The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating conditions. If you operate your trimmer under severe conditions, such as sustained high load or high temperature operation, or use it in unusually wet or dusty conditions, consult your servicing dealer for recommendations applicable to your individual needs and use. Remember that an authorized Centurion Pro servicing dealer knows your trimmer best and is fully equipped to maintain and repair it. To ensure the best quality and reliability, use only new, Centurion Pro parts or their equivalents for repair and replacement
NOTICE : Improper maintenance, or failure to correct a problem before operation, can cause a malfunction which can cause serious injury or death. Always follow the inspection and maintenance recommendations and schedules in this owner’s manual
IMPORTANT NOTE:
SIDE DRIVE IS NOT WATERPROOF. DO NOT GET WET
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
The DB T Model 5’s are precision machines. It is essential that they be operated and maintained with this in mind. It’s important to inspect the machine at initial start-up and after each use to ensure that no damage or plant material build-up has occurred and that the tumbler spins freely. In addition, it is highly recommended to clean the machine after every day of use. This ensures that the Blade Sheet and Tumbler are kept lubricated and that resin does not build-up and affect performance. This is especially important if the machine has been stored for an extended period of time
CLEANING
Remove Tumbler and Blade sheet and cover with a thick coat of cooking oil
(olive, vegetable, etc.). Let sit for 3-12 hours. Using warm/hot water,
concentrated dish soap and a non-metallic dish scrubber, clean the Tumbler and
other machine components by hand. Alternatively you can pressure wash with hot
water, at up to 1500 psi on fan spray setting. After pressure washing, run
machine for 15 minute to allow components to dry Read full CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE instructions before cleaning.
When to Clean:
Depending on the material being processed and the frequency of use, the slots
of the Tumbler may need to be cleaned after each use or periodically.
Indications that machine requires cleaning
- Reduced trim quality
- Visible build-up of material in the Tumbler slots which obscure the sharp edge of the slots
- Visible evidence of material on Blade Sheet
- Excessive noise (machine should run quietly so that you may converse normally when it is running)
REMOVING OBSTRUCTIONS
If the rotating Tumbler becomes restricted or clogged: Stop the motor and Make
sure that all rotating parts have come to a complete stop. Disconnect the
trimmer’s power cord. Use a wooden stick to clear the obstruction
INTERVAL | ITEM |
---|
Before each use
| Check that Blade Sheet is snug, and in contact with Tumbler and is tightened appropriately Check that machine is free of excessive debris.
Ensure that machine is clean and the Tumbler can be rotated without power under manual force.
During use| Although not required, application of a food grade
lubricant to Tumbler and Blade Sheet can help reduce resin build up.
After each use| For best performance and longevity, clean trimmer after
every use or if plant material is visibly affecting the trim quality or speed
of the trimmer.
Every 10 hours of operation| To maximize Blade Sheet life,
rotate orientation of blade sheet every 10 hours or when visible signs of wear
are identified. Although not required, this will extend the life of
the Blade Sheet.
PRESSURE WASHING THE DBT MODEL 5

SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Some of the most important safety precautions follow. However, we cannot warn
you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in performing maintenance. Only
you can decide whether or not you should perform a given task. Failure to
properly follow maintenance instructions and precautions can cause you to be
seriously hurt or killed. Always follow the procedures and precautions in this
owner’s manual. Centurion Pro trimmers are designed to trim excess plant
material from a variety of herbal material. Other uses could result in injury
to the operator or damage to the trimmer and other property. Injuries and
property damage from trimmers can be prevented by following all instructions
in this manual and on the trimmer. The most common hazards are discussed
below, along with the best way to protect yourself and others.
Safety Precautions
Make sure all motors are off and power cords are unplugged before you begin
any maintenance or repairs. Read the instructions before you begin, and make
sure you have the tools and skills required.
AVOID ROTATING TUMBLER
The DBT Model 5 Tumbler can cause serious injury, cuts and even amputate
fingers or hands. Keep hands, arms, and body away from the Tumbler whenever
the Tumbler is in motion. Keep hair,
clothing, and jewelry away from the Tumbler. If you need to work around the
trimmer to clear or clean plant material for any reason, always shut off the
electric motor and disconnect the trimmer’s
power cord from the AC outlet. Use a wooden stick to remove any obstruction or
debris. Never put your hand into the Tumbler while the machine is running;
serious personal injury could result.
AVOID BLADE SHEET
The DBT Model 5’s Blade Sheet can cause serious cuts and even amputate fingers
and hands. Keep Trim Trays and Tumbler Lids in place at all times while
machine is operating. If you need to work around the trimmer to clear or clean
plant material for any reason, always shut off the electric motors and
disconnect the trimmer’s power cord from the AC outlet.
CLEAR OPERATION AREA
Before operating the trimmer, carefully inspect the surrounding area and
remove all hazards that could cause you to trip, slip, or fall into the
trimmer. Anything which can be grabbed by the rotating Tumbler is a potential
hazard to you and others. Look for hazards and remove them from the work area.
Tie back loose clothing and long, loose hair. Remove any and all jewelry.
