Page 26: Using The Machine
9.6 Using the Machine • After the shredder has been correctly set-up in its operating area (read Chapter 9.3), it can be made ready. • You must fold the handlebar downwards in order to be able to feed wood into the feed hopper without encountering any obstructions. - Page 27 • Now the garden waste can be fed in. The maximum lifting height of the feed roller is 180 mm. However, the shredding capacity is designed for a lower fi gure. Never feed in wood whose diam- eter exceeds 150 mm. •...
- Page 28 In order to increase effi ciency, select the correct feed speed with this depending on the type and thickness of the garden waste to be processed. The machine is equipped with a speed controller. • You can use a rotary switch to adjust the feed speed (from 1 to 10). The datum position is as indicated on the illustration.
- Page 29 Tips for optimum use: • Caution the ABM system controls the load using the feed roller and conveyor belt. However, neither the ABM nor the operator has any control over garden waste that has already passed the feed roller. • When feeding in jagged branches (nodes, forked branches), make sure that these are optimally positioned underneath the roller.

Page 59: Tightening The Drive Belt
13.3 Tightening the drive belt The machine is equipped with a long drive belt. After operating for a few hours, this belt stretches so that it loses its tension. Inadequate tension and heavy loading will cause the belt to slip, thus increasing wear and reducing the operating life. Regular checking of the belt tension is thus recommended (every 100 hours). -
Page 60: Tensioning The Feed Belt
13.4 Tensioning the feed belt Although the feed belt moves slowly and is subjected to a low dynamic load, it will also stretch in the course of time. The conveyor belt must therefore be regularly tensioned (every 200 hours). • The feed belt is part of the feed hopper. In order to perform this maintenance easily, the feed hopper must be completely swung upwards (see 11.3.8). -
