NEVER TOUCH.

Turning the pulley by hand is important as this will show inappropriate contact of Mantle
and Concave, misalignment of gears or possible problems with bushings and bearings, whereas turning
under power may not.

2. Switch the machine on. The MSP cone is designed to be choke fed, operating empty for 5 minute
intervals is acceptable only for set up and testing. Do not operate empty for extended periods of time. After
reaching full speed, watch the movement of the ampere meter needle.

The Lubrication Oil Pressure will vary with ambient air temperature, oil temperature, oil viscosity, etc.
Normally, pressure is high at the start of operation when the oil temperature is low. The pressure should
gradually decrease and become constant as the temperature of the oil increases. When the oil temperature
is 50℃ (122℉), the oil pressure is approximately 1.5 kg/cm² (21 PSI).

9.6 Loaded Operation

Start the oil pump and confirm the return oil to the tank. Switch the Cone Crusher on. Feed ore to the
machine, dropping it into the center of the Tightening Nut (4060) as shown in Figure No. 4. Irregular or
uneven feed decreases the capacity of the Cone Crusher, makes the grain size distribution coarse and uneven,
causes localized abrasion of Concave & Mantle and actuates the release cylinders too frequently. Ensure
even choke feed of material at all times. Operating with less than choke fed crushing chamber for longer
than 5 minutes can result in head slap, increased and/or uneven eccentric bushing (3021) wear, increased
and/or uneven spherical seat (1111) wear, as well as reduced quality of production. Never run the cone with
an empty chamber unattended.

When operating the Cone Crusher, monitor the following:

① Action of the release cylinders

② Temperature of each bearing

③ Temperature of return oil and pressure of oil delivery

④ Variations of power Amperage

⑤ Lubrication oil pressure and flow.

9.7 Stopping the Cone Crusher

First, stop ore feed. Allow all material to pass through the crushing chamber (formed by mantle and
concave) as any material left over will make starting the cone difficult or be harmful for the machine. After
the crushing chamber is empty, you may switch off the Cone Crusher. Wait thirty seconds, as indicated on
the timer screen, for the Cone Crusher to cool down before turning off the lubrication oil pump.
