1.4 Thrown objects and operator safety
An operational characteristic of all grinders is that objects may be thrown out of the hopper. Thrown objects may
present a safety hazard to persons in the area. This section is to inform the operator of this characteristic, and what can
be done to reduce the risk of injury to the operator and persons in the area. Keep all observers away from the machine.
Figure 1.1
NOTE: The difference in the size of the area for side A versus side B. Side B is larger.
Dimensioning the size of this area is not practical. The distance a thrown object may travel is dependent on several
conditions, including, but not limited to, rotor speed and diameter, condition of the hammers, style of hammers, object
mass, object shape, amount of material in the tub, and how the hammer strikes the object.
Figure 1.2
H - 1 0 0 0 T U B G R I N D E R OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 11
The amount of material in the tub can dampen or stop the object’s potential flight. Keeping the tub full will reduce the
risks. Filling the tub at least 1/2 full when starting will reduce the risk. Using a geyser plate can help reduce thrown
objects. A risk may arise when the tub is being emptied, such as at the end of the grind. Running the engine at slower
speeds when starting or finishing the grind will also help, especially slowing down when emptying the tub.
WARNING: To minimize the potential risk of injury or property damage, the operator must:
a) Place side B towards open areas, away from property and people.
b) Load the grinder from side A with a loader equipped with an enclosed cab.
d) Wear a hard hat and safety glasses, at a minimum, and require that any other persons in the area
are similarly equipped.
1.5 Shielding
This H-1000 Tub Grinder is equipped with shielding at all major points of potential injury. All Shields should be kept
in place during operation. Bodily injury may occur if the unit is operated without shields.
WARNING: Shields are installed for your protection and to keep material off machine parts. Do not
operate this PTO Driven Tub Grinder without shields in place.