KEEP GUARDS AND SHIELDS IN PLACE
Guards, Shields, Trim Trays and Tumbler Lids are designed to protect you from
touching moving components. For your safety and the safety of others, keep all
shields in place when the trimmer is running.
TURN MOTOR OFF WHEN NOT OPERATING THE TRIMMER
If you need to leave or step away from the trimmer for any reason, always make
sure to turn the motor off.
OPERATE ON FLAT SURFACE
Do not operate on slopes. To avoid overturning, only operate the trimmer on
flat surfaces. Control the trimmer carefully when transporting it across
uneven ground or slopes. Do not push the trimmer down or across steep slopes:
the trimmer could overturn, causing damage to the machine or injury to the
operator and/or bystanders.
OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITY
Know how to stop the trimmer quickly in case of emergency. Understand the use
of all trimmer controls. Never permit anyone to operate the trimmer without
proper instruction. Do not let children operate the trimmer.
SAFE OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
- Before operating the trimmer for the first time, please review both the BEFORE YOU START section and the TRIMMER SAFETY section.
- Even if you have operated other trimmers, to take time to become familiar with how the Centurion Pro works.
- Never operate Centurion Pro machines while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or prescriptions, including over-the-counter cold/flu/allergy medications.
- Protective clothing and eye and/or hearing protection should be worn during operation.
- For your safety, do not operate while wearing loose fitting clothing, jewelry, etc..
- Rotating machinery parts can entangle loose clothing, long hair or dangling jewelry resulting in serious injury or death.
- Long hair should be secured in a manner that keeps it away from mechanical parts.
TUMBLER DOES NOT ROTATE UNDER MANUAL FORCE
- Tumbler and Blade sheet are excessively dirty. Clean Tumbler and Blade Sheet; excessive plant material builts up on these surfaces and causes excess friction.
-
Tension on Blade Sheet is too tight. Reduce tension on Blade Sheet by releasing the pawl and rotating the tension knob in a counter clockwise direction until the Tumbler can easily be rotated under manual force and the Blade Sheet is in contact with the Tumbler.
ELECTRIC MOTORS WILL NOT START OR HAVE LOW POWER - No electric power from the outlet. Plug trimmer into a functional electrical outlet.
- Outlet is overloaded. Check that breaker is not overloaded and has not tripped. If tripped, switch plug to a different circuit.
- Extension cord is faulty. Check extension cord is rated appropriately for the distance and current. Do NOT use a longer cord unless the wire size is larger. Undersized extension cords may cause an under-voltage, over-current condition which could damage or destroy the drive motor and void the motor warranty.
-
Overcurrent circuit has been exceeded. Determine cause of excessive circuit resistance which may include: overloaded outlet, faulty extension cord, bad outlet, underrated generator, excessively dirty machine, incorrectly tensioned Blade Sheet or obstruction between Tumbler and another part of machine. Once source of resistance has been identified and resolved, reset circuit by pressing small button on control panel for 3 seconds then operate machine normally.
THE CIRCUIT BREAKER KEEPS TRIPPING. - This is caused by a cord that is too long or undersized. Your cord must be no more than 25ft long and the same gauge of thickness as the main cord.
- Also, ensure the machine is not sharing a circuit with other devices and the correct size breaker is present. Circuit sharing can significantly decrease the power
being supplied to the devices therefore causing the breaker to trip.
-
Test your electrical current to make sure it is producing consistent power. We recommend having a certified electrician set up the proper power supply. This will ensure your power source is supplying the correct electricity. If you have not done this, have a certified electrician come and test your electrical current to ensure it complies with the electrical requirements.
MY TUMBLER IS NOT SPINNING. - If its not spinning, check for obstructions between Tumbler and Blade Sheet.
-
Ensure that the rollers are properly placed on grooved Tumbler and/or the Side Drive is engaged on Tumbler.
THE PRODUCT IS NOT COMING OUT TRIMMED. - Tumbler and/or Blade Sheet are excessively dirty. Clean Tumbler and Blade Sheet.
- Make sure that the Blade Sheet is tightened onto the umbler.
-
Check plant to make sure that moisture content is between 8-10% and that the leaves are snappy and dry, not bendy and pliable.
MY SIDE DRIVE IS HOT. - Your machine may be overworking due to a voltage drop in your power supply. This can happen if you’re using an extension cord that is too long or undersized. You can only use an extension cord with a maximum length of 25ft.
- Use a voltage tester to test your electrical current to ensure you have the correct voltage. We recommend having a certified electrician come in and make sure
your power supply is consistent.
-
Having a motor on for an extended period can be the reason for overheating. Allow the motor to cool down by turning the machine off for an hour, every 5 hours of use.
MACHINE MAKES A LOUD SCRAPING OR CLICKING SOUND. - Tumbler and/or Blade sheet are excessively dirty. Clean Tumbler and Blade sheet.
- Tumbler and/or Blade Sheet are Damaged and need to be replaced.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW EASY IS IT TO CLEAN?
Please see the detailed cleaning instructions throughout this manual. Remove
Tumbler and Blade Sheet and cover with a thick coat of cooking oil (olive,
vegetable, etc.). Let sit for 3-12 hours. Using warm/hot water, concentrated
