THIS IS THE SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL.
IT ALERTS AN OPERATOR TO INFOR-
MATION CONCERNING PERSONAL
SAFETY. ALWAYS OBSERVE, AND HEED,
THESE SYMBOLS AND INSTRUCTIONS, OTHERWISE DEATH, OR SERIOUS INJURY CAN
RESULT!
Operator safety is a principle concern in equipment
design and distribution. However, many accidents
occur because a few seconds of thought, and a
more careful approach to handling, were ignored.
ACCIDENTS CAN BE AVOIDED BY KNOWING,
AND, FOLLOWING, THE PRECAUTIONS CITED
IN THIS MANUAL.
For better viewing, certain photos may show a
safety shield open or removed. This equipment
should never be operated without factory installed
shields in place.
Replace any decals that are not readable, or missing. Their ordering numbers and proper location
are shown in the DECAL LOCATION section of
this manual. Keep decals free of dirt, grease, etc.
Throughout this manual, and on all safety related
decals, a safety alert symbol, along with the signal
word CAUTION, WARNING or DANGER will be
found.Thesearedenedasfollows:
CAUTION: A reminder for proper safety
practices and directs attention to fol-
lowing them. Decals of this class are
yellow and black.
WARNING: A reminder for proper safety
practices and what can happen if they
are ignored. This has a more serious
consequence than CAUTION. Decals of this
class are orange and black.
There are other decals, and copy, in this manual
that pertain to protecting the equipment. They are
not directly related to operator safety. These have
black letters on a white background to distinguish
them from safety decals. They lack the safety alert
symbol, but carry the words NOTICE or IMPOR-
TANTdenedasfollows:
NOTICE: INFORMS THE READER OF SOMETHING THAT CAN CAUSE MINOR MACHINE
DAMAGE, OR POOR PERFORMANCE, IF IGNORED.
IMPORTANT: WARNS THE READER OF POTENTIALLY MORE SERIOUS MACHINE DAMAGE, OR POOR PERFORMANCE IF IGNORED.

MAY CONTACT SHREDDER’S FRONT
PTO SHIELD ON TURNS. BE ALERT FOR
THIS AND MAXIMIZE TURNING RADII. REPLACE SHREDDER FRONT PTO SHIELD IF IT
BECOMES DAMAGED.
IMPORTANT: INITIALLY START SHREDDING
WITH UNIT SET SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER
THAN THE RECOMMENDED MINIMUM KNIFE/
ROW CLEARANCE OF 3”.
Shred a short distance and check performance.
The higher knife/row clearance may not give satisfactory results; therefore, lower unit and check
again. Progressively lower unit until good results
are obtained. DO NOT OPERATE WITH LESS
THAN 3” KNIFE CLEARANCE TO HIGHEST
GROUND POINT WITHIN SHREDDED WIDTH.
DWG. NO. 71504132
Always operate tractor at standard 1000 RPM
PTO. Use transmission up, or down, shift to
vary forward speed. CONSISTENTLY OVERSPEEDING THE PTO WASTES FUEL AND AGGRAVATES KNIFE WEAR.
Avoid “jackrabbit” PTO engagement at full speed
because it overstresses the shredder’s driveline.
Engage PTO at slow speed and throttle up to
operating speed.
Insert quick couplers to give shredder a DOWNWARD movement when tractor hydraulic lever is
shoved FORWARD and vice versa.
Once optimum height is set, insert equal amount
of hydraulic cylinder stop segments over the
rods of the lift cylinders to hold machine at desired height.
IMPORTANT: “SCALPING” ROWS WASTES
FUEL AND RAPIDLY AGGRAVATES KNIFE
WEAR. THIS IS PARTICULARLY TRUE IN
ROCKY FIELDS. IF YOUR FIELD HAS PROTRUDING ROCKS, KEEP UNIT’S HEIGHT
SUFFICIENT FOR KNIVES TO CLEAR THEM.
STALK SHREDDERS ARE NOT INTENDED TO
BE USED AS A “ROCK PICKER”, OR A “ROTOTILLER”.
Operate the shredder approximately LEVEL.
That is, front (Item 1) of main frame should clear
ground about the same as the rear (Item 2).

