Adjustment / replacement of plastic edges
When the plastic edges (3) become worn, the rubber
blades are no longer able to touch the plastic edges,
and the lubricant is thus not distributed on the inside
of the separator. This can cause a soothing sound (de-
pending on the separated material).
When the edges are worn, they can be adjusted in-
wards against the rubber blades, by loosening the
screws on the underside, loosening the locknuts, and
tightening the adjustment screws on the steel bars of
the edges. The plastic edges must touch the rubber
blades, and can be adjusted both at standstill, and dur-
ing operation. They can be adjusted steplessly inwards
until the adjusting screws are fully inserted. Remember
to tighten the locknuts on the adjusting screws and the
screws on the underside.
When the plastic edges can no longer be adjusted
inward, they should be replaced - if necessary, in com-
bination with replacement of rubber blades and sealing
segments.
Be aware of the danger of squeezing when the separa-
tor top is lifted! Required clearance at lift to top, see
section "Technical data".
When replacing rubber blades, sealing segments and
plastic edges, use only genuine Kongskilde spare parts.
Please refer to the spare part list.
NB! When replacing rubber blades, scraper and seal-
ing segments, it is important to use the new included
self-locking screws. Otherwise, there is a risk that the
screws will loosen and fall into the material outlet.

In addition, the internal parts of the separator, sieve
holes and duct piping are optimally cleaned with pres-
surized air.
If moist and / or sticky material has come into the sepa-
rator, further cleaning may be required.
The flanged bearings are lubricated with a grease gun
in the grease nipples every 1.000 running hours, with a
good quality ball bearing grease, like SKF LGMT 2.
Be careful not to overfill the bearings.

Lubrication of the gear:
The gear is provided with mineral oil, ISO VG 220, for
operation in a range of -10 to +40°C. At working tem-
peratures outside this area, synthetic oil can be used
with advantage.
Recommended synthetic oil types are for example:
Mobil SHC 630 or Shell Omala S4 GX 220
Gear oil is replaced the first time after 300 hours of
operation, hereafter every 3 years for mineral oil, and
every 6 years for synthetic oil.
The oil level must be checked and possibly refilled
every 3.000 hours of operation. Also check the gear for
oil leakage and condition of the sealings. Replace leaky
seals.
Oil is filled through the (upper) vent screw hole,
checked through the middle screw hole (located right
below the motor axle), and drained through the lower
screw hole.
The gear ventilates through the vent screw during tem-
perature fluctuations.
The gear motor must be cleaned as needed to prevent
overheating.
