4 Closed Side
The gyratory motion of the cone in a Kodiak+ crusher is created by the rotation of the wedgeplate around the
baseframe spindle. The cone is mounted on the upper half of the wedgeplate. The center axis of the upper
half of the wedgeplate is offset from the lower half and inclined at an angle. The wedgeplate is driven by a
right angle spiral bevel gear powered by the pinion shaft, which is housed in the baseframe. The wedgeplate
and cone assemblies are supported by large radial and thrust roller bearings. Although the cone gyrates
about the main center axis of the chamber, it does not spin about its own center axis in the wedgeplate. The
cone is allowed to rotate slowly about its center axis in a clockwise direction during crushing, but is prevented
from rotating in an counterclockwise direction by an anti-spin cone brake. Prevention of spinning improves
liner wear life and improves the balance of the machine when running empty.
NOTICE: Damage to the crusher bearings could result from bringing a spinning cone head to an abrupt halt. In
addition, manganese steel does not hold up well under sliding abrasion so its life would be greatly reduced.

INTRODUCTION
KODIAK+ SERIES CRUSHER OVERVIEW
The upper assembly includes the bowl and liner and is threaded into the bowl support. The upper assembly
is held into place by the bowl clamp, which is a hydraulically controlled lock nut. As hydraulic pressure is
increased, the bowl clamp piston removes all end play in the threads, which in turn secures the bowl
assembly. The threaded connection allows the bowl to be rotated up or down to adjust the closed side setting
(CSS) using the remotely operated control panel. The bowl is turned by a bowl rotator assembly mounted on
the bowl support. A proximity sensor detects the number of turns the drive ring makes. An electronic counter
displays the CSS on the control panel. Since the position indicator does not consider changes in the CSS due
to liner wear, the bowl position indicator should be reset often.
Crushing Parameters
The life of your crusher depends on adherence to these instructions.
Material
• Material with a compressive strength greater than 40,000 pounds per square inch should be reviewed
and approved in advance by JCI.
• No more than 10% of the total volume of feed material is sized less than the crusher closed side setting.
• The crusher feed material conforms to the recommended feed size on at least two sides.
• Moisture content of material is below 5%.
• Feed gradation remains uniform.
• Clay or wood material in crusher feed is limited to prevent the formation of compacted material or
“pancakes” being created.
Mechanical
• Crusher operates at factory recommended tramp iron relief pressures without bowl float.
• Crusher support structure is level and evenly supported across all four corners. In addition, the support
structure provides adequate strength to resist static and dynamic loads. (See the installation drawing.)

Safety Overview
It is the responsibility of the quarry management team to develop a comprehensive safety awareness
program, and to ensure that all quarry workers and support personnel receive appropriate safety training as
approved by federal, state, and local regulations. Safety is basically common sense. There are standard
safety rules, but each situation has its own peculiarities, which can not always be covered by rules. Therefore,
quarry personnel must continually watch for possible safety hazards and be prepared to take prompt correc-
tive action when necessary. Failure to observe the precautions contained in this chapter can result in serious
personal injury and even loss of life. As with most industrial work environments, a careful operator is the best
insurance against an accident. The complete observance of one simple rule would prevent many unneces-
sary injuries and deaths each year.
The rule is:
“Never attempt to clean, lubricate, repair or adjust any machinery unless it is stopped and properly locked
out.”
Please note that this chapter is only intended as a brief review of basic quarry precautions and procedures.
The general guidelines included in the following paragraphs should not be considered in lieu of a quarry’s
official safety procedures, insurance company requirements, or applicable federal, state, and local regula-
tions.
When you see the symbol, pay particular attention to the advisory that follows as your safety and that of others
is involved.

injury.
• WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous condition that, if not avoided, COULD result in serious
personal injury or death.
• DANGER indicates a potentially hazardous condition that, if not avoided, WILL result in severe personal
injury or death.
Advisory Statements
The Note statements are advisory statements that relate to equipment operation, maintenance and service
procedures. They are used to draw attention to proper procedures and practices.
• NOTICE is used to draw attention to a procedure that must be observed to prevent machine damage or
malfunction.
• NOTE is a basic informational statement or helpful suggestion.

SAFETY
SAFETY OVERVIEW
Lockout/Tagout
What is Lockout/Tagout?
Lockout/tagout is a means to ensure that personnel who install, operate, repair, maintain, service or otherwise
disable machines, equipment, or electrical energy systems are protected from harm due to unexpected ener-
gizing, or the release of stored energy by:
1) Lockout – Placing a disconnect switch, circuit breaker, valve, or other energy-isolating mechanism in
the off or safe position and securing it with a lock so the energy-isolating mechanism cannot be acti-
vated.
2) Tagout – A prominent written warning (tag or label) placed on the energy-isolating mechanism indicating
the name of the individual placing the mechanism out-of-service, and stating that the energy isolating
mechanism cannot be activated until the tagout device is removed.
11
SAFETY
SAFETY OVERVIEW
Lockout/Tagout Rules
• Always lockout/tagout any machinery before performing any adjustment, inspection, lubrication, main-
tenance or repair procedures. Failure to observe this precaution may result in serious personal injury or
death.
• Your company’s lockout/tagout program may be somewhat different than described in this manual. If
so, be sure to completely follow your company’s official policies and procedures when lockout/tagout is
necessary. Consult your company’s safety officer if you have any questions.
• A lock must have only one user and one key. Anyone who installs a lock must keep the key in their
possession at all times. Except in an emergency situation, only the person that installs a lock is autho-
rized to remove it.
• To prevent accidental start-up, never give your lock or its key to another employee.
• Your key must open your lock only. Your key should not be capable of opening any other locks. Keys
for other locks should not be capable of opening your lock.
• Except in an emergency situation, never attempt to remove anyone else’s lock. Do not allow others to
remove your lock.
• When disconnecting power, be sure that the circuit breaker handle (or other isolating device) is in the
OFF position. Accidentally locking a control in the ON position could result in serious personal injury or
death.
• If two or more people are working on a machine, a multiple lockout device must be used to prevent acci-
dental start-up in the event that one person finishes working before another.
• Each lock must have a tag. If two or more people are working on a machine, each person must attach
a separate tag to their lock. Never attach a lock without a tag.
• Never use tags alone. A tag should always be accompanied by a lock which prevents the isolating
device from becoming energized.
12
SAFETY
SAFETY OVERVIEW
• After maintenance or repairs are completed, always warn all employees that the machinery is about to
be restarted. Be sure no one is on or near the equipment before a lock and tag is removed.
• As a precaution, always activate a warning horn or light before restarting the machinery. This will
provide additional warning for personnel to stay clear of machinery that is about to be started.
Lockout/Tagout Devices
3 Padlock
A lock must be sufficiently durable, so it can withstand the environmental conditions (heat, cold, moisture,
etc.) around it. A lock must also be strong enough so that it cannot be easily removed or forced open. A tag
or label must be affixed to each lock to alert others that service work is in progress. Each tag or label must
have the following characteristics:
• Be sufficiently durable to withstand wear and abuse, even if used in dirty or damp environments.
• Be securely attached with a cable that is difficult to remove, cut or tear.
• Contain the name of the person that applied it.
13
SAFETY
SAFETY OVERVIEW
• Contain a warning or other precautionary statement that briefly indicates why the machine is locked out
and what hazards could result if the equipment is started while service work is in progress.
When two or more people are working on a piece of equipment, a multiple lockout device must be used. This
allows each person to install their own lock, preventing accidental start-up.
Lockout/Tagout Procedure
1. Prepare for shutdown – Before shutting down a piece of equipment, know the type and magnitude of
the energy that powers it, the hazards of that energy, and how to control it. Warn all employees that the
machinery is about to be shut down.
2. Shut down the equipment – After warning all employees, shut down the machine, equipment, or elec-
trical system by the normal stopping procedure.
3. Control stored energy – Any potentially hazardous stored energy (electrical, mechanical, hydraulic,
pneumatic, etc.) that remains must be released, dissipated, restrained, or otherwise rendered safe. If
stored energy re-accumulates, monitor it until the possibility of accumulation no longer exists.
4. Isolate the equipment – Disengage all isolating devices, both primary and secondary, so that the equip-
ment is isolated from all of its energy sources (electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, etc.).
5. Apply lockout/tagout devices – Attach lockout tagout devices (according to your company’s safety
program) in such a manner that the isolating device (circuit breaker, control, etc.) will be held in a safe
or off position. Attach tags to alert others that the machinery is being serviced.
6. Verify that equipment is isolated – After warning all employees to stay clear, engage the start button to
confirm the machine is inoperable. Return the control to the off position before proceeding with
servicing.
14
SAFETY
SAFETY OVERVIEW
• Know where fire extinguishers are kept and how to use them. Be sure that fire extinguishers are properly
rated, and that they remain fully charged and ready for use at all times.
• Know the procedure for contacting emergency medical personnel. Keep a list of emergency phone
numbers handy at all times.
• Know where first-aid kits, stretchers and other emergency supplies are kept. Be sure that first-aid
supplies are properly maintained and ready for use.
• Make sure that a clear path to emergency equipment and exits is always maintained. Do not allow
equipment, spilled materials or other obstructions to get in the way.
• Know how to report accidents. Always report all accidents immediately to the appropriate supervisor.
15
SAFETY
SAFETY OVERVIEW
• Be aware of flammable liquids and other potential fire hazards. Do not smoke when refilling engines or
using cleaning solvents.
• Do not stand under equipment or components that are being hoisted or suspended. Never allow other
quarry personnel to do so.
• Before you assemble, operate, clean, lubricate, or adjust machinery, be sure to read and understand all
procedures contained in the machinery manufacturer’s manual.
• Be sure to operate quarry machinery in compliance with current OSHA and MSHA regulations, and all
applicable federal, state or local regulations.

