TROUBLESHOOTING

Page 9

1.

Cutting shaft does not rotate properly:

a.

Tighten drive belts to correct tension (

see page 8

).

b.

Replace belts if they no longer can be adjusted properly.

2.

Shredder vibrates:

a.

Check for loose or missing hammers or bolts.

b.

Check for hammers that are unevenly worn. If one or more hammers is badly worn,
replace all the hammers the first time. Keep the hammers that are in good shape for 
future replacement in worn series of hammers. For example: when replacing a worn 
hammer, replace it with a hammer of similar shape and weight. This will insure a 
balanced and vibration free cutting.

3.

If the cutting shaft becomes jammed, reverse the rotation of the shaft to loosen and release 
the obstruction.

4.

If the hammer mounting ears break off, they must be welded back in their exact position,
otherwise the cutting shaft will be unbalanced.

5.

If you have any questions or problems, it is always best to contact your dealer immediately.

6.

When ordering spare parts, you must contact your authorized Gearmore dealer for original 
replacement parts. When doing so, please include the following information:

a.

Model Number

b.

Serial Number

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1.

All adjustments, inspections and repairs must be made with tractor and shredder completely 
stopped.

a.

When the shredder is in operation, make sure that there is no one near the flying 
debris from the shredder, to prevent the possibility of serious injuries.

b.

ALWAYS

keep hands and feet away from a shredder that is in operation.

c.

Check that all guards and safety features are in place and in good operating condition.

2.

While mowing, take the necessary precautions to insure operator's and others safety.

3. DO NOT 

make height adjustment using only the top link. This will cause flying debris to 

come out the front of the shredder and toward the operator. Use the roller adjustment.

We thank you again for your choice of shredders and we remind you that the safety points outlined in
this manual will help you do your work in a safe and efficient manner.
