11.5.6.2 Instruction for replacing the blades
A new blade set can be ordered from your ELIET supplier with the following article number: BU
401 200 302.
Warning:
Wear protective gloves – the blades are razor sharp!
• To replace the blades, simply remove the old ones and replace
them with new ones. When placing the blades in zone A, make
sure that the bevelled side always faces the centre of the
shredding chamber. The blades from zone B are slid between
the disc plates such that due to the angle of the blade disc, the
bevelled side always faces the axis.
• Always fit new bolts and nuts when replacing chipping blades. Your ELIET dealer always has
new blades in stock.
• After disassembly of the blades, remove any sticky dirt that has accumulated between the two
plate halves before remounting the blades. This can be done with with a stripping knife.
• Tightly fasten the bolts after refitting the chipping blades. Check that all the bolts are tight
-
ened before remounting the sieve.
• Always make sure to refit the bolts in the blade holders in such a way that the
nuts are on the
'tightening side'
. The direction of rotation of the blade shaft thus automatically protects them
from coming loose.
• The next time you start chipping, please bear in mind that new chipping blades take time to
stabilise. The bolts may lose some tension, causing blades become loose between the plates.
For this reason, you should
retighten the blade bolts within the first 5 operating hours of
the machine (torque 25 Nm)
Caution:
Incorrectly or poorly installed blades may cause breakdowns or damage
to the machine. Operators and bystanders are also put at risk.
Caution:
After replacing the chipping blades, always check the bolts for correct tightness
after expiry of the first 5 hour run. Failure to do this may have serious conse-
quences for the operator and for the machine.
