Product Usage Instructions

M+ TRIMMING SYSTEM USE/SAFETY
When operating the M+ Trimming System, it is important to follow safety guidelines to prevent injuries. Here are some important instructions

• Ensure that the Trimmer Lid is always closed during operation. The lid prevents any objects other than cannabis from entering the trimming area.
• Avoid any objects that could bump or cause the Trimmer Lid to fall when it is open.
• Keep hands clear of the Automatic Doors when they are opening or closing, as they can form pinch points.
• Do not operate the Rise Conveyor without the Side Walls and Hopper, as they are designed to keep hands, jewelry, and dangling objects clear of the belt.
• Never turn on the Rise Conveyor without the belt installed on the machine.
• In case of blockages or breakdowns, stop the machine using the HMI (Human Machine Interface) if possible. If not possible, use the Emergency Stop to cut power to the machine.
• Before clearing any blockages, disconnect power from both machines and wait for the doors to close (if they were open).
• Investigate and clear the blockage before resuming operation.

The Industrial Control Panel is

• The M+ Trimming System consists of a Model M+ Trimmer with upgraded Automatic Doors and a Rise Conveyor to feed it. The Trimmer’s main purpose is to trim the outer leaves off of the cannabis flower, and the Rise Conveyor’s main purpose is to feed the Trimmer with minimal input from the operator. It is designed to decrease the amount of supervision by automating the loading process into the Trimmer and automating the trimming process. The Trimmer and Rise Conveyor are designed to be used with cannabis and hemp only – do not place any other products in these machines.
  Be careful when operating these machines, although Safety Guards are in place there is still a chance for injury.

• The Trimmer Lid is designed to keep all objects except for cannabis out of the trimming area. Do not operate the machine with the lid open. When the Trimmer Lid is open, make sure there is nothing that could bump the Lid and cause it to fall.

• Keep hands clear of the Automatic Doors when they are opening or closing. When in automatic mode, the Doors will operate on their own and form pinch point as they open and close.

• The Side Walls and Hopper of the Rise Conveyor are designed to keep all hands, jewelry, and any dangling objects clear of the belt. Do not operate the Rise Conveyor without these safeguards. The machine should never be turned on without the belt installed on the machine.

• If any blockages or breakdown are to occur when operating the machine, stop the machine using the HMI if possible. If not possible, use the Emergency Stop to cut power to the machine. Before clearing the blockage, disconnect power from both machines (if the doors were in the open state, wait for the doors to close). Once power has been disconnected, investigate, clear the blockage, and resume operation.

BELBELT INSTT INSTALLAALLATIONTION
When removing or installing the belt, do not pull on the belt. Pulling backwards on the belt can cause the chain to loosen and fall off or misalign.

1. Weave the belt through the top section of the machine.
   • Start by running the Belt between the Secondary Walls (1), underneath the First Guides (2), and under the Shake Guards (3).
   • Continue pulling the Belt up to the top of the machine.
   • Tip: The Belt may slide back down. Use the Drive Gears (shown in step three) to hold the belt in place.
   • This can be done with or without the Hopper installed.
2. With one end of the Belt held at the top of the machine, take the other end and start weaving it through the bottom sections of the machine.
   • Take the end of the Belt and run it through the rear Toggle Guides (1) and on top of the Bottom Guides (2). Make sure to keep the Belt inside of the Flanges of the frame (3).
3. Next, you must continue pulling the Belt through the bottom of the machine and up to meet the other side of the Belt.
   • The Belt will go above the Small Rollers (1), below the Motor (2), in between the Top Chain Guards (3), and around the Drive Gears (4). Again, make sure to keep the Belt above the Flanges of the frame (5).
4. Lastly, use the provided Stainless Steel Pin to lock the two ends of the Belt together.
   • Intertwine the interlocking laces at the two ends of the Belt (1). Then, slide the Locking Pin (2) through the penetrations (3) in each of the Laces.
   • It is critical that the Pin is pushed all the way through and all Laces are secured properly.
   • The orientation of the Pin is not critical. It can be put into either side of the Belt.

