuous use under this
condition, can cause motor burn-
out due to overload).
1. Insufficient feeding of the
shredder.
2. Motor rotation lower than
specified.
3. Moist or green produce.
4. Adjustment on shredder is not
consistent with the material
in use.
1. Dull cutting blades.
2. Worn or unbalanced.
1. Worn or damaged hammers.
2. Hammers are jammed.
1. Excess or overload of produce.
2. Drop of high tension or power
source.
Solution
Turn OFF shredder immediately and wait for motor
to stop. Open hatch and remove the excess material
inside shredder, close hatch. Once shredder is
ready to operate, turn ON the motor, and wait until
rotation reaches its full speed, only then resume work.
Maintain a steady and regulated amount of input, so as
not to overload motor.
1. Maintain a continuous feeding flow, yet not over-
feeding which may cause the shredder to jam.
2. Verify if purchased motor to be installed on
shredder (shredder sold without motor) is
compatible accoding to specifications (see
sticker on shredder). If motor rotation is below
specification, the hammers will be delayed
causing low production.
3. When using funnel only grind dry grains and/
or dry produce. Grinding moist or green grains/
produce will clog and obstruct strainer.
4. Select different strainer for your choice
application (coarse or fine).
1. Sharpen cutting blades (see page 52).
2. Follow procedure indicated on page 52.
1. Revert position or substitute hammers, consult
page 52.
2. Always clean shredder after usage, especially
after chopping green crop.
1. Turn OFF shredder immediately and wait for
motor to stop. Open hatch and remove the excess
material inside shredder, close hatch. Once
shredder is ready to operate, turn ON the motor,
and wait until rotation reaches its full speed, only
then resume work.
2. Consult electrician to check power source.