DuraTech.
7. Check periodically for broken or worn parts and make necessary repairs.
8. Be sure the unit is securely attached to tractor during grinder operation and road transport.
H - 1 0 0 0 T U B G R I N D E R OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 13
DURING OPERATION
• Keep everyone clear of work area except operator seated at tractor controls.
• Never work on or near grinder unless engine is off, and all motion has stopped.
2. Power take off shafts must be locked in place with protective PTO shields in place.
3. Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from power driven parts.
5. Watch out for and avoid any object that might interfere with the proper operation of the machine.
6. Loose clothing, necklaces, and similar items are more easily caught in moving parts. Avoid the use of
these items and keep long hair confined.
7. Because it is possible that your H-1000 may be used in dry areas or the presence of combustibles, special
precautions should be taken to prevent fires and fire fighting equipment should be readily available.
WARNING: For your safety and the safety of others, you must use the following normal shutdown
procedure before leaving the controls unattended for any reason, including servicing, cleaning, or
inspecting. A variation of the following procedure may be used if so instructed within this manual or
if an extreme emergency requires it.
1. Run H-1000 Tub Grinder until discharge conveyor is empty, and grind as much of the material in the tub
as possible.
3. Disengage PTO
4. Disengage hydraulics.
14 H - 1 0 0 0 T U B G R I N D E R OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
7. Wait for all movement to stop.
CAUTION: At full speed, energy is stored in the rotor. Do not use the tractor PTO brake to stop
the rotor. Reduce engine speed before disengaging the PTO
Most of the products that are ground are dry and the grinding process can produce fine, dusty material. The grinding
process can produce heat and the spinning rotor will circulate air within the grinding chamber. For a fire to start, fuel,
oxygen and heat in sufficient quantity, must be present. During normal operation and with a properly maintained tub
grinder, the material being ground will move through the grinding chamber so quickly that it doesn’t have a chance to
heat up sufficiently to start a fire. Also, the rapid rate that a tub grinder can pile material will quickly smother small hot
spots that might occur during normal grinding operations. Keeping the material moving through the machine and across
the top of the rotor is important to keep frictional heating of the material to a minimum.
NEVER leave the vicinity of the unit with the engine running.
• When filling the tub grinder during start-up begin by filling the rear of the tub and avoid placing materials
on the spinning rotor. When material begins to fall over the rotor, set the governor control on “Manual”
and rotate the tub slowly while continuing to fill the tub. Use the tub cover to control thrown objects as
much as possible. When the tub is 1/2 to 2/3 full, the governor control can be set to “auto” and grinding
operations can resume normally. Do not allow the tub to stop for any significant amount of time with
material over the rotor to minimize frictional heating.
H - 1 0 0 0 T U B G R I N D E R OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 15
REMOVAL AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS:
• Clean the engine compartment daily or more often if conditions require it be done more frequently.
When cleaning the engine compartment, always clean the top of the engine and the areas around exhaust
manifolds, exhaust plumbing and turbochargers.
• Check the rotor box for debris built up around the rotor. Remove material that may be packed tight near
the bearings, on shaft or other rotating components because it will become hot due to friction.
• At shutdown, always clean and remove all dust, debris, or combustible material off the entire grinder. Use
high-pressure air or water if necessary. Always move the grinder and all other equipment away from the
ground material pile before leaving the job site in case of smoldering combustion in the ground material.
• Inspect all electrical wiring periodically. Any chafed or damaged wires should be repaired immediately.
Keep all electrical connections tight to prevent arcs or sparks.
• Contact between the rotor and any stationary component of the grinding chamber such as contact between
the hammers and the screens must be corrected immediately.
If a fire does start, CALL THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY. Then, use the fire extinguisher
if you feel confident that you can extinguish the fire. A 10# extinguisher will last about 15-20 seconds and a 20#
extinguisher will last about 20-24 seconds, so they will not stop a large fire. The fire extinguishers should be at least
10#, but the preferred are 20# .
• Sweep along the base of the fire from about 6-8 feet away.
Read the label on your extinguisher now, most extinguishers have descriptions of this method, and an estimated
working time.
16 H - 1 0 0 0 T U B G R I N D E R OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
If an extinguisher is only partially used, the dry chemical will jam in the seals, allowing the extinguisher to loose its
pressure charge in less than an hour, making it useless to you. It must be recharged before placing it back on the
machine. Have the extinguisher recharged today; a fire will not wait for you to recharge your extinguisher
tomorrow!
Fire extinguishers should be inspected and recharged by a professional at least annually to keep them at optimum
performance! A “verification of service” collar that confirms the month and year of service should be attached to
the neck of the container to confirm when the extinguisher was last serviced.
1.10 Towing
CAUTION: DO NOT TRANSPORT THE H-1000 TUB GRINDER without first securing the
conveyor in the transport position (see 2.7.1, page 30).
3. Hitch H-1000 Tub Grinder to a tow vehicle with adequate load carrying and braking capacity. Be sure to
attach safety chains between tow vehicle and H-1000 Tub Grinder. Tongue weight is 900 lbs.
4. Pull PTO apart and attach to transport bracket on the right hand side of the grinder.
6. Check the turning clearance between H-1000 Tub Grinder and the towing vehicle.
7. Check local ordinances regarding restrictions for H-1000 Tub Grinder travel on your planned route.
8. Be aware of machine width at all times and do not exceed 20 miles per hour.
9. Check your state laws regarding the use of lights, slow moving vehicle signs, and other possible
requirements.
10. Use good judgment and drive carefully, especially over rough and uneven roads.

2.2 Introduction to the machine
Material is fed into the tub of the unit by appropriate means, such as a wheel loader. As the tub rotates, the material is
exposed to the rotating hammers. The hammers then grind the material before the material is discharged by the belly
and discharge conveyors.