BELBELT TENSIONINGT TENSIONING

1.  The Belt must be tensioned before running the machine and de-tensioned for removal.
   • The Toggle Camps
2. can extend and retract to tension the Belt. By spinning the Toggle Bearing
3. attached to the tensioning Bolt
4. the Belt can be finely adjusted.
   • A new Belt should have the Tensioning Screws fully threaded into the Toggle Clamp. This gives the Belt plenty of tension (DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN – shown extended for clarification).

PRIMARPRIMARY WY WALL INSTALL INSTALLAALLATIONTION

1. The Primary Walls easily slide directly into the slots on the Main Frame of the Rise Conveyor.
   • The short F-Brackets (1) slide into the top primary slots (2), and the long F-Bracket (3) slides into the bottom primary slot (4), as shown.
   • The F-brackets should be facing away from the machine.
2. The Primary Walls (1) should be pushed all the way down flush with the Belt (2)

CONTROL BOX INSTCONTROL BOX INSTALLAALLATIONTION

1. The Control Box is required to power the Motor and allow the operator full control of the machine.
2. The Control Box Bracket (1) slides directly into the Side Mount Bracket (2) that is attached to the left leg of the Rise Conveyor (3).
3. The yellow Four-Prong Connection (4) screws into the machine’s Electrical Supply (5).
4. The Third Connection on the back of the Control Box is for the Foot Pedal Control.

PRE-STPRE-STARART IPT IP

• Attach the Hopper to the Main Body (refer to the hopper installation guide on pages 6-7
• Install the belt and fully secure the interlocking laces of the belt.
  • It is critical that the Locking Pin has been fully inserted and the Belt Loops secured.
• Extend the Toggle Clamps to tension the Belt.
  • These allow the Belt to be tensioned and are adaptable for any stretching during the belt’s use. A new Belt should have the screws fully threaded into the Toggle Clamp. This is plenty of tension when the Toggle Clamps are extended fully and equally.
  • If the Drive Gears at the top of the machine are slipping, try extending the bolts in the Toggle Clamps to further tighten the Belt. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
• Attach the Primary Walls onto the Main Body.
  • There should be little to no gaps between the bottom of these walls and the Belt.

POWERING AND OPERAPOWERING AND OPERATIONTION

• To begin using your new Rise Conveyor, plug the power cord into your wall outlet and allow about 15 seconds for the Touch Screen to completely start up.
  • If the Control Box does not immediately power up upon plugging it into the Wall, the Emergency Stop may be activated. Rotate the Emergency Stop clockwise to release it and give power back to the machine.

Start Up Screen

• The first screen you will encounter is the screensaver.
  • Touch the screen anywhere to get to the home page. From this page you can get to the machine controls (start feeding button), view the run time of the machine (settings button), or find GreenBroz contact information (help button).

Start Feeding Screen

• From here, you can choose from two different run settings: Continuous Feed Control or Foot Pedal Control. The Speed Control slide bar at the bottom can adjust the speed of the feed of the Rise Conveyor from 0 to 2.5 kg. (5 lbs.) per minute.
  • Continuous Feed Contro l: This mode is for nonstop feeding of material. Feeding will begin after selecting the “ON” button.
  • Foot Pedal Control : This mode is for increased operator control. With the provided Foot Pedal, you can start and stop feeding at will. Plug in the Foot Pedal to the open connection on the back of the Control Box and select the Foot Pedal control button. You do NOT need to select “ON” for this mode, it will show a red light next to “OFF” until the foot pedal is compressed.

SHUT DOWNSHUT DOWN

• To shut down the machine, select “OFF” from the “Start Feeding” page (if in Foot Pedal mode, just release the Pedal) and then hit the Emergency Stop Button. From here you can unplug the machine from the wall.
  • It is recommended that before shutting the machine down completely that the interlocking laces of the belt ends are fully visible and accessible for easy belt removal.

