Before You Start

  • Power off and unplug the machine - stay safe!
  • Have your tools ready, all basic maintenance tools are in your toolbag (don't have a toolbag? Purchase one here!)

Daily Checks

Quick checks as you’re working or cleaning:

  • Confirm the blade hub is installed securely and at the appropriate distance
  • Watch and listen for anything unusual — noise, vibration, or movement
  • Check for oil where it shouldn’t be
  • Make sure components are seated correctly after cleaning

Weekly Checks

A little more intentional, add to your daily routine once a week:

  • Inspect the shredder blade and note shredding performance
  • Check around the cylinder rods and surrounding areas for buildup
  • Look over press bags and boards during cleaning
  • Make sure bolts and fittings are snug (not over-tightened)

Monthly Checks

Take a few extra minutes to look things over more thoroughly:

  • Inspect shredder blades for wear or dullness
  • Check press boards for cracks, wear, or uneven surfaces
  • Look at press bags for stretching, thinning, or breakdown
  • Confirm key components are secure and properly installed
  • Check hydraulic fittings and connections for any signs of loosening or leaks