• Front hydraulic valve: The front hydraulic valve controls hydraulic oil flow to tub orbit motors. Starts
and stops the tub rotation.
• Rear hydraulic valve: The rear hydraulic valve raises, lowers, folds and unfolds the discharge conveyor.
Two tractor hydraulic circuits are required to power this valve. For older John Deere tractors, the rear
valve can be replaced with a closed center valve.
• Tractor engine speed: The tractor engine speed should be set so 1000 PTO shaft is running at 1000
RPM.
• Tractor PTO lever: Engaging the tractor’s PTO lever spins the rotor, runs both conveyor belts and
powers tub hydraulic drive. The conveyor must be unfolded to working position before the PTO is
engaged.
H - 1 0 0 0 T U B G R I N D E R OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 21
2.2.3 Electronic governor
The Model RCB93 Electronic Governor regulates the speed at which the tub rotates. The electronic governor has two
modes of operation, the Engine (Auto) mode and the Tub (Manual) mode. The Engine (Auto) mode is the preferred
mode of operation and should be used whenever possible.
IMPORTANT: Except when calibrating or trouble shooting the electronic governor always use the
Engine (Auto) mode of the electronic governor.
When the electronic governor is switched to the Engine (Auto) mode, it is monitoring the rotation speed of the tractor
engine. The hydraulic flow to the tub drive mechanism is regulated proportionally to the tractor engine speed. When
the engine begins to lug down, the hydraulic oil flow is reduced which in turn slows down the tub rotation. With
proper calibration, the engine will only lug down to its optimum horsepower RPM and the tub rotation will be varied
proportionally to keep the engine at this RPM. The result is a nearly constant load on the tractor’ engine, which will
maximize grinding efficiency. See section 2.10 (pg. 33) for calibration instructions.
In this mode the tub speed is constant and it will not change to match varying load conditions.
2.2.4 Rotor
The Rotor and screens are the heart of the tub grinder. The rotor on this H-1000 Tub Grinder is equipped with 64
swinging hammers. Dull edges on the hammers and/or screens will result in a loss of capacity and increased horse
power requirements.
IMPORTANT: Hammer and hammer rod life can be extended by keeping the rotor rotating at 2000
RPM. Excessive tractor horsepower and/or overfeeding the rotor can cause the hammers to lay
back resulting in excessive wear on both the hammers and hammer rods.
CAUTION: Keep all foreign objects out of the tub and away from the rotor. Foreign objects may
cause personal injury or damage to the H-1000 Tub Grinder.
CAUTION: At full speed, energy is stored in the rotor. Do not use the tractor PTO brake to stop
the rotor. Reduce engine speed before disengaging the PTO.
22 H - 1 0 0 0 T U B G R I N D E R OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2.2.5 Screens
All H-1000 Tub Grinders require two screens. They come equipped from the factory with a 3” diameter hole screen
and a 4” diameter hole screen. Any combination of hole sizes may be used. As a general rule, use the largest diameter
screens capable of doing the job.
When using a combination, place the smallest hole diameter on the right hand side of the rotor box where the material
enters the rotor.
The size of the hole in the screen determines the coarseness of grind. The larger the hole diameter, the coarser the
grind. Hole sizes can vary from 1/8” diameter through 4” diameter. In general, use the larger screen sizes for grinding
hay.

2.2.6 Tub
The purpose of the tub is to contain the material above the rotor, and to keep the rotor loaded
Tub Fins
Two tub fins are furnished with the H-1000 Tub Grinder.
When grinding large round bales, use only one of the tub
fins, bolted in the upper position. Two tub fins across from
each other may hold the bale up and reduce capacity.

2.2.7 Slug Buster and Mill Grate
A slug buster or mill grate is installed above the rotor to regulate the amount of material entering the rotor chamber.
The standard slug buster is used for ideal grinding conditions (dry hay). The mill grate is used for “less than ideal
grinding”, (wet hay or tough grasses).