Machinery Installation Safety
Foundations
Proper foundations and support structures are essential to ensure the safe and efficient operation of quarry
equipment.
• Crushing and screening machinery needs a firm foundation on which to operate. This does not need to
be a poured pad, but it must not be unstable ground. When selecting the location, be sure that the entire
area is as level as possible.
• Follow all manufacturer’s installation drawings and specifications when constructing the base pads for
permanent plants.
• If any questions arise regarding foundation requirements or modifications necessary for JCI machinery,
please contact the JCI Service Department.
• Customer-designed support structures for JCI equipment must meet JCI’s engineering standards. All
plans must be submitted in advance to the JCI Engineering Department for approval.
Guarding
• Quarry management is responsible for the proper installation and placement of guards to prevent
personnel from coming in contact with rotating or moving parts.
• In addition to the guards supplied with the machinery, additional guards and related safety equipment
may be required to comply with OSHA, MSHA and any applicable local regulations. The proper fabrica-
tion, installation and placement of these items is quarry management’s responsibility.
• When fabricating guards, refer to MSHA’s Guide to Equipment Guarding at Metal and Nonmetal Mines.
Additional information can also be provided by the safety officer at your work site.
• Never remove guards until the machinery is stopped, power is locked out, and controls are tagged. Be
sure that guards are properly re-installed before reconnecting power.
Customer Modifications
• Do not modify quarry machinery in any way without prior approval from the manufacturer. Such modifi-
cations may include (but are not limited to) changing machine speed or direction of rotation, drilling addi-
tional holes and welding or bolting additional equipment to the machinery.
• All customer modifications to JCI machinery must be approved in writing by the JCI Engineering Depart-
ment.

CRUSHER INSTALLATION
CRUSHER LIFTING GUIDELINES
The Kodiak+ crusher is extremely heavy, you must use a lifting device rated for the weight
of the crusher. Make sure that your lift rigging is also rated for the weight of the crusher.
Using lifting devices that are not adequate for the weight of the crusher could result in
serious injury or death.
NOTICE: Improper lifting procedures can result in permanent damage to the crusher and its components. Such
damage is not covered under warranty.
Do not allow anyone under the crusher as it is being hoisted, keep all bystanders away
from the area. Always use suitable rigging and hoisting equipment to stabilize and lift
heavy objects. Lifting heavy components with inadequate hoisting apparatus can
result in serious injury or death.
35
CRUSHER INSTALLATION
CRUSHER LIFTING GUIDELINES
Do not use the lifting eyes on the hopper assembly to lift the crusher. The hopper lifting
eyes are not designed for the weight of the crusher. Serious injury or death could
occur if the hopper eyes were to fail during lifting.
The Kodiak+ crusher is equipped with three lifting eyes located on the upper assembly that are rated to lift
the weight of the entire crusher.
36
CRUSHER INSTALLATION
CRUSHER LIFTING GUIDELINES
NOTICE: Failure to follow this step can result in a significant amount of oil discharging from the TIR plumbing.
11. Connect rigging to crusher using the lifting eyes provided in the bowl. DO NOT USE THE LIFTING
EYES ON THE HOPPER.
12. Connect tag lines to the crusher if necessary for stabilizing the crusher while it is suspended. The
crusher is ready to lift.
13. As the crane takes up the weight of the crusher, but prior to actually lifting the full weight, verify no oil is
leaking from the TIR assembly and that nothing is hung up on the crusher.
NOTICE: Do not approach the crusher when it is suspended, until it is directly over its final position and ready to
lower the last few inches.
NOTE: If the crusher is being placed on a steel support structure, follow steps 15-19. If it is being grouted to
a concrete structure, these steps can be omitted.
14. Set the crusher on its support structure with the mounting holes aligned. Do not bolt down yet, and do
not disconnect crane yet.
37

CRUSHER LIFTING GUIDELINES
15. If the weight of the crusher is fully supported by the support structure, go under the crusher and visually
verify that it is in solid surface-to-surface contact with the support structure at each bolt hole location. If
there is a gap at any bolt hole location greater than .063” (1.6mm), prepare to use shim(s) at that loca-
tion(s) to fill the gap. If there are no gaps larger than .063” (1.6mm) then no shims are required.
16. If it was determined that the shims are required, lift and block the crusher to allow the required shims to
be installed.
17. Set the crusher down on the shims and reinspect.
18. Repeat if necessary until the crusher is sitting flat on the structure with no gaps greater than .063”
(1.6mm).
19. Install the mounting bolts and tighten to refusal.

CRUSHER LIFTING GUIDELINES
9. IMPORTANT: Verify that TIR system has been capped so that oil cannot escape from TIR cylinders as
the crusher is lifted. When lifted, there may be some extension of the TIR cylinders. If the TIR has been
properly capped as described above, this will not damage the cylinders. Failure to follow this step can
result in a significant amount of oil discharging from the TIR plumbing.
10. Connect rigging to crusher using the lifting eyes provided in the bowl. DO NOT USE THE LIFTING
EYES ON THE HOPPER.
11. Connect tag lines to the crusher if necessary for stabilizing the crusher while it is suspended. The
crusher is ready to lift.
12. As the crane takes up the weight of the crusher, but prior to actually lifting the full weight, verify no oil is
leaking from the TIR assembly and that nothing is hung up on the crusher.
13. Do not approach the crusher when it is suspended, until it is directly over its final position and ready to
lower the last few inches.
14. Set the crusher down.

CRUSHER INSTALLATION
CRUSHER PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
NOTICE: You should have the installation drawing before you read this section and before you develop your plan to
install the crusher.
The installation drawing can be found in the manual set for your crusher, in a pocket inside the hydraulic
power unit electrical panel, or on the KPI-JCI website. Contact your dealer or JCI directly if you cannot locate
the drawings and schematics.
3 Lubrication Package
4 Oil Cooler
Support Structures
The support structure and foundation must transmit impact loads from the crusher to the ground. Design of
the foundation and structure must account for dead loads and crusher impact live loading. The crusher has
cyclic loading at four mounting bolts, at a frequency equal to the wedgeplate rotational speed of 320-360
RPM. The installation drawing contains loading information for your crusher.
Stationary Plants
The foundation must be designed with load bearing ability to support the combination weight of the crusher,
its impact live load, support structure, and material being processed. The foundation must be flat and level.
If the crusher is mounted directly to a concrete foundation, use epoxy grout between the frame and the foun-
dation to ensure proper bearing. If the crusher is mounted to steel beams, use steel shims to adjust for any
irregularities in the mounting surface. Shims are included in the box of auxiliary parts that come with each
crusher.
Portable Plants
Mounting the Kodiak+ crusher on a portable trailer plant requires special design considerations. Refer to the
installation drawing for your particular Kodiak+ crusher for loading design guidelines. The main objective is
to direct crusher impact loads through the trailer frame to the ground. To minimize flexing, the trailer frame
should be cribbed directly under the crusher support structure connections to the trailer beams. Mount the
crusher plant on a solid foundation of level compacted aggregate base. The illustration below is a typical
mounting structure for portable plants.
The crusher mounting surface must be flat and level all around. Leveling of a portable crusher is accom-
plished by blocking the trailer frame with cribbing, or jacking trailer frame support legs.

