Frequently Asked Questions - PGS420SE SCHEPPACH

How to assemble the PGS420SE shredder?
Assembly must be carried out by at least three people due to the weight. Follow the steps in order: first mount the wheels and axle, then the drawbar and stand, then the filling hopper and ejection chute, and finally the safety bracket. Use the recommended tools (13, 16 mm wrenches, etc.) and ensure all bolts are tightened.
What type of fuel should I use?
Use unleaded petrol with an octane rating of at least 95 RON and containing at most 10% bioethanol (E10). Do not use fuel mixed with oil. Fill the 6.5 L tank to the maximum.
How to check and change the engine oil?
The engine oil (SAE 10W-30, capacity 1.1 L) must be checked before each use via the dipstick. For draining, place the machine on a level surface, remove the dipstick, then unscrew the drain plug (12 mm wrench). Drain the oil while hot after the first 50 hours, then every 50 hours or once a year. Fill with new oil to the max level.
How to replace the blades?
Switch off the engine, remove the ignition key and spark plug connector. Remove the hopper and ejection chute, then the belt guard. Turn the blade shaft to access the blade screws. Replace each blade (dimensions 150x55x5 mm) and tighten with new screws. Set the gap between blade and counter-blade to 1-1.2 mm. Wear protective gloves.
What to do if the engine does not start?
Check in order: Is the spark plug connector properly connected? Does the tank contain fresh fuel? Is the throttle trigger in the start position? For cold start, the manual choke must be set to ON. If the engine is flooded, wait a few minutes. If the problem persists, clean the spark plug and air filter.
What safety equipment is necessary?
Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection, safety shoes and gloves. Do not wear loose clothing. Make sure the emergency stop and safety bracket work before each use. Keep children and animals away.
How to transport the shredder?
The product is not approved for public roads. To move it on your property, tilt it backwards holding the drawbar. For transport with a vehicle, fold up the stand and attach the drawbar to a trailer hitch. Before any transport, turn off the engine, drain the fuel and disconnect the spark plug.
How to maintain the air filter?
Clean the air filter every 25 operating hours. Remove the cover by unscrewing the wing nut, take out the filter and tap it to remove dust. Never clean it with petrol or flammable solvent. Replace it if damaged.
How to store the shredder in winter?
Empty the fuel tank using a manual pump, then run the engine until it stops. Drain the oil and fill with new oil. Remove the spark plug, pour about 20 ml of oil into the cylinder and pull the starter cord slowly. Clean the machine and store it in a dry place, protected from frost and out of reach of children.
How to charge the battery (if present)?
Disconnect the battery by first unscrewing the black (negative) cable, then the red (positive). Remove the battery from the compartment. Use a suitable car charger (< 5 A, max 14.4 V). Charge for at least 5 hours. Recharge the battery 1-2 times during winter to maintain its capacity.

Working instructions

Good work results require well sharpened blades.

Note:

Blunt blades reduce the cutting performance and impair the work process! Sure signs of blunt blades are leaving an indentation, reduced performance and a poor cutting pattern.

Feeding the chopped material

Always switch the engine off first!

- Only wear closed, suitable clothing and protective gloves with short, closed, sealing cuffs.

• Always stand to the side of the filling funnel when feeding chopped material (Fig. 23).

- Mark out an area at least 3 m wide and 12 m long on the side of the ejector. Check the immediate vicinity before starting. Pay particular attention to children, other people and animals (Fig. 23).

• Make sure that you have secure footing and always maintain your balance. Do not lean forwards.

- Stand at the same level as the product when inserting the chopped material.

- Stay a safe distance from the ejector area in order to avoid being hit by chopped material or parts being ejected.

- Pay attention to stones and soil when collecting the material to be cut.

- Earth causes the blades to wear very quickly and should therefore be removed from the material to be shredded.

- Foreign objects (such as nails, wire, ropes or climbing aids) must be removed from the material to be shredded.

- Hard objects such as stones, glass, metal and similar objects must not be thrown into the product.

- Do not throw roots with soil attached to them into the product.

- Wood such as tree cuttings, etc. requires well sharpened blades and should be crushed separately to maintain as long a service life as possible for the blades.

- The cutting unit draws the chopped material in virtually automatically.

- Insert branches with the thickest end first and place on the part of the cutter disc that rotates downwards if possible (kick-back).

- Remove side shoots from branches with many smaller branches.

- Freshly-cut wood requires less force meaning that sections with larger cross sections can be shredded.

- Processing dry material at the end is beneficial. The moisture in the product is absorbed and the housing cleaned.

- If the cutting unit gets blocked, switch the engine off immediately to avoid an engine overload. Rectify the fault before switching the engine back on.

- Do not let the pile of shredded material in the vicinity of the ejection opening get too high. This can result in shredded material blocking the ejector chute.

This can cause the material to kick-back through the filling opening.

Note: Remove residual waste from the product after finishing work.