2.3.2 How to hook up to tractor
To hitch the H-1000 to a tractor, perform the following steps:
1. To reduce wear on the PTO shaft knuckle joints, tractor PTO shaft should be in line (parallel) with the
H-1000 Tub Grinder. If tractor is equipped with swinging drawbar, adjust so the tractor PTO and H-1000
Tub Grinder drive shaft are in line.
CAUTION: To insure a safe hook-up, the H-1000 Tub Grinder and tractor should be connected with
a 1” locking pin.
6. Raise hitch of H-1000 Tub Grinder to remove weight from tractor hitch by adjusting jack.
INTRODUCTION
Tractor engines are designed to reach maximum power at PTO speed (1000 rpm), and most tractors are capable of
engine speeds from 10 to 20 percent over PTO speed. A rotor speed of 2000 rpm is recommended. It will be necessary
to operate tractor PTO at approximately 1100 rpm.
The Electronic Governor controls the feed rate to keep the tractor at its peak power point. The operator is able to select
the operating range so that when the feed of material lugs down the tractor, the Electronic Governor will reduce the feed
at a high enough PTO speed for the tractor to recover automatically if a slug is encountered.
26 H - 1 0 0 0 T U B G R I N D E R OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GRINDING
Place materials to be ground directly into the tub. The best method for filling the H-1000 Tub Grinder is:
1. Engage rotor and increase engine speed to 1000 RPM on the P.T.O. shaft.
2. Fill the tub about half full of unground materials before starting tub rotation.
3. Start tub.
LOOSE HAY
The best capacity will be obtained if the tub is consistently kept no less than half full of loose hay. When loading
the tub, place materials slightly to the rear rather than directly over the rotor. For best results feed the tub with small
portions.
This is the toughest material for any grinder to handle. When filling the tub with wet or frozen hay, deposit small
quantities on a more frequent basis rather than filling the tub with one load.
Place large round bales in the tub on end or on the side. Try grinding bales each way to determine which method will
work best for you.
IMPORTANT: Never drop a large round bale into the tub from a high level. Ease the bale over the
edge and down into the tub carefully. Dropping a large bale directly on top of the rotor will cause
damage to the rotor.
CROP RESIDUE
When grinding crop residues, use the same methods as with loose hay. Extremely wet or frozen materials should be
placed sparingly into the tub.
SMALL GRAINS
Grinding small grains requires special attachments. These attachments fit directly over the rotor. It is not
recommended that small grains be ground without the use of one of the small grain attachments. (See Appendix B:
H-1000 Tub Grinder Specifications under the heading “Options”.)
H - 1 0 0 0 T U B G R I N D E R OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 27
EAR CORN
Grinding ear corn requires a special attachment. This attachment fits directly over the rotor and uses crossbars in the
tub to feed corncobs into the rotor. (See Appendix B: H-1000 Specifications under the heading “Options”.)
IF LODGING OCCURS
Materials may lodge against the side of the tub and not feed down to the rotor. If this occurs, reverse the tub direction
briefly and then start the tub in a forward direction again. This practice normally dislodges any materials.
WARNING: Never attempt to dislodge material inside the rotor when the machine is in operation
by physically pushing down on materials. WHEN THE MACHINE IS IN OPERATION, STAY
OUT OF THE TUB.
CAUTION: At full speed, energy is stored in the rotor. Do not use the tractor PTO brake to stop
the rotor.
WARNING: The stored up energy in the rotor causes it to rotate long after disengaging the tractor
PTO. Before performing any maintenance on the machine or getting into the tub, be sure rotor and all
moving parts have come to a complete stop.
Before working on or near the H-1000 Tub Grinder for any reason, including servicing, inspecting or unclogging
machine:
1. Run H-1000 Tub Grinder until discharge conveyor is empty, and grind as much of the material in the tub
as possible.
3. Disengage PTO
4. Disengage hydraulics.

