11. After checking and making sure that the power supply is correct, plug in your machine.

12. Machine must be properly grounded. Use qualified electrician to install according to local building codes.

13. With rear motor cover removed and chute cover in the closed position, push the green “start” button located on the side of the rear cover. Be sure that the motor and transmission are rotating in the proper direction. Should be COUNTERCLOCKWISE when viewing the transmission output shaft and machine crank arm, as indicated by the arrow on crank arm. Should machine be operating backwards, push red “stop” button. Disconnect machine from incoming power source and interchange two lead wires.

14. When machine is operating in proper direction, replace rear motor cover. Machine is now ready for trained operators to process product.

MOTOR WIRING AND ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

(1) Interchange of current is made in motor outlet box. Leads are properly marked. Changing instructions are on the motor plate or motor outlet box.

(2) All chippers are wired 220 volts unless otherwise specified. Be sure motor specifications (voltage, cycle, phase) match power supply line. Be sure line voltage is up to specification.

(3) Electrical connections to be in accordance with safety codes and National Electrical Code.

(4) Rated voltage of the unit shall be identical with full supply voltage.

(5) Voltage drop on the supply line shall not exceed 10% of full supply voltage.

(6) The feederline conductor size in the raceway from the branch circuit to the unit must be correct to assure adequate voltage under heavy starting and short overload conditions.

(7) The feederline conductor shall only be used for the supply of one unit of the relevant horsepower. For connections of more than one unit on the same feederline, a local electrician will have to be consulted to determine the proper conductor size.

(8) The size of the electrical wiring required from the power source to the frozen block chipper is a

MINIMUM OF

No. 10 WIRE

if the distance from the machine to electrical box is 25 feet or less. Over 25 feet a

MINIMUM OF

No. 8 WIRE

is to be used.

(9) The BIRO Manufacturing Company is not responsible for permanent wiring, connection or installation.

NOTE TO OWNER AND ELECTRICIAN: IF THIS MACHINE IS NOT CORD

1¾ bolts and lock washers.

B. Mount the Gear Reducer and Mounting Plate combination to the machine frame and tighten the four ½-13 bolts. Remove the factory plug and replace with the plastic vented plug in the filler plug hole shown in the drawing.

C. Reinstall the Motor into the Gear Reducer. Be sure the Motor Key is properly in place, Tighten the Motor

Bolts.

D. Reinstall the Motor wires and conduit. Reattach the wires. Taking care that the Motor wiring diagram is followed for proper voltage.

E. Being aware of location of all other personnel while the Motor is being tested for proper rotation, plug the machine into power source. Push the start button and note rotation of Gear Reducer output shaft. It should rotate counterclockwise when viewing from shaft side. If not, interchange two lead wires. Unplug the machine from power source for final installations.

F. Reinstall the Item No. 51387 Crank and Crank Key. Tighten the Item No. 1161 Allen Screw.

G. Reinstall the Item No. 51384 Pitman Arm using the Item No. 51054 Crank Pin and Item No. 16501WB

LUBRICATION FOR GROVE GEAR REDUCER

1. Factory Filling

The speed reducers are oil filled at the factory to the proper level for the standard mounting position. The oil level should be checked and adjusted (if necessary) prior to operation, using the oil level plug provided and while the unit is oriented in its operating position.

2. Oil Changing

WHEN CHANGING OIL FOR ANY REASON,

DO NOT MIX DIFFERENT OILS IN THE REDUCER.

OILS SHOULD BE COMPATIBLE WITH

VITON SEAL MATERIAL.

Therefore, when changing to a different oil, it is recommended that the housing be completely drained and thoroughly flushed with a light flushing oil prior to refilling with the appropriate lubricant. The oil level should be rechecked after a short period of operation and adjusted, if necessary.

OIL SHOULD BE CHANGED MORE OFTEN IF THE

REDUCER IS USED IN A SEVERE ENVIRONMENT

(i.e., DUSTY, HUMID)

A. Initial Oil Change

The oil in a new speed reducer should be changed at the end of 250 hours of operation. (30 days for 8 hour per day service, 15 days for 16 hour service, 10 days for 24 hour service.)

All standard reducers ordered from the factory are filled with lubricant to operate within a 30° to 100°F ambient temperature range.

B. Subsequent Oil Changes

Under normal conditions, after the initial oil change, the oil should be changed after every 2500 hours of operation, or every six months, whichever occurs first. Under severe conditions (rapid temperature changes, moist, dirty or corrosive environment) it may be necessary to change oil at intervals of one to three months. Periodic examination of oil samples taken from the unit will help establish the appropriate interval.

C. Synthetic Oils

Synthetic lubricants can be advantageous over mineral oils in that they generally are more stable, have a longer life, and operate over a wider temperature range. These oils are appropriate for any application but are especially useful when units are subjected to low start-up temperatures or high operating temperatures. Use of synthetics can cause problems if they are not compatible with the seals or the conventional lubricants they replace. For continuous duty at normal ambient temperatures (-10°F to

105°F) we recommend the use of Mobile SCH 634 which is compatible with the standard compounded oil shipped in our product and the Viton® seal material used through size 252.

3. Overfilling or Underfilling

If a speed reducer is overfilled with oil, the energy used in churning the excessive oil can result in overheating.

If this occurs, shut down the drive, remove the oil level plug and allow oil to drain until oil ceases to drain from the level hole, reinstall the oil level plug and restart the drive. if the speed reducer is underfilled, the resultant friction can cause overheating and possible damage. If this occurs, fill the speed reducer to the oil level plug hole and check the gearing for excessive wear. NOTE: Oil capacity is 1¾ pints.

4. Oil Seals

Although the speed reducer uses high quality oil seals and precision ground shafts to provide a superior seal contact surface, it is possible that circumstances beyond the speed reducer's control can cause oil seal leakage (damage during shipment or installation, etc.). When replacing a shaft oil seal, using the following suggestions will help to insure leak-free operation and long seal life.

A. When installing a new seal, cover the keyway and any other surface discontinuity with smooth tape to protect the seal lip from being damaged.

B. A sealant should be used between the O.D. of the seal and the I.D. of the bore into which the seal is installed. The seal bore should also be free of any burrs, nicks, or scratches.

C. Be sure that the seal is not cocked in the seal bore. The outer face of the seal should be flush with the surface into which it is mounted.