CRUSHER INSTALLATION
CRUSHER PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Clearance
• Allow enough clearance to perform daily lube oil service, visual inspection, and maintenance of the
tramp iron cylinders. JCI recommends 30" (76.2cm) of minimum clearance all around the crusher, from
the base to the feed hopper.
• Under crusher discharge hoppers and conveyors should be designed to allow sufficient room to allow
servicing of the cone brake at the bottom of the crusher in the center of the baseframe spider. JCI
recommends a minimum of 24" of vertical distance from the crusher mounting surface to the discharge
belt at the center of the crusher. Access to crusher mounting bolts should also be taken into consider-
ation.
• In the event tramp iron enters the feed material and finds its way into the crushing chamber, the upper
assembly will rise to allow the uncrushable material to pass through the chamber. Vertical clearance will
also be required for the clear feature, which will raise the upper assembly to allow a feed rock jam to
pass through the crushing chamber. See the installation drawing for vertical clearance required for your
particular crusher. When positioning the feed conveyor, allow vertical clearance equal to or greater than
that recommended on your installation drawing.
• When performing a manganese change or crusher tear-down, the upper section of the crusher must be
removed. See the installation drawing for your particular crusher for required clearance. In addition,
there should be no permanent structures in place that would interfere with lifting cables being used to
remove the upper section from the crusher.

CRUSHER INSTALLATION
MASTER PLC/HMI PANEL
1 HMI
The Master PLC/HMI remote control panel is the standard control interface. It is designed for indoor or
outdoor use and comes as basic equipment with each control assembly.
External control systems, such as plant-wide computer control networks, may issue commands for START,
STOP, UP, DOWN, CLEAR to the Master PLC/HMI enclosure via connections provided (see electrical sche-
matic). Auxiliary ESTOP controls may also be provided. However, actual operational control of the crusher
and its lubrication and hydraulic systems are handled entirely by the Kodiak Crusher Control (MILO).
The HMI panel is connected to the HPU by a cable that contains 24VDC to power the PLC and modbus cable
to connect the main MASTER PLC (located in the HMI panel) to the SLAVE PLC (located in the HPU electrical
enclosure). The standard length for the cable to the hydraulic unit is 50’ (15.24M). The location of the remote
control panel should be considered early in the design process so that the proper cable length can be chosen.
Even though the electrical enclosure and HMI are designed for a variety of environmental conditions, some
consideration must be made to protect against flying rocks and debris that can be encountered around rock
crushing plants.

LUBRICATION SYSTEM
Lubrication System
Lube oil is circulated through the crusher from a remote lubrication assembly with an oil reservoir. The
Kodiak+ crusher lubrication system is designed to provide your crusher with a continuous supply of filtered
and cooled oil.

CRUSHER INSTALLATION
LUBRICATION SYSTEM
The lube pump pulls oil from the reservoir and then pumps it through the oil filter and flow sensor. The oil is
sent back to the crusher where it is pumped up the baseframe spindle to the bearings. The oil drains down
through the bearings to the pinion tunnel, lubricating the gears and pinion bearings along the way. Oil flows
by gravity back to the reservoir.
It is recommended that when the crusher is new and you are becoming familiar with the machine you observe
the oil level in the sight glass when the machine first starts up. The oil level will drop dramatically after the
lube pump starts. The level will continue to drop until return flow from the crusher reaches steady state. This
is normal and the effect is more pronounced when the oil is cold. The amount of the oil level drop is influenced
by a number of reasons and will vary from crusher to crusher. Then it will slowly start to come back up in the
sight glass as the oil warms up. Generally, if the oil is reasonably warm and the reservoir was full at startup,
the oil level will remain visible in the sight glass. As long as oil is visible in the sight glass, there is at least 14
gal [53L] remaining. As the oil warms up, the level in the sight glass will begin to come back up, but will never
reach full when the crusher is running. For instance, a K300+ operating at 120°F (49°C) will show approxi-
mately 19 gal (72L). The actual level will vary by both model and temperature. Operators and/or personnel
working around the crusher should become familiar with what is normal for their particular crusher.
Check the lube oil pump motor rotation carefully. There is an arrow on the pump. Make sure the motor rota-
tion matches this arrow. Verify that oil is flowing when the pump is running. An easy way to check is by
observing the visual bypass indicator on the filter. Observe the bypass indicator when the pump first starts
and verify that the indicator moves from left to right. Depending on oil temperature, it may return to its original
position after the flow stabilizes but should always move left to right when the pump first starts.

6. Connect the supplied SO cord for providing 120VAC power to the lube assembly heaters.
7. Use the branch on the lube assembly harness to connect the hydraulic cone brake pressure transducer
(for crushers equipped with this option). The cable for making this connection is provided with the
crusher when this option is chosen. The length is such that it can be routed along with the lube supply
hose.
8. When all lubrication connections are complete, verify that the reservoir is full. Some loss of lubricant
during shipping and installation is not unusual.
CAUTION: The Kodiak+ crusher hydraulic system uses high pressure fluid. Exposure
to high pressure oil could cause severe injury or death. Always depressurize the
hydraulic system before conducting maintenance or service.
Keep in mind the following guidelines while servicing your hydraulic system:
• Allow time for hot hydraulic oil to cool before performing any maintenance or repairs. Hot oil can cause
burns.
• Before loosening fittings or removing components, always recheck that ALL pressure is relieved from
the system. Pressure gauges must read zero (0) psi (bar).
53
CRUSHER INSTALLATION
CRUSHER HYDRAULIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Never have your face near or stand directly in front of a hydraulic line when cracking a fitting, even after
system pressure has been relieved. Always assume that the line has pressure.
• Use a piece of cardboard to check for hydraulic oil leaks, not your hand. Escaping fluid under pressure
can penetrate the skin, resulting in personal injury.
• Clean up any spilled hydraulic fluid. Hydraulic fluid is extremely slippery, and can be especially
dangerous if spilled on an elevated walkway or platform.
• Repair any leaks immediately. Always relieve system pressure and lockout/tagout power before tight-
ening fittings or making repairs.
• Never attempt to adjust pressure relief valves higher than the specified settings. Serious personal injury
and/or equipment damage could result. Do not operate the hydraulic system with worn, damaged, or
leaking components. Always replace any defective components immediately.
• Never place hands on hydraulic cylinder rods while equipment is in operation. Do not step on the
hydraulic relief cylinder hoses.
• Refer to manufacturer’s instructions when recharging hydraulic accumulators or checking accumulator
pressure. Allow only trained hydraulic system technicians to depressurize, recharge or repair hydraulic
accumulators.

CRUSHER INSTALLATION
BOWL CLAMP
Bowl Clamp
The bowl clamp is a hydraulic piston that prevents the bowl from spinning when the crusher is operating.
When the bowl clamp circuit is pressurized, the bowl clamp is forced upward. This action causes the threads
in the bowl clamp to push against the bowl threads, thus keeping the bowl from turning. Anti-rotation pins in
the bowl clamp and bowl support keep the bowl clamp ring from spinning. When the bowl is raised or lowered,
the clamp is depressurized to allow the bowl to rotate.
59
CRUSHER INSTALLATION
BOWL CLAMP
1 Anti-Rotation Pin
60
CRUSHER INSTALLATION
BOWL CLAMP CIRCUIT
The Kodiak+ hydraulic system automatically controls the bowl clamp pressure. The pressure is sensed by
and displayed on pressure transducer PT1, mounted on the top right-hand side of the hydraulic manifold. If
the pressure drops below the low set point, the pump starts and solenoid S3 is energized. When S3 is ener-
gized, oil is sent to the bowl clamp and also the bowl clamp accumulator. When the pressure reaches the high
set point, S3 is de-energized and oil is trapped in the circuit by check valve CPV2. After a time delay, the
pump is shut off.
It is necessary to bleed the pressure from the bowl clamp circuit whenever the bowl is removed, as a normal
part of troubleshooting, when adjusting the system pressures, or any time any part of the hydraulic system is
disconnected. When removing the bowl, or any time the bowl is rotated beyond the upper limit of the crushing
zone, bleed all the pressure from the bowl clamp circuit and disconnect the hose to prevent damage to the
bowl clamp seal.
NOTE: Do not disconnect bowl clamp quick coupler without relieving the pressure (NV1). Pressure will be
come trapped in the hose making it difficult to reconnect.
CAUTION: Always relieve the pressure from the bowl clamp circuit prior to
disconnecting or disassembling any part of the hydraulic system. Serious injury or
death can occur from exposure to high pressure oil. Follow all lockout/tagout and
related safety regulations.
61
CRUSHER INSTALLATION
BOWL ROTATION MOTOR
The bowl rotation drive system is composed of a gear box and a hydraulic motor. A pinion gear on the gear
box shaft meshes with the drive ring gear. When the BOWL UP/BOWL DOWN buttons are pressed, hydraulic
oil is directed to the bowl rotation motor causing the bowl drive ring to turn. Pressure to the bowl clamp is
simultaneously reduced to permit rotation.
NOTICE: Never allow the bottom of the drive ring to move above the “STOP” level on the Crushing Zone decal.
Rotating the bowl above the “STOP” level without following the bowl removal procedures in the Service section can
result in a sudden significant loss of hydraulic oil and could possibly damage the bowl clamp seal. Read and
understand the principles of the Crushing Zone and Bowl Rotation in this manual before attempting to rotate the
bowl.