to run out of balance. Partially worn out SIDE
SLICER knives may be removed and reversed
to give a fresher cutting edge. HINIKER knives
are marketed singularly; however,
IMPORTANT: REPLACE KNIVES IN OPPOSITE (180° APART) SETS. ALSO, REPLACE
CORRESPONDING IDENTICAL KNIVES AT
OTHER END OF SAME ROTOR HALF.
Shredders are factory shipped with SIDE SLICER knives, per Photo 1575A.
Rotate the knives so that the edge of the side
slicer knives that is not worn is facing in the
direction of travel. Put the knives and bushing
back between the same ears that they came
from on the shredder rotor. Secure them by
torquing the 5/8 x 2 3/4” Gr. 8 bolt and lock nut
to 95 -110 lb. ft.
To replace side slicer knives loosen the 5/8” x
2 3/4” Gr. 8 bolt and lock nut.
Remove the bolt from the ears on the shredder rotor and pull out the two side slicer knives
and the bushing. See Photo DCP0594.
Examine the side slicer knives (Item 1), bushing (Item 2), 5/8 x 2 3/4” Gr. 8 bolt (Item 3) and
the 5/8” lock nut (Item 4). Replace the worn
knives and the bushings if worn or cracked.
Always replace knives in opposite (180 degree apart) sets. Also, replace corresponding
knives at the other end of the same rotor. This
will help to keep the rotors balanced. See Photo DCP0597.

BELTS
HINIKER shredders are EQUIPPED ONLY WITH
PREMIUM GRADE BANDED BELTS. Do not replace these with “garden variety” belts because
their power transmission capability, and durability, will be degraded.
NOTICE: ADEQUATE TENSION IS NECESSARY FOR FULL POWER TRANSMISSION
AND SATISFACTORY BELT PERFORMANCE.

washer can be seen
through sight hole
OUTER ROTOR BEARINGS
All rotor bearings are flange mounted and piloted. They have no eccentric locking collars and
are loosened from their shafts by removing (2)
3/8” Allen set screws from their inner races. Because of high vibration associated with shredders, these set screws are retained with an anaerobic threadlock (eg. Locktite 242 (blue) or
Perma-Lok HM 118 (red). Important: Use only
grade 5 bolts and type B lock nuts with thread
lock when replacing.
“glaze” and contribute to slippage. DO NOT
USE BELT DRESSING ON “V” BELTS. This
will aggravate poor belt function.
If evidence exists of belts overheating and/or
excessive side wrapper wear, check sheave
alignment. See Photo DCP0618, page 28.

remove it for placing on a workbench.
6. Remove the gearbox drain plug and discard
the lube.
The gearbox has no shims because preload and
backlash are factory set. To service this box proceed as follows:
1. Remove (12) 3/8” socket head bolts (Item
1) holding the 2 halves together. Tap input
shaft (Item 2) with a soft hammer, while
holding the output shaft (Item 3) off the work
table. Be careful to not damage the case’s
mating surfaces by prying them apart.
5. Whenever shafts are disassembled, make
sure the same thickness snap ring (Item 5)
are used to maintain backlash and preload.
There is (1) external snap ring used. For reassembly, capture bearings and seals in appropriate machined areas. Tap gently with
a soft hammer to seat, being careful to not
damage seals.
6. After both shafts have been reseated, apply
anaerobic sealant (eg. Locktite 518 (red) or
Perma-Lok HH 190 (dark purple) or Permatex silicone sealant 765-1344/1485) to
housing top half and reseat it on bottom
half. Apply pressure, or tap lightly, until top

Commercial anaerobic sealants have installation and SAFETY CAUTIONS on their containers. These should be adhered to.
2. The input and output shafts and gears are
precision tted. Do not separate them by
prying on an individual set. Lift them apart
together.
3. Remove old anaerobic sealant and complete necessary maintenance. Whenever a
gearbox is opened, all 3 oil seals (Item 4)
should be replaced. Lube the seal’s inside
diameters before reinstalling and insure
their spring garters are toward the gearbox’s
inside.
4. Clean gearbox of all dirt and metal particles.
Inspect all removed parts for wear. Replace
any bearing showing signs of pitting, inability to rotate freely and discoloration. Clean
any bearings to be reused and coat with
gear lube. Replace gears showing pitting,
breaks or de-formation. Replace input and
