GENERAL OPERATIONS

PREPPING YOUR PLANT:

2 STEPS FOR OPTIMAL PROCESSING

1) ENVIRONMENT PREPARATION

•

Ensure adequate space

•

Review electrical requirements

•

Have adequate bins for product transport

•

Cooler temperatures in processing room is beneficial

2) PLANT PREPARATION

•

Cut main stalk

•

Seperate each individual stem (no 'Y' junctions)

•

Leave 3" of stem for clearance into machine

•

Ensure clean angled cuts for precise feeding

•

Keep prepped product stem side up for efficiency

•

Size the stem to fit the ideal hole

•

Feed end first into machine

CLEANING

A thorough cleaning of the GC Bucker should be performed after each use. Any resin build-

up on the machine attracts more resin, compounding the problem. Build-up can cause

decreased performance, overheating and could trip your circuit breaker. Future cleaning

also becomes more difficult if build-up is given a chance to dry out and harden. Operating

the GC Bucker in a cold environment will also reduce resin build-up.

After disassembly, all chutes, springs and guards can be soaked using hot water and, or

wiped with isopropyl alcohol. Soak all other surfaces with soap and warm water and let sit

for 5-10 minutes. Repeat 2-3 times to soften the resin, then powerwash to remove debris.

Be sure to wash the under side of the cartridge also. Any stubborn areas, such as the top

plate, may require scrubbing with a stiff bristled or a plastic scraper (do not use a metal

scraper). Plant matter build-up is the most obvious sign that more attention is needed in a

particular area. Dry the machine with compressed air or a soft cloth.

Directions for cleaning:

1. Make sure Bucker is turned off

2. Using provided tools, remove Bearing Bar and then the Top Plate

3. Clean Top Plate with isopropyl alcohol using brushes provided

4. Spray Top Plate liberally with isopropyl alcohol

5. Wipe down using a soft cloth, making sure the machine is dry completely

6. Clear out any debris on the bottom of the chute

7. Spray blade liberally with isopropyl alcohol

8. Wipe down using a soft cloth, making sure the machine is dry completely

MATERIALS NEEDED

• Tool kit provided with Bucker

• Brush / Plastic scraper

• Spray bottle filled with isopropyl alcohol

• Soft cloths

INSPECTION

Inspection of the either GC Bucker should be conducted prior to each

use following the upcoming disassembly section and these steps:

1. Unplug the Bucker and visually inspect all of the components for wear, damage and plant

2. Remove the bearing plate, top plate. See disassembly section for instructions.

3. Inspect the blade for damage or cracking.

4. Remove springs and ensure the upper jaw rotates up and down freely.

5. Ensure the blade spins freely

6. Visually inspect the blower and ensure the Bucker is free of loose debris.

MACHINE MAINTENANCE

The GC Bucker is a precision machine. It is essential that it is operated and maintained

with this in mind. The machine has been adjusted and tested by the manufacturer prior to

shipping to ensure optimal performance. However, it is 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 blades spin freely.

In addition, it is highly recommended to clean the machine at the end of every use. This

ensures that the blades 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.

Resins and other plant by-products will build up and harden, becoming difficult to remove.

Cold water is recommended to spray on blades during harvest to reduce build-up.

NOTE

• There are a series of holes located on the front of the top plate for bucking

• Stems are fed through the holes of the machine by hand

• Each plant must have 3 inches of base stem to clear the buckers

• Please note all strains run differently and certain denser strains can need the top