TIR PRESSURE CONTROLS
The TIR make-up oil control valve (S7), located on the left-hand side of the manifold behind the pump pres-
sure gauge, allows hydraulic oil to go from the accumulator to the tramp iron relief system but not back to the
accumulators when the system is over-pressurized due to bowl float or tramp iron.
66
CRUSHER INSTALLATION
TIR PRESSURE CONTROLS
Whenever the pump is operating, the pressure at the pump discharge port is displayed on the pump pressure
gauge (GP3). If the pump is running and the gauge reads zero, it means that all control signals have been
satisfied.
67
CRUSHER INSTALLATION
TRAMP IRON RELIEF (TIR) CIRCUIT
The upper assembly is clamped to the baseframe by a group of hydraulic cylinders that are connected in
parallel and spaced equally around the crusher. Every other cylinder is equipped with a relief valve that is
situated in a cavity connected to the retract and extend ports of the cylinder. If the load increases to the point
that the pressure within the cylinder exceeds the set point of the relief valve, the valve opens, allowing oil to
escape from the retract <TIR> end of the cylinder and enter the extend <CLEAR> end of the cylinder. This
allows the cylinders to act as a group of hydraulic latches. If the load within the crushing chamber exceeds
the maximum hold down force, the hydraulic system will unlatch and relieve the load. The resulting sudden
loss of pressure will cause the relief valves to close and the hydraulic system will pump oil back into the cylin-
ders and re-latch the upper assembly in place.
The hydraulic system senses and maintains TIR operating pressure automatically. The current TIR pressure
is displayed on pressure transducer PT2, located on the upper left-hand corner of the hydraulic manifold. An
accumulator is provided in the TIR circuit. Unlike accumulator based TIR systems, this accumulator has no
shock absorbing function. The accumulator provides makeup oil only. The relief valves have a small normal
leak rate. Oil in the TIR accumulator is used to replace the oil lost to this leakage and increases the time
between recharging cycles.
When the TIR pressure drops below the low end of the operating range, the pump starts and energizes TIR
control solenoids S1 and S7. Energizing solenoid S1 allows oil to enter the retract end of the hydraulic cylin-
ders. Energizing S7 allows oil to fill the TIR accumulator. When the high end of the operating range is reached
S1 and S7 are de-energized. Oil is trapped in the circuit by check vale CPV1. After a time delay, the pump is
turned off.
If the automatic control is unable to maintain TIR pressure within the normal operating range, it will indicate
that the pressure is low by a steady blinking indicator light and a warning message. If the TIR pressure falls
below 1500 psi (103.4 bar), the indicator lamp will flash and the system will allow a short delay to see if the
hydraulic system can automatically correct the problem. If after five (5) seconds the low pressure cannot be
corrected, a shutdown sequence will be initiated.
68
CRUSHER INSTALLATION
CLEAR CIRCUIT
It is necessary to bleed the pressure from the TIR circuit as a normal part of troubleshooting and adjusting
the system pressures or any time any part of the hydraulic system is disconnected.
CAUTION: Always bleed the pressure from the TIR and bowl clamp circuit prior to
disconnecting or disassembling any part of the hydraulic system. Serious injury or
death can occur from exposure to high pressure oil. Follow all lockout/tagout and
related safety regulations.
Clear Circuit
In the event that the crushing chamber becomes plugged, the TIR cylinders may be extended to clear the
chamber.
When the CLEAR pushbutton is pressed, solenoids S2 and S6 are energized. Solenoid S2 directs oil to the
extend port of the hydraulic cylinders. Solenoid S6 closes the port between the extend port and tank and
allows pressure to build in the bottom of the cylinder. This pressure will open the pilot operated check valve
CPV1 and allow the oil in the top end of the cylinder to return to tank. The upper assembly will rise off the
baseframe as oil continues to fill the bottom of the cylinder. It is not unusual for the cylinders to extend at
different rates. If the CLEAR pushbutton is held long enough all the cylinders will reach the end of their stroke,
and the pressure will build to the main system relief pressure. The pressure in the bottom of the cylinders will
be equal to the pump pressure shown on gauge GP3. The TIR transducer should drop to zero once all the oil
has been forced from the top of the cylinders and TIR accumulator has discharged.
CAUTION: Never reach into the gap or insert tools into the gap between the upper
assembly and baseframe when the upper assembly is elevated.
CAUTION: Do not block the upper assembly in the raised position when the hydraulic
system is energized.

CRUSHER INSTALLATION
HPU CONNECTIONS
Prior to working on the hydraulic system, verify that all circuits are depressurized. The
crusher is shipped with the hydraulic system full of oil and accumulator nitrogen
pressure set at 1900 psi (131 bar). The hydraulic system is depressurized prior to
shipment, but the system may gain some pressure due to thermal expansion. There
are two needle valves provided on the manifold inside the hydraulic power unit to allow
the manifold to be depressurized. The valve on the left hand side of the manifold
depressurizes the TIR circuit and the valve on the right hand side depressurizes the
bowl clamp circuit. Each valve has a hand wheel and a lock nut. Unlock the lock nut by
turning it counter clockwise slightly, then open the valve by turning it counterclockwise.
• Five (5) hydraulic hoses connect the crusher to the hydraulic control manifold located on the side of the
HPU enclosure.
• The HPU SLAVE PLC and I/O rack are also located in a separate enclosure mounted here. All input
sensors, control valves, etc., are monitored and/or controlled through I/O components in this enclosure.

provided and should be adequate for most feed hoppers. Longer/shorter cables can be provided as optional
equipment. One end of the sensor cable terminates at the sensor. The other end of the sensor cable termi-
nates at the junction box located on the bowl rotator assembly on the bowl support.
74
CRUSHER INSTALLATION
HOPPER LEVEL SENSOR
2 Cable Input
Within MILO, the hopper level sensor may be enabled or disabled as required. If enabled, the sensor is used
by the PLC to determine if the feed conveyor should be stopped or started. If the Kodiak Crusher Control is
wired into the plant such that it has direct control of the feed conveyor, then the hopper level sensor will act
as a hopper overflow control.
The control setup consists of configuring a “Sensor On Delay” and a “Feed Conveyor Off Period.” If the sensor
detects a target within its sensing window for an uninterrupted time period equal to the on delay period, the
PLC disables the feed conveyor output for a time period equal to the conveyor off period. At the end of the
off period, the conveyor will be re-enabled. If the sensor still detects a target within its range, the process will
be repeated. If no target is detected, the conveyor will remain enabled. By requiring that the sensor detect a
target for an uninterrupted period of time, it is possible to avoid incorrectly confusing a full hopper with indi-
vidual rock(s) bouncing momentarily into the sensing window.
Fully automated systems that include control of variable speed feed equipment can access the hopper level
sensor output either directly by rerouting the cable to the main plant computer or by accessing the Kodiak
Crusher Control via modbus network.
75