2.8 Parts of the electronic governor
FUSE LIGHT
SENSOR LIGHT
This light is on whenever the electronic governor is receiving an adequate input signal from the sensor and the rotor is
engaged.
SPEED LIGHTS
These lights provide a relative indication of how fast your tub should be turning based on the output signal that the
electronic governor is sending to the electro-hydraulic valve.
MODE SWITCH
The mode switch has three possible positions. The off position which turns the electronic governor off and two other
positions which correspond to the tub (manual) and engine (auto) modes of operation. In the “tub (manual)” position
the tub will rotate at a constant speed based on the settings of the Tub Limit Knob (Tub Speed Knob). The “engine
(auto)” position uses all the functions of the Electronic Governor. The maximum tub speed will be limited by the Tub
Limit Knob (Tub Speed Knob), and the tractor engine load will be controlled by the Engine Load Knob.
This knob sets the maximum speed at which the tub will rotate in both the tub (manual) and engine (auto) modes. In
the engine (auto) mode tub speed will vary between zero and this setting depending on the tractor engine load.
RANGE SWITCH
This switch is a coarse adjustment for the engine load knob and can be switched to a H- high, M-medium or L-low
setting.

NOTE: some units may

manual
IMPORTANT: Except when calibrating or trouble shooting the electronic governor always use the
engine (Auto) mode of the electronic governor.
In engine (Auto) mode, the electronic governor monitors the rotation speed of the tractor’s engine. The hydraulic flow
to the tub drive mechanism is regulated in proportion to the tractor’s engine speed. As the engine speed slows, the
electronic governor decreases the hydraulic flow which slows down the tub’s rotation. Conversely, as the tractor’s
engine speed increases, the electronic governor increases the hydraulic flow which speeds up the tub’s rotation. This
allows the electronic governor to automatically control the feed rate keeping the tractor’s engine running within the
governor’s optimum power zone. When the load on the grinding rotor begins to lug the tractor’s engine, the governor
automatically reduces the tub’s rotation speed in proportion to the load. The result is nearly a constant load on the
tractor’s engine, which maximizes the grinding efficiency.
The range of rotor speeds for which the electronic governor will regulate the hydraulic flow is determined by the setting
of the engine load knob. For example, turning the engine load knob counter clockwise will increase the load on the
engine by keeping the tub engaged to a lower engine RPM.
With proper calibration, the tractor’s engine will only load down to its optimum horsepower RPM, and the tub’s
rotation speed will be varied proportionally to keep the tractor’s engine at this RPM.
In tub (manual) mode, the electronic governor performs as a simple tub speed control. In this mode the tub speed is
constant and it will not change to match varying load conditions.

2.10 Calibration of the electronic governor
To calibrate the electronic governor, perform the following steps:
1. Begin calibration procedure with H-1000 Tub Grinder completely shutdown. Place the MODE switch in
the OFF position and the RANGE switch in the H-High position. Rotate the TUB LIMIT KNOB fully
clockwise toward the rabbit position. Turn the ENGINE LOAD KNOB fully clockwise, and switch the
MODE switch to Engine (Auto) Position.
2. Verify that tub rotation lever is in neutral. Inspect machine to verify that all personnel are clear of the
machine.
3. Start tractor and run the grinder at about 1/2 throttle to allow the hydraulic system to warm up before
calibrating the RCB93 Electronic Governor.
4. When the system has reached operating temperature, throttle the tractor to 1000-1200 engine RPM.
Engage the tub drive and throttle up to PTO speed. The FUSE light and the SENSOR light should come
on. The tub should not be rotating at this time. If the tub is rotating, read section 4.1 “Troubleshooting the
electronic governor system” in this manual.
5. Slowly rotate the ENGINE LOAD KNOB counter-clockwise until the tub just begins to move. The tub
should begin to rotate. If it does not begin to rotate, switch the range switch to M-Medium or L-Low and
repeat as necessary.
TEST: Throttle the tractor’s engine down and the tub should stop rotating, return the tractor’s engine to PTO RPM and
the tub should start to rotate.
If the tub will not rotate, read section 4.1 “Troubleshooting the electronic governor system” in this manual.