EMERGENCY STOPEMERGENCY STOP

• AT ANY TIME, THE EMERGENCY STOP CAN BE PRESSED AND ALL POWER WILL BE REMOVED FROM ALL COMPONENTS.
  • The Emergency Stop Button will have to be slightly turned clockwise to be released and give power back to any part of the machine or Touch Screen.
• The Rise Conveyor should be running smoothly and with very minimal mechanical noises. The Belt should not be dragging against or colliding with the Hopper, Plastic Guides, or any of the Flanges or components on the underside of the machine.
• If at any time the machine begins to not function properly, like loud or unusual mechanical sounds or if there are possible electrical issues, the first thing the operator should do is hit the Emergency Stop and unplug the machine. Some examples of the issues that could arise would be
• The Belt is not moving, this could be from Gears slipping on the Conveyor Belt, mechanical drive chain issues, motor ceasing, or the motor not receiving power.
• The Belt has not been properly installed on the machine and is causing gear slipping or Motor ceasing.
• The Hopper and Belt are colliding at the base where the Belt enters the Hopper, this would be from improper installation of the Belt or Hopper.

CLEANING AND SANITIZA TIONTION

It is recommended that all stainless-steel components be cleaned with 99% Isopropyl Alcohol. All plastic components should be cleaned with soap and water. Both the Trimmer and Rise Conveyor are built with an IP 66 rating meaning they can be pressure washed with high pressure (using a 12.5 mm nozzle, 100 kPa at distance of 3 m). Before pressure washing the machines, make sure to remove both Control Boxes and cap any connections.
There are surfaces on the frame and components of the Rise Conveyor that should be paid special attention to because they come in direct contact with your product or the product side of the Belt whenever the machine is in use. These surfaces include but are not limited to

1. the internal side of the Primary Walls
2. the internal side of the Secondary Walls
3. the Lower Primary Walls
4. the internals of the Hopper
5. Shake Guards (not shown – see page 8, referenced as #3), the Frames Flanges
6. the Small Rollers
7. avoid getting any liquids or debris inside the Bearings), and the inside of the Chain Guards

Isopropyl alcohol is acceptable to use on the stainless steel surfaces only. Soap and water is to be used on any plastic components. Please refer to the material data sheets for more detailed information on acceptable cleaning products, handling, and the storage of these materials.
The Belt is a thermoplastic elastomer manufactured by Midwest Industrial Rubber, Inc. Please see reference 1 at the end of this user manual for specific information regarding cleaning and sanitizing your Rise Conveyor’s Belt.

TROUBLESHOOTINGTROUBLESHOOTING

Issue: No Power
Once you have plugged the machine into the appropriate voltage wall outlet, there are two possible reasons why the machine may not be receiving power

1. Ensure the Emergency Stop is not enabled. Lightly turn the E-Stop clockwise. If this was the issue, then the Touch Screen will immediately power up.
2. Check the fuses in the Control Box to make sure they have not blown. If they have, they will need to be replaced.

Issue: Stuck Toggle Clamps
If the Toggle Clamps have become stuck or locked up, just slightly rotate the mechanisms either way along the extending axis and they will release.

Issue: Belt Walking
If the operator finds that the Belt is excessively walking in one direction (i.e. riding up on the white UHMW guides, excessive wear, etc.), the operator must stop the machine and extend the one Toggle Clamp that is on the side that the excessive walk is occurring. It is recommended to only do one rotation of the Toggle Bearing at a time and restart the machine to remedy the walking issue. The below example shows a Belt walking to the left and how to adjust using the Toggle Bearing.

Issue: Belt Slipping
If the Drive Gears are slipping on the Belt, stop the machine immediately and check to make sure the Belt has been fully installed and tensioned with the Toggle Clamps. If the slipping is still occurring, extend the Toggle Bolts one full rotation at a time, then retry starting the machine. It is critical that the user extend the Toggle Clamps equally, or unnecessary wear may occur.

1. Insert the Door into the Door Motor Mount hole. Make sure the groove on the bottom of the Door Drive Shaft is engaged with the Motor by giving the Door a light twist. You should feel the Motor resisting the motion.
2. Repeat on the other side with the other Door.
3. Rotate both Plastic Swivel Door Locators inward toward the Doors to lock them in place.

DOOR INDEXINGDOOR INDEXING
When you receive your M+ Trimmer your Doors will be correctly calibrated. While it is unlikely, the doors may slip over time which will require them to be recalibrated. Perform the following steps to recalibrate the indexing of the Doors.