HOPPER LEVEL SENSOR
1. Choose a location with a clear unimpeded view of the feed hopper that is as high above the full level as
practical while still providing a solid platform.
2. Provide some means for protecting the sensor from physical damage by flying feed material.
3. Mount the sensor.
4. Program the sensing range. The far end of the sensing range is the “full” level. The full level will neces-
sarily be a guess at this point. This guess will be refined in later steps.
5. From the HMI MAIN screen, choose MAINTENANCE MODE.
6. Scroll down to HOPPER LEVEL SENSOR ADJUST and press SELECT.
7. In the HOPPER LEVEL SENSOR SWITCH ADJUST screen set both delay times to the maximum
values.
76
CRUSHER INSTALLATION
HOPPER LEVEL SENSOR
NOTE: Use the SCROLL button to move within a submenu. Use the TAB button to move from one submenu
to the next.
8. Disable the control by setting Sensor Enable to “OFF.” The purpose of this step is to allow the operator
to establish flow of rock through the crusher using manual controls until it is determined that the sensor's
“full” level is appropriate.
9. Complete all other installation steps and run the crusher using manual feed control until familiar with the
crusher and the crushing circuit in general.
10. As the crusher hopper reaches the desired full level, have someone monitor the sensor LEDs. If the
sensor LEDs come on when rock reaches the desired full level and the LEDs go out when the level
drops lower in the hopper then the sensor is okay. If not, readjust the sensor as required when the
crusher is shut down. Repeat as required until the full level can be reliably detected.
11. When the appropriate full level is reliably detected, go to the configuration screen and enable the feed
control. When the feed reaches the full level and the LEDs come on for an uninterrupted time period
equal to the configured on delay, the feed conveyor should be disabled.
77
CRUSHER INSTALLATION
HOPPER LEVEL SENSOR
12. If the conveyor stops but the hopper overflows, the on delay period needs to be reduced and/or the full
level needs to be lowered. In general a longer on delay makes the system less sensitive to false indica-
tions. Adjust as required to get the ideal combination of full level and on delay.
13. If the hopper does not overflow, the full level and on delay times are okay. Observe as the feed level
drops in the hopper during the conveyor off time. If the chamber completely empties and the crusher is
no longer choke fed, then reduce the conveyor off time as required to increase the minimum hopper
level. Generally, keep the conveyor off delay as long as practical to reduce the number of motor on/off
cycles while still maintaining a choke fed condition.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The feed control alone is primarily an overflow protection system and can only
enable/disable the feed conveyor. To function as part of a fully automated feed system with a minimum
number of conveyor stop/start cycles, the crusher feed circuit will require some form of variable speed feed
delivery as well. Variable speed feeders with or without controls are available as optional equipment.
Program the sensor to detect a window with a “near” and “far” limit. The far target detects the desired hopper
full level. Any time an object is within this window the output LEDs on the sensor will light up and a signal will
be sent to the control system. The system will interpret the signal to indicate that the hopper is full only if a
sustained uninterrupted signal is received for a time period equal to the configured on delay time.
1 Sensing Window
3 Near Target
The key point to remember when setting up the sensing range is that the feed conveyor is enabled if the
sensor LEDs are off and the feed conveyor is disabled if the sensor LEDs are on.
78
CRUSHER INSTALLATION
HOPPER LEVEL SENSOR
Make the sensing window as large as practical. If the window is too small, it is possible to make the sensor
too sensitive and risk missing a full condition.
1. Choose the output for the first set of window limits (discrete) and push and hold the corresponding
button until the green Power LED goes OFF and the appropriate yellow Output LED turns ON (solid).
This indicates the sensor is waiting for the first limit.
NOTE: Program the “near” target first then the “far” target. The near target should be no closer than 12” from
the sensor.
2. Position a flat metal or wood object (target) for the first limit and briefly “click” the same button. This will
teach the sensor the first limit. The yellow Output LED will flash to acknowledge receiving the first
window limit; it is now waiting for the second limit.
79
CRUSHER INSTALLATION
STACK LIGHT (OPTIONAL)
NOTE: Press and hold the same button > 2 seconds (before teaching the second limit) to exit PROGRAM
mode without saving any changes. The sensor will revert to the last saved program.
3. Position the target for the second limit and “click” the button again. This will teach the sensor the second
limit. The yellow Output LED turns off and the green Power LED comes on; the sensor is now in normal
RUN mode.
4. When the sensor is programmed, test the sensor by holding a target in front of the sensor until the
sensor output LEDs light up. Move the target back/forth to find the distance where the LEDs first come
on. This is the “full” level. Move the target away. The LEDs should remain off everywhere within the
chamber lower than the “full” level.
5. When the “full” level is acceptable, go to the HOPPER LEVEL SENSOR ADJUST configuration screen
and set up the on delay and conveyor off period.
NOTICE: For the safety of plant personnel as well as the crusher and other plant machinery, JCI strongly
recommends constant human oversight of the crusher and all other related heavy equipment.

Verify that all power is disconnected prior to making any connections. Refer to the
safety section on lockout/tagout procedures.
JCI recommends that motor control centers be removed from portable plants and placed on the ground during
crushing operation. Provision for removing the motor control center from the trailer needs to be considered
when planning the cable routing between the motor control center and various components.

speed. If 50Hz is specified when the order is placed, the appropriate pump will be installed. When
moving a crusher from a 60Hz to a 50Hz environment or vice versa, consult the factory for the appro-
priate pump conversion. Although the frequency also affects the hydraulic pump, the flow rate is not as
critical as in the case of lube flow and hence no pump conversion is required.
Power Transmission
The maximum efficiency for your production requirements is the proper combination of speed, horsepower
and closed side setting. The pinion shaft speed has a range from 750 to 1000 RPM. This speed is determined
by the desired gradation, production capacity and reduction ratio. In the absence of any specific application
requirements, 900RPM is the default speed. Increasing the pinion speed or horsepower beyond that recom-
mended by JCI may shorten the life of the bearings and other power transmission components.
NOTICE: Running the Kodiak+ crusher outside the JCI operating parameters will void your warranty.
Crusher drive motors should be normal starting torque design A or B, totally enclosed fan cooled housing and
designed for the V-belt drive overhung load. When using a dual motor drive, both motors shall be the same
type, model and manufacture.
Motor Topics
The Kodiak Crusher Control comes with hydraulic pump (15 hp [11 kW]), lube pump (3 hp [2.2 kW]), and oil
cooler fan (1 hp [.75 kW]) motors already provided. The crusher drive motor(s) are typically provided by the
customer but are available as optional equipment. The starting equipment for all of the motors is likewise typi-
cally provided by the customer but is available as optional equipment.
Motor Controls
It is necessary for the Kodiak Crusher Control to have direct operational control of the hydraulic pump, lube
pump and oil cooler motors. No on/off pushbuttons are provided. Motor starter coils are connected directly to
output terminals in the HPU electrical enclosure. Operational control of the crusher drive motor(s)
enable/disable is also required but is somewhat more complex. An on/off switch with an indicator lamp is
provided on the HMI enclosure.

CRUSHER INSTALLATION
MOTOR TOPICS
The transducer is installed so that the motor conductor enters it from the side marked “H1” (shown in photo),
passes through the transducer and the motor is on the side marked “H2”.
They are installed in the customer's Motor Control Center (MCC) during installation and setup of the Kodiak
Crusher Control. These specific motor current transmitters must be connected to the Kodiak Crusher Control
system during installation. Do not substitute.

NOTICE: Failure to stop feed conveyors when requested can result in plugging the crushers, which can result in
crusher damage or hours spent digging out piles of rock, or both.
The feed conveyor enable output will remain disabled for one 45 seconds after the crusher starts to allow time
for the crusher to come up to full speed before introducing rock.
Most of the faults that can cause an interlocked crusher shutdown will disable the feed conveyor output with
enough delay time to allow for other equipment to be stopped and the crusher to empty.
I f the crusher motor stops, the feed conveyor signal is disabled immediately.

