MAN0943 (07/12/2011)
STOPPING THE SHREDDER
Before dismounting power unit or performing
any service or maintenance, follow these steps:
disengage power to equipment, lower the 3-point
hitch and all raised components to the ground,
operate valve levers to release any hydraulic pres-
sure, set parking brake, stop engine, remove key,
and unfasten seat belt.
1. Slowly decrease engine speed to low idle.
2. Disengage center cutter’s hydraulic system (if so
equipped). Never approach unit until the blade has
stopped turning.
3. Slowly disengage PTO clutch. The overrunning
clutch will allow the shredder to freewheel down.
4. Restart the unit only after the drums quit turning.
The PTO will not need to be disengaged to lift the
unit on the ends or while turning.

ponents has stopped before approaching for ser-
vice.

other debris and throw it out with enough force to
severely injure bystanders.

Shut down unit and wait for moving parts to stop before
approaching.

GROUND SPEED
Travel speed can vary between 3 and 8 mph (5 and 13

unit.
Speed may be increased if shredding quality is good.
Decrease speed if trash is left standing or if some is not
picked up.