2.12 Adjusting the conveyor belt tension
The discharge conveyor is adjustable to allow for belt stretch and tracking. If the conveyor belt slows down or stops
during operation, slippage may be the cause. To eliminate slippage, tighten the adjusting bolts on the conveyor equally.
This will increase the conveyor belt’s tension and help to keep the belt centered on the rollers.
IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten conveyor belts. Use only enough tension to eliminate belt
slippage.
Figure 2.6
discharge conveyor belt
adjusting bolt
1. Begin by adjusting the drive roller so that the mounting bearings are the same distance from the
end of the conveyor frame. This ensures that the roller centerline is square with conveyor frame.
Adjust the idler roller bolts so that they are equal on both sides of the conveyor.
34 H - 1 0 0 0 T U B G R I N D E R OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
B. If the belt is running to the right side, perform the following steps:
1. Adjust the idler roller bolt on the right side of the conveyor. Increase tension by approximately 2
full turns of the adjusting nut.
2. Make certain that all personnel are clear of machine and the start engine. Engage the tractor PTO.
4. If further adjustment is required, disengage tractor PTO, and shut down the machine using the
normal shutdown procedure.
5. Some adjustment of the drive roller may be required if no improvement is noted by increasing the
idler roller tension.
C. If the belt is running to the left side, perform the following steps:
H - 1 0 0 0 T U B G R I N D E R OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 35
2.14 Main drive belt adjustment
Adjustment has been provided for tightening main drive belts. Belts tend to stretch rapidly when first put into
operation. Tighten regularly to prevent slippage. Belt tension should be checked at 30-minute intervals or as necessary
until stretch is eliminated. Belt tension can be checked by pressing on individual belts with thumb (approximately 20
lbs.) in the center of the span. Deflection should be 1/2” or thickness of V-belt.
2. Adjust the tub teeth so that all four sets of teeth contact the chain link on the same side of the teeth.
Tighten the bolts holding the teeth in place, and return the chain to working position.
36 H - 1 0 0 0 T U B G R I N D E R OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MANUAL OVERRIDE
NOTE: If there is an electrical failure with the machine, it may still be able to grind. Switch the
electronic governor off. Remove the rubber end cap and loosen the jam nut on the electro-hydraulic
valve. Start the machine and engage the tub drive.
CAUTION: PTO MUST BE ENGAGED AT THIS TIME. WATCH FOR MOVING PARTS
Contact your dealer for future repairs or replacement parts. When the problems are corrected, calibrate the electro-
hydraulic valve.
NOTE: With the electronic governor switched to tub (manual) mode, the tub will continue to rotate
regardless of the engine RPM.
1. When first starting the machine, run at less than full throttle to allow the hydraulic system to warm up
before operating.
2. With engine running at full throttle, turn the engine load knob clockwise to maximum position and set the
mode switch in the engine (auto) position. Engage the tub using the tub control lever. Check the sensor
light on the electronic governor before doing any adjusting! At this point, the sensor light should be lit.
If the sensor light is not lit, read section 4.1 “Troubleshooting the electronic governor system” in this
manual.
NOTE: Turning the engine knob clockwise will decrease the load on the engine by disengaging the
tub at a higher engine RPM.
H - 1 0 0 0 T U B G R I N D E R OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 37
3. If tub is not turning, you are ready to proceed to the grinding section of this book. Remember the engine
load knob adjusts the load placed on the engine, and under normal conditions this will be the only
adjustment you will have to make.
IMPORTANT: Stay clear of all moving parts while calibrating the electro-hydraulic valve. The tub
will be rotating during this adjustment.
Figure 2.7