2 The bowl liner is not in contact with the mantle anywhere (CSS>0)
The maximum vertical drop from the highest feed conveyor to the top of the
6
cone is less than 7'[2.134M].
System Testing
After the crusher and supporting systems are properly installed, persons qualified to work on electrical equip-
ment can energize all the electrical systems. If motor rotations have not been verified, now is the time to check
and/or correct them.
The crusher is now ready for hydraulic and lube functional testing and initial startup. It will be helpful to have
someone at the remote control panel, another at the HPU and another with a clear view of the crusher.
1. Prior to startup, verify that the lubrication heaters are connected properly. If the ambient temperature is
below 80°F (26°C) there should be current in both heater circuits whenever the ESTOP switch is closed.
2. Press CRUSHER START on the Kodiak Crusher Control.
• The lube assembly horn should sound.
• The lube flow meter should register flow (8gpm K300+/K400+/K500+, 6gpm K200+).
• The oil level should drop significantly in the sight gauge but will typically not drop out of the sight gauge
altogether.
• After 30 seconds the crusher drive motor(s) should start.
3. Verify the crusher drive proper rotation. A portion of the pinion shaft should be visible between the belt
guard and the crusher. The proper rotation direction is indicated by an arrow in this same vicinity.
4. After a few moments of running, the oil should stop dropping in the lube unit oil reservoir sight gauge
and it will slowly start to come back up.
96
CRUSHER INSTALLATION
SYSTEM TESTING
5. The crusher should be running and sound like heavy rotating machinery, but there should be no sounds
that would indicate impact is occurring anywhere. If there is any violent movement of the crusher
support structure, verify that all crusher supports are still properly cribbed, all bolts are still tight, all
support structures are rigid etc.
6. Observe the cone head gyration. The cone should clearly gyrate in the chamber, but the cone should
not spin around its own center axis. If the cone is spinning counter clockwise there is a cone brake
malfunction. If it is spinning rapidly in the clockwise direction, the motors are running backward. If it is
turning slowly (approx 5-7 rpm) in the clockwise direction then the bowl liner is contacting the mantle
and you should be hearing some unusual noise as well.
7. If you have elected to zero the bowl position indicator with the crusher running, now is the time.
8. Turn off the crusher.
9. Press ESTOP.
1. Verify that all personnel are clear from under, over or around the crusher and/or the feed and discharge
equipment.
2. Pull out the ESTOP button on the remote control panel.
3. The hydraulic motor should start immediately and bring the TIR system and bowl clamp up to their
proper operating pressures. The correct pressures are listed on the hydraulic schematic and should also
be posted on the inside of the HPU door.
4. When the pressures come up to the proper values, the control valves should shift back to neutral, the
pump pressure should drop to 0 psi, but the motor should continue to run for at least another two (2)
minutes.
5. Verify that there are no leaks anywhere within the HPU cabinet, at any hose connections or at the TIR
cylinders or bowl clamp.
6. Test the CLEAR function by pressing the CLEAR pushbutton. It will take several seconds for the all of
the cylinders to press up on the upper assembly.
7. Continue to hold the CLEAR pushbutton as the upper assembly raises off the upper assembly. It is not
unusual for the cylinders to extend at different rates. The horn on the HPU should sound.
8. Continue to hold the CLEAR pushbutton until all cylinders have reached the end of their stroke. It should
be possible to hear the hydraulic system pump over the main relief valve. The pump pressure gauge
should increase to approximately 3300 psi.
9. Release the CLEAR pushbutton. The upper assembly should immediately begin to come back down.
Again, it is not unusual for the cylinders to retract at different rates.
10. The upper assembly should come all the way down and sit firmly on the upper assembly. It may not be
perfectly level and square at this point. All of the rotation stops should be fully engaged. The rotation
stop gaps may not all be even at this point.
11. The TIR pressure should restore itself automatically.
12. Check for leaks at the TIR hoses and cylinders.
13. Press the BOWL UP pushbutton. It will take a few seconds but the bowl should start to rotate from right
to left. If not, then the hoses are reversed. If it does not rotate at all, check to see if the hoses are
97

SYSTEM TESTING
crossed. Rotate only enough to verify that the function works properly. Do not allow the bottom of the
bowl drive ring to pass out of the CRUSHING ZONE indicated on the drive gear supports.
14. Press the BOWL DOWN pushbutton. It will take a few seconds but the bowl should rotate from left to
right. Rotate only enough to verify that the function works properly. Do not rotate far enough for the liner
to touch the mantle.
15. The bowl clamp pressure should restore itself automatically.
16. Check for leaks at the bowl clamp and/or the bowl clamp supply hose.
17. Do not press any other pushbuttons. The hydraulic motor should shut off approximately 2 minutes after
the last function has been satisfied.
18. The bowl position indicator may be zeroed with the crusher running or stopped. If you elect to zero the
bowl position indicator with the crusher stopped, now is the time to do it.

CRUSHER SAFETY
Operation
Crusher Safety
WARNING: Do not allow personnel to be on or near the crusher during operation. The
crusher will shake violently should tramp iron be fed into the machine. Stay clear of feed
and discharge areas to prevent being injured or killed by fling or falling rock.
WARNING: Never attempt to clear jammed material from the crushing chamber while
the crusher is operating. Serious injury or death could result if you are pulled into, or fall
inside, the crushing chamber.
WARNING: Never attempt to manually clear jammed material from the crushing
chamber while the upper frame is in the lowered (clamping) position. Any material
lodged in the chamber could release without warning, and may be propelled upward
through the feed opening. Serious injury or death could result.
• Verify that all personnel are clear of the crusher prior to starting. This includes verifying that no
personnel are under the crusher.
• Perform a complete inspection before starting the crusher. Be sure that the crushing chamber is clear.
Make sure the cone blocking is removed.
• Be sure that all guards and other safety devices are correctly installed and tightly secured before
starting the crusher. Stay clear of rotating or moving parts during crusher operation.
• Rock projected upwards through the feed opening can injure or kill. Do not look directly into the feed
opening while the crusher is operating. Use mirrors or closed-circuit cameras if close observation of the
feed arrangement is necessary for troubleshooting or evaluation purposes.
• Do not tamper with crusher alarm components. Never attempt to defeat electrical interlocks or to disable
crusher protective devices.
101
OPERATION
CRUSHER SAFETY
• Never place hands on cylinder rods. Stay clear of pinch-point area between the upper and main frames.
• Never stand on hydraulic hoses or use them as steps. If hoses rupture, serious injury or death could
result. As required, use a safety harness during servicing.
• Always lockout/tagout power to the crusher drive motor, crusher oil lubrication system and crusher
hydraulic system before performing any inspection, adjustment, lubrication, maintenance or repair
procedures. Also lockout power to all crusher feed and discharge equipment. Be sure pressure is fully
relieved before servicing the hydraulic system.
• If the crusher is powered by a diesel engine, always disconnect batteries and shut-off fuel supply before
performing any inspection, adjustment, lubrication, maintenance or repair procedures. Lockout/tagout
engine controls to prevent the engine from being accidentally started while the crusher is being
serviced.
• Support the crusher upper frame with hardwood blocking or steel safety spacers and shut off and
lockout and depressurize the hydraulic system before entering the crushing chamber for service work.
Never rely on hydraulic pressure to keep the upper frame raised. You could be crushed and killed if the
upper frame lowers unexpectedly.
• Always stop the crusher immediately if any gauges show abnormal readings, or if there is a sudden
obvious change in operation. Be alert for noises that might indicate trouble.
• Inspect, lubricate, maintain and repair the crusher in accordance with the instructions contained in this
manual and any additional manuals or documentation provided with the crusher.
• Inspect all warning signs and caution decals. If they become torn or not readable contact your local
dealer or JCI for replacement.
• On portable plants be sure that the trailer is properly blocked and level. All blocking must be suitable to
support the trailer dead load weight plus the crusher impact live loading.
• Avoid stopping the crusher with material inside the crushing chamber. In the event that the crushing
chamber is full of rock use the hydraulic clearing feature. Always inspect the crushing chamber and
V-seat after a clear for loose or jammed rock.

103
OPERATION
THE KODIAK CRUSHER CONTROL SYSTEM (MILO)
Abbreviations/Definitions
CSS: Closed Side Setting. The smallest distance between the bowl liner and cone mantle. The CSS is
approximately similar to the largest desired particle size.
HMI: Human Machine Interface. Computer controls that include a screen to display images and/or text and a
method for user input to the computer. The standard MILO HMI uses pushbuttons integral to the HMI for user
input (not a touch screen).
HPU: Hydraulic Power Unit. The main assembly of the control system which contains the hydraulic pump,
reservoir, control valves, etc.
INTERLOCK: A control function that occurs automatically due to a change in some operating parameter. Ex:
automated shutdown due to inadequate lube flow results because the crusher motor control is interlocked
with the flow transducer.
LED: Light Emitting Diode. These devices have taken the place of incandescent bulbs in most electronic
applications. LEDs are found in numerous sensors, relays, fuse blocks, etc., in the Kodiak Crusher Control.
MCC: Motor Control Center. Those components used for power distribution to electric motors and related
equipment. The MCC is typically provided by the customer.
NV1 & NV2: Two (2) manually operated needle valves on the hydraulic manifold. These valves are
opened/closed during many maintenance operations to pressurize/depressurize the TIR and BOWL CLAMP
circuits. See also: “Hydraulic Manifold” in the parts book and operations manual.
PENDANT: Enclosure housing the HMI and Master PLC.
PLC: Programmable Logic Controller. The computer(s) that monitor input sensors, user commands, etc., and
control actuating components. The MILO control uses a Master PLC (in the HMI enclosure) containing the
main control logic and a Slave PLC (on the HPU) to handle input and output signals.
SO CORD: Electrical cables containing multiple conductors within a common insulating jacket.
S1, S2….Sn: Solenoid designator symbols. Each solenoid refers to the actuating solenoid for a specific direc-
tional valve. The solenoid number is sometimes used interchangeably with its particular function. (Ex: S1 may
be used to indicate the TIR control valve).
TIR: Tramp Iron Relief. Refers to the hydraulic components and functions that allow the crusher to protect
itself from mechanical overloads such as uncrushable objects within the crushing chamber. The terminology
for this function may be different in languages other than English. The abbreviation TIR is used throughout
this manual to describe this general category of functions and components.
CLEAR: Raising the upper assembly hydraulically to release rocks from a plugged crushing chamber.