1. Remove both Doors from your machine and place them on a work surface.
2. Holding onto the Door firmly, use the 3/16” Allen wrench provided in your Starter Pack to loosen the bolt holding the Door to the Drive Shaft so that it can freely spin. (Note: you do not have to remove the bolt all the way)
3. Retrieve the Door Indexing Jig provided in your Starter Pack. Slip the jig between the Door and Drive Shaft aligning the jig with the notches cut into the Drive Shaft.
4. Once the jig is fully seated between the Door and Drive Shaft you can use the 3/16” Allen wrench to tighten the bolt on top.
5. Re-install the Door(s), Barrel, and Blades and continue trimming!
   Note: each Door and Drive Shaft is unique, do not switch the shafts or doors – however the Door Indexing Jig works on both sides.

 PRODUCT PREP AND TROUBLESHOOTING

PRODUCT PREPPRODUCT PREP

1. Remove water / fan leaves.
2. Remove flowers from the stems, just as you would for hand-trimming. Tip: Cut stem close to flower.
3. Hang drying your flowers keeps them in the best shape for trimming. Laying buds out to dry tends to press the leaves against the bud, making them harder to remove.
4. Stems should snap and leaves should be crispy and brittle so they break off, (not bend) when you run your finger down the bud.

*We recommend lowering the humidity on the last day of the drying cycle in order to crisp them leaves while keeping the bud spongy and moist.

PART 3: M+ TRIMMING SYSTEM

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

MAINTENANCE
In order to perform maintenance or clean the Trimmer and/or Rise Conveyor, make sure both machines are on level ground and have 4 feet of space surrounding the machine
for you to service the machine. Additionally, lock all Casters to keep the machine from rolling and disconnect power from both machines (NOTE: be sure to keep hands away from the Doors on the Trimmer when disconnecting power – they will close when power is disconnected). The following inspections should be performed to keep the machines safe and in good working order

Model M

ITEM DESCRIPTION INSPECTION FREQUENCY

• Trimmer Lid
  Open and close the Lid several times – Lid should open and close smoothly. If the Lid is cracked, replace the Lid.

  • Weekly

• Top and Bottom Blades
  Top and Bottom Blade should be removed to check for flatness. Both Blades should be flat and when sitting flush together, should not be able to slide more than a business card between them. If Blades don’t sit flat, consult the blade massaging video on our website. When reinstalling, check fit of Hub on Motor Shaft – should be smooth and not bind. Be careful when handling the Blades as they are sharp.

  • Weekly

• Teflon Ring
  Teflon Ring should be checked for wear – replace when only half the Teflon Ring remains.

  • Daily

• Doors
  Remove both Doors and reinstall them (see door removal section below) – make sure there is no buildup of material in the Motor Drive Shaft Hole in the Motor Mount

  • Daily

• Casters
  Check Casters for damage, ensure they roll smoothly. If there is any damage to the Casters that prevent them from operating normally, replace them.

  • Weekly

• Motor Wire
  Ensure that the Belt hasn’t been coming into contact with it. The Wire Cover should be clean and without cuts or defects. If the Wire has any type of imperfections, it must be repaired or replaced.

  • Daily

• Small Rollers
  They should spin freely and not come into contact with the White Plastic Guides that surround them – If they are not spinning freely, either the Guide or Roller must be adjusted as to have a gap or the small Roller must be replaced.

  • Daily

• Chain Sprocket Mechanism
  This should be inspected for looseness of the Chain or any obvious wear from the Sprocket’s Teeth. The Bearings holding the Gears and larger Sprocket should also be inspected for smooth spinning or any visible wear. If there is wear on the Chain or Sprockets Teeth or if the Bearings are not smoothly spinning, they need to be replaced.

  • Weekly

• Underside/Edges of conveyor belt
  The small lips on the bottom of the Belt need to be inspected to ensure the gears have not worn them down or there is not significant rubbing somewhere on the machine. If the Gears are slipping on the Belt even when properly tensioned and there is noticeable wear on these lips, the Belt will need to be replaced.

  • Weekly

11. Press the ‘Unload Settings’ button to adjust your unload cycle’s length and blade direction.

Depending on how long it takes for your product to exit the trimming area, you can increase or decrease your unloading time. The standard unload cycle is set to switch between forward and reverse twice – be sure to input your desired time and speed for each direction.