Section 3: General Maintenance
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: If for any reason arc welding is to be done, always ground cylinder to frame of machine
to prevent arcing in bearings.
1. Before working on or near the H-1000 Tub Grinder for any reason, including servicing, inspecting or
unclogging machine:
a. Run H-1000 Tub Grinder until discharge conveyor is empty, and grind as much of the material in
the tub as possible.
d. Disengage hydraulics.
2. When replacing any part on your H-1000 Tub Grinder, be sure to use only DuraTech Industries authorized
parts.
3. Relieve all pressure in the hydraulic system before disconnecting the lines or performing other work
on the system. Make sure all connections are tight and the hoses and lines are in good condition before
applying pressure to the system.
WARNING: Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can be invisible and have enough force to
penetrate the skin. When searching for a suspect leak, use a piece of wood or cardboard rather than
your hands. If injured, seek medical attention immediately to prevent serious infection or reaction.
4. Visually examine to see if any internal parts show excessive wear. Repair or replace needed parts. These
parts include rotor plates and holes in the plates that support the rods. Enlarged holes can cause rods to
break.
Also check rods, rod locking and retaining devices, hammers, screens, screen tracks and hold downs,
main shaft, hinges or anything else that could wear and perhaps fail if not properly maintained, and cause
damage to the rotor and/or personnel safety. Check bearing alignment and mounting bolts to insure a firm
foundation and reduced vibration.
Keep all foreign objects out of the tub and away from the rotor. Foreign objects may result in personal
injury or cause severe damage to hammers, screens, rods, and other parts that will cause rotor failure.
H - 1 0 0 0 T U B G R I N D E R OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 39
5. Check for loose or worn chains, belts, sprockets and pulleys.
7. Inspect rotor and all rotating parts for wrapped twine or wire build up.
8. If machine is going to sit idle for an extended period of time, tub floor should be cleaned to prevent rust
and sticking problems at start up time.
10. The wheel bearings should be checked for lubrication and adjustments yearly, preferably at the end of the
season.
If a generous amount of grease is on the bearing and in the housing, and if the grease is soft, the grease will not need
changing.
If the lubricant is caked and the bearing seems dry, wash the bearing to remove old grease. Repack the bearing.
40 H - 1 0 0 0 T U B G R I N D E R OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 Lubrication
Hydraulic oil reservoir capacity: 12 gallons. Change hydraulic oil and filter at least once a year.
Gear Box: Check level periodically. Drain and refill with No. 90 gear lube once a year.
When operating the H-1000 Tub Grinder during cold weather, perform all lubrication after bearings are at operating
temperatures.
BEARING LUBRICATION
Bearings operating in the presence of dust and water should contain as much grease as speed will permit, since a full
bearing with a slight leakage is the best protection against entrance of foreign material. In the higher speed ranges, too
much grease will cause overheating.
High-speed operation, abnormal bearing temperature may indicate faulty lubrication. Normal temperature may range
from “cool to warm to the touch” up to a point. Unusually high temperatures “too hot to touch for more than a few
seconds” accompanied by excessive leakage of grease indicates too much grease. High temperatures with no grease
showing at the seals, particularly if the bearing seems noisy, usually indicate too little grease. Normal temperature and
a slight showing of grease at the seals indicate proper lubrication.
The following chart is a general guide for relubrication. Certain conditions may require a change of lubrication periods
as dictated by experience.

3.2 Hydraulic system
CAUTION: Lack of proper oil level in the reservoir tank will cause system to heat under continuous
running. Check the hydraulic oil level daily and replace as necessary.
Check the hydraulic oil regularly, and if the oil has a burnt
smell or milky appearance, change it immediately.
46 H - 1 0 0 0 T U B G R I N D E R OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3.3 Hammermill maintenance
Visually examine the mill to see if any of the internal parts show excessive wear. These parts should include rotor discs
and the holes in the discs that support the rods. Enlarged holes can cause rods to break or bend. Also check rods, rod
locking or retaining devices, hammers, screens, screen tracks and hold downs, main shaft, platform locking devices,
hinges or anything else that could wear and perhaps fail and causing damage to the hammermill and/or personnel safety
if not properly maintained. The bearings should also be checked along with mounting bolts to insure a firm foundation
and reduced vibration.
CAUTION: Keep all foreign objects out of the tub and away from the mill. Foreign objects may
result in personal injury or damage to the machine.
The hammers have been designed and manufactured to provide the best compromise between hardness for good
wearing qualities and strength for dependability and resistance to breakage.
WARNING: The hammers have been heat treated, and any alteration of the hammers by heating,
grinding, resurfacing or any other process can change the mechanical properties of the hammer and
make it unsuitable or dangerous to use.
Because of the high capacity of the machine, the hammers will wear and must be considered expendable. Each hammer
has four cutting edges. For maximum life, it is suggested that hammers be rotated periodically to even out the wear
over the entire rotor. If one end of a hammer is allowed to wear too long, one of the hammer’s cutting edges will be
lost.
Screens also have two cutting edges. When cutting edges become rounded, the screen can be turned end for end
exposing the new cutting edges. The results of badly worn hammers and screens is loss of capacity, and added horse
power requirements.
Hammer rods are case hardened to maximize wearability and toughness, although hammer rods must be considered
expendable.
NOTE: Hammer and hammer rod life can be extended by keeping rotor rotating at 2000 RPM.
Over powering or over feeding the rotor will cause the swinging hammers to lay back resulting in
excessive wear on both the hammers and the rods.