HMI Navigation
The HMI has an LCD screen, manual pushbuttons, and indicator lamps for selected functions. The standard
MILO HMI display is not a “touch” screen. It has pressure-sensitive menu pushbuttons incorporated along the
left-hand side of the display. This arrangement provides a rugged digital control interface that is durable
enough to withstand harsh ambient environments and exposure to the elements. The enclosure has a heater
to enhance display brightness in cold weather. The pushbuttons and indicator lamps provide a familiar inter-
face that is visible even if the crusher operator is some distance from the controls.
The labels for the pushbuttons are in both English and Spanish.

Indicator Lights
The indicator lights provide visual feedback regarding the general condition of:
• Lube Flow
• TIR Pressure
• Bowl Clamp Pressure
• Crusher On/Off Status
A solid light indicates the attribute is within normal operating range.
A slow, steady off/on blinking indicates the pressure has reached the low end of its normal operating range.
Generally whenever this slow, steady blinking is observed, the control system is automatically taking steps
to bring the pressure back to the top of its range. Digital display of these pressure values are available on the
HMI as well.
A quick flash followed by a prolonged pause indicates that a malfunction has occurred. Depending on the
particular malfunction a controlled shut down may follow shortly. When a quick flash signal is observed, you
should assume a problem has occurred that requires correction. Refer to the HMI screen for error messages.

OPERATION
BOWL ROTATION AND CSS ADJUSTMENT
2 Crushing Zone
The bottom of the crushing zone is labeled “MIN” and indicates the point at which the bowl drive ring bottoms
out and no further movement is possible. It is seldom possible to ever rotate all the way down to the “MIN”
level without bringing the bowl liner into contact with the cone mantle unless the wear liners are very thin.
When the liners are new it will never be possible to rotate all the way down to the minimum level. When a
particular chamber is worn out and in need of replacement, it is useful to note where the drive ring is within
the crushing zone. Under similar crushing conditions, the next set of liners can be expected to wear out at or
near the same point. During the life of the next set of liners, it is a good idea to step up daily inspection of the
liners as the drive ring approaches this point, and be on alert for any indication that the liner and/or mantle
are loose, cracked, or otherwise in need of replacement.
The top of the crushing zone is labeled “STOP.” The bowl drive ring should never go above this point unless
the bowl is being removed.
111
OPERATION
BOWL ROTATION AND CSS ADJUSTMENT
Reset as often as necessary to result in a CSS display that is accurate enough for the needs of a specific
application. How often this needs to be done is site-specific and depends on how quickly the liners wear at a
particular site and how critical it is to hold a particular product specification.
The Kodiak Crusher Control will calculate how much wear material has been worn off of the liner and mantle
since the last time the wear calculator was reset and will also keep track of the hours since the last liner
change.
Crusher maintenance personnel can use this information to predict when the next liner change is due and
plan accordingly for minimal disruption. The liner wear displayed on the screen represents the amount of
material worn off both parts. (Ex: if the display says .250" then .125" has been worn off the liner and .125"
has been worn off the mantle).
There are three (3) basic methods to reset the CSS bowl position counter.
112
OPERATION
BOWL ROTATION AND CSS ADJUSTMENT
Bowl Position Counter Reset Procedure with the Crusher Turned Off
This method requires two people. The problem with this method is that rocks in the feed hopper can occa-
sionally roll down into the chamber before the liner contacts the mantle. If that is a problem, consider the
method of resetting with the crusher running.
1. One person looks down into the crushing chamber from a vantage point that presents a clear view of
the cone.
2. The other person presses BOWL DOWN until the bowl contacts the cone.
3. Once the bowl contacts the cone, the cone will move counterclockwise. The observer alerts the operator
to release the BOWL DOWN pushbutton.
NOTICE: It is essential to stop bowl rotation as soon as the bowl contacts the cone in order to avoid damage to the
cone brake components.
113
OPERATION
BOWL ROTATION AND CSS ADJUSTMENT
5. Press YES to reset the bowl counter to zero. Press NO to return to the previous screen without making
changes.
This method can be done by one person if the controls are located within a few feet of the crusher. If the
controls are remotely located, it will take two people.
NOTE: To reset the bowl position counter with the crusher running, the chamber should be empty.
1. Press BOWL DOWN until the bowl contacts the cone, then release. When the bowl contacts the cone
a very distinct clunking noise will be heard.
NOTICE: It is essential to stop bowl rotation as soon as the bowl contacts the cone in order to avoid damage to the
cone brake components.
NOTE: This incidental contact will not damage the crusher but resetting the crusher in this manner should be
executed in a timely fashion. If the BOWL DOWN pushbutton is held down after initial contact is made, the
clunking sound will develop into a much louder steady state noise and the cone will begin to rotate clockwise
as if it were actually crushing.

Bowl Position Counter Reset Procedure Using the Bowl Auto Zero Function
When the JCI Kodiak Crusher Control is used in conjunction with the hydraulic cone brake it is possible to
utilize the built in Bowl Auto Zero function to reset the bowl position counter automatically.
It is best if someone acts as observer when using this method.
1. Verify that the crusher motor(s) are off and that the crusher has come to a complete stop before using
the Bowl Auto Zero feature. The Bowl Auto Zero function will ignore attempts to enable if the crusher is
running.
2. Access the Auto Zero function through the Maintenance Mode screen. Scroll down to Bowl Auto Zero
and press Select.
NOTICE: If there is a problem detected, the Bowl Auto Zero function will not enable. An error message will alert you
to the issue. You will have to manually reset the bowl counter and fix the issues before attempting Bowl Auto Zero

rotate counterclockwise and cause pressure to build in the hydraulic cone brake. When the control system
detects an increase in pressure, it will stop rotating, reset the counter to zero, and rotate back up to the previ-
ously recorded CSS.
Possible errors you may encounter:
• While rotating down, if there is no decrement in the bowl position counter:

• While rotating up, if there is a problem with the bowl limit proximity sensor:
NOTE: You can cancel Bowl Auto Zero at any time by pressing Cancel/Return. When the Bowl Auto Zero func-
tion is canceled by the operator, the initial value of the CSS is still recorded. As part of the cancellation
process, the bowl will rotate back up to this initial recorded CSS. However, be aware that the resulting CSS
value will be uncalibrated. To re-zero the bowl, use the manual CSS reset, or engage once again the Bowl
Auto Zero function.