3.4 Hammer maintenance and replacement
CAUTION: Follow normal shutdown procedure before entering tub to do any service work.
When installing or changing hammers, be sure to follow hammer pattern diagram carefully (page 49). Misplacement
could cause excessive vibration.
A. Always replace hammers in pairs, 180 degrees apart. ( illustrations A & B below).

Section 4: Troubleshooting the H-1000 Tub Grinder
4.1 Troubleshooting the electronic governor system
1. When power is reaching the electronic governor the fuse light should be on. If this light fails to go on,
check the fuse, the battery connections, the wiring harness, and the indicator lamp.
2. Checking the TUB MODE operation of the electronic governor. With the engine and hydraulic systems
at operating temperature, and the tub drive control valve in the forward position, throttle the engine up to
PTO speed.
With the mode switch in the tub position, the tub should be rotating. The speed of the tub can be varied by rotating
the tub limit knob. The number of tub speed lights which are lit will vary with the setting of the tub limit knob. If the
number of tub speed lights lit varies as you rotate the tub limit knob, the manual portion of the controls are functioning
correctly. Proceed to step 3. If the manual portion is not working properly, proceed to trouble shooting table below.
50 H - 1 0 0 0 T U B G R I N D E R OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3. Checking the ENGINE MODE operation of the electronic governor. If the tub mode controls function
correctly after following the tub mode trouble shooting check list, then follow the calibration instructions
on page 36 of this manual. If the tub will not rotate, proceed to trouble shooting table below.
H - 1 0 0 0 T U B G R I N D E R OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 51
ELECTRONIC GOVERNOR HARDWARE TEST
Test the electronic governor with power supplied to the governor control box and the mode switch set to the tub
position. The grinder does not need to be running for this test. Disconnect the wiring harness at the valve. With a
voltmeter set for 12 volts DC, connect the red lead of the voltmeter to the red lead of the wiring harness and black
lead to the black wire. Turn the tub limit knob until the left speed light (turtle) is on. The voltmeter should read
approximately 3 volts. Turn the tub limit knob clockwise. As more speed lights light up, the voltage should increase.
Turn the knob until the right speed light (Rabbit) is lit. The volt meter should now read a minimum of 9 volts.
52 H - 1 0 0 0 T U B G R I N D E R OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3. Output voltage of sensor AC
With the grinder at operating speed. Set volt meter to AC volts, connect leads to pins B and C. The volt meter should
read at least 2 to 3 volts AC.
This test requires an accurate ohm meter. Disconnect the wiring harness leads at the electro-hydraulic valve coil.
Check resistance of valve coil leads at the terminals. The resistance should be between 8 to 12 ohms for a 12 volt
solenoid. If the values are not within this range, replace the electro-hydraulic valve coil.
MANUAL OVERRIDE
NOTE: If there is an electrical failure with the machine, it may still be able to grind. Switch the
electronic governor off. Remove the rubber end cap and loosen the jam nut on the electro-hydraulic
valve. Start the machine and engage the tub drive.
CAUTION: PTO MUST BE ENGAGED AT THIS TIME. WATCH FOR MOVING PARTS
Contact your dealer for future repairs or replacement parts. When the problems are corrected, calibrate the electro-
hydraulic valve.