OPERATION
CRUSHER PRE-START CHECKS AND PROCEDURES
1. Pull up on the ESTOP(s) to warm the oil prior to starting, especially in cold weather.
NOTE: The heaters will automatically keep the reservoir between 80°F (26.7°C) and 100°F (37.8°C) any time
the ESTOP contacts are closed. Energizing the system upon arrival at the job site will ensure the control
system will have the lube oil warmed up and all hydraulic pressures at the correct levels by the time the other
pre-start activities are complete.
2. Lockout/tagout the crusher drive motors and any feed/discharge conveyors. Follow all local
lockout/tagout regulations.
3. Inspect under the crusher.
Items to check under the crusher include:
• Verify that the discharge area is free of debris from the CSS to the discharge conveyor. Pay particular
attention to unusual buildup on the pinion tunnel and/or struts.
• Check for any unusual wear on the top of the wedgeplate guard or exposed portions of the cone seal.
Normally there should be no appreciable wear in this area. If wear begins to appear, a root cause anal-
ysis should be implemented right away to avoid costly, preventable damage.
• Assess the condition of the baseframe tub liners. These are wear items that will erode over time. Daily
inspections will avoid tub liner failures and subsequent baseframe damage.
• Check the condition of the lube supply hose. If it shows signs of abrasion or other deterioration, plan for
a replacement.
• Check the condition of the liners. A daily inspection of the exposed portion of the parallel zone will
expose not only the general condition indicated by the thickness but also the development of hooks in
the liner or mantle, which can give clues to application problems and also to the presence of missing
chunks caused by uncrushable objects passing through the chamber.
• Check cone brake function by rotating the cone by hand. It should turn right to left but not left to right.
• Check the condition of bowl liner fit. Look for indications that the liner is loose or cracked or evidence of
water leaking between the liner and bowl, which indicates that a loose liner may be imminent.
4. Check the lube oil level in the reservoir sight glass. Top it off if required but do not overfill. The oil should
only be checked after the crusher has sat unused for an appreciable period of time (overnight is ideal).
Any time the lube pump has run, it take a considerable period for the oil to return to its original level.
5. Verify that the breather is not obstructed and is free of accumulated debris.
121
OPERATION
CRUSHER PRE-START CHECKS AND PROCEDURES
6. Check crusher drive sheave and motor sheave for any accumulated dirt. If dirt accumulates in either
sheave, it will cause vibration that is often mistaken for crusher imbalance.
7. Verify hydraulic oil level is near the full mark on the sight glass. It does not have to absolutely full.
8. If the ESTOP was pulled prior to the inspection, the TIR and bowl clamp pressures should be up to their
prescribed pressure.
9. Give the crusher an overall review looking for any changes since the day before, such as:
• Missing TIR cylinder rod coupler keeper rings
• Oil leaks at TIR cylinders, bowl clamp, bowl rotation motor, etc.
• Damaged TIR cylinders
• Accumulation of black powder under the rotation stops indicating that bowl float has occurred
10. Verify that the crushing chamber is empty. Starting with anything (including rocks) in the chamber can
potentially cause cone brake problems.
11. Verify that the bottom of the bowl drive ring is in the “Crushing Zone” defined by the decals on the gear
supports.
12. If it is your practice to zero the bowl position indicator with the crusher stopped, do so now. Refer to the
bowl rotation section if required.
13. Press the ACKW button to clear the message area of any errors or warnings. The crusher will not start
until the message area is clear. If any errors appear, the problem must be corrected prior to starting.

1. The crusher drive motors as well as the feed and discharge conveyors that were previously locked out
can now be energized.
2. Verify one more time that all personnel are out from under, on, or around the crusher or its
feed/discharge conveyors.
3. Start the discharge conveyor and any other parts of the plant as required, but do not start the feed
conveyor(s) yet.
4. When the message area is clear, press and hold CRUSHER START for two (2) seconds. The light on
the pushbutton will come on when the Crusher Start Sequence has begun and the pushbutton can be
released.

CRUSHER STARTUP PROCEDURE
1 CRUSHER START
NOTE: If you are pressing CLEAR, the CRUSHER START button will not engage and the Crusher Start
Sequence is disabled.
5. The lube pump will start and a horn will sound for 30 seconds announcing that the crusher startup is
imminent.
• If there is inadequate lube flow, the Crusher Start Sequence will terminate after 25 seconds (just prior
to actual crusher start). A “Shutdown - Low Lube Flow” message will then be displayed, requiring an
ACKW/RESET to clear.
• If there is inadequate TIR pressure prior to crusher start, the start button is deactivated. A “Warning -
Low TIR Pressure” message will be displayed. This message is non-latching and will automatically clear
from the screen once adequate TIR pressure has resumed.
• If there is inadequate TIR pressure subsequent to crusher start, the start sequence will proceed. A
non-latching “Warning - Low TIR Pressure” message will be displayed. If adequate TIR pressure has
not resumed, the crusher will start after the normal 30 second countdown, but will only run for 10
seconds before shutting down. After the crusher shutdown, a latching “Shutdown - Low TIR Pressure”
message will be displayed, requiring an ACKW/RESET to clear.
6. When the crusher has run successfully for 45 seconds, the feed conveyor “enable” output will be ener-
gized. Feed enable indicates that it is safe to start feed equipment. At this time evaluate the general
condition of the crusher.
• Are there any new sounds?
• Are there any new smells?
• Does the structure shake more than usual?
7. If it is your practice to zero the bowl position indicator with the crusher running, do so now. Refer to the
bowl rotation section if required.
8. When satisfied that all is right with the crusher, start the feed material.
9. It sometimes takes a little while for the circuit to stabilize. During that time it may be necessary to make
temporary CSS adjustments until the circuit reaches a steady state condition. This is site-specific.
During this transient period, be extra vigilant for bowl float and the level of rock in the hopper.

BOWL FLOAT
Bowl Float
Bowl float occurs when material in the crushing chamber is able to overcome the Tramp Iron Relief (TIR) hold
down force and the upper assembly lifts off the baseframe repeatedly. Bowl float indicates that the crusher is
overloaded. It is extremely damaging and causes deterioration of the surfaces at the joint between the upper
assembly and the baseframe, as well as a variety of other types of damage. You and any personnel working
in the vicinity of the Kodiak+ crusher must always be on alert for bowl float. Conditions that could cause bowl
float should be anticipated and avoided. Any time bowl float occurs, immediate correct action is required. The
reference lists a number of conditions that can cause bowl float as well as corrective remedies. If bowl float
occurs, do not let it continue. Doing so will void the warranty.
NOTICE: Whenever bowl float occurs, regardless of the underlying cause or crushing conditions, the CSS is too
small, by definition. The minimum CSS for any chamber configuration or crushing condition is the closest setting that
can be maintained without causing bowl float. If bowl float is encountered, stop crushing immediately until the CSS is
opened up and/or the underlying condition corrected. It may be necessary to choose a different chamber
configuration or speed in order to run the crusher at the desired CSS.
Monitoring for bowl float is a continuous process and you should pay especially close attention any time the
liners have been changed, whenever the close side setting (CSS) has been changed, when the feed material
has been changed, or if the feed rate has changed. Bowl float prevention is a process of knowing your feed
material, the desired reduction ratio, maintaining the proper CSS, continuous monitoring, and maintaining a
choke feed.

OPERATION
BOWL FLOAT
How it Works
The MILO bowl float detection system is a reporting/recording device only. It is not interlocked with the
crusher control. It will not turn the crusher off or interfere with crushing operation. It is a tool for the user to
detect the level of crusher overload so that they may take appropriate measures to prevent damage.
The MILO control increments two resettable counters (WARNING and DANGER) each time an overload
corresponding to those levels is detected. The upper assembly movement is detected using vibration sensors
mounted on the underside of the bowl support flange.
Whenever the device detects movement large enough to trigger a WARNING or DANGER event, a timer is
started. The timer will continue to count until the sensor output drops below the threshold. The time of the
event is shown on the Bowl Float Detection screen along with the event counters. When the bowl float detec-
tion system is enabled, a warning message will be displayed on the MAIN screen whenever a WARNING or
DANGER event is detected.
Sensitivity
The MILO control has two configurable levels of sensitivity: WARNING and DANGER. The two levels coincide
with sensor output level somewhere between 0 and 1000 of the maximum sensor output. Setting the sensi-
tivity at 0 would result in MILO reporting a continuous state of bowl float. Setting the level at 1000 would
require an uncrushable object of considerable size to cause MILO to report any problem at all. The degree of
sensitivity is adjusted by a slider control that divides the range into 1,000 segments.
The sensitivity can be adjusted at any time.
The recommended procedure is to set the WARNING level of sensitivity to detect very low amplitude move-
ment. Make it as sensitive as possible without triggering an unreasonable number of false positives. Set the
DANGER level of sensitivity to pick up larger amplitude movements that are larger than the occasional tran-
sient bump and represent serious overload events.
Optional Equipment
A CF memory card is installed in the HMI display to log time stamped data each time an event occurs. The
time, level of severity and length of the event will be recorded. The counters on the Bowl Float Detection
screen can be reset by the user at any time. The data on the chip, however, cannot be reset from within the
MILO program. This provides maintenance personnel with a means for determining what times tend to coin-
cide with overload activity. The media must be removed and processed on another computer for evaluation
of data. The data is stored in a .csv file which can be imported into an Excel spreadsheet.
The MILO crusher control is designed so that an external plant-wide control system can control the Kodiak +
crusher remotely. This is accomplished by connecting to the MILO control enclosure via a receptacle provided
for this purpose. One of the pins in that receptacle can be configured to send a signal each time a DANGER
or WARNING event occurs. Plant-wide control systems that use this remote control capability can elect to
take corrective action in response to bowl float conditions from a remote location. Additionally, direct access
to the sensor 4-20mA output is available via modbus. Contact JCI for information on these options.

OPERATION
BOWL FLOAT
This procedure allows the system to be adjusted while simulating bowl float under controlled, no load condi-
tions without affecting crushing in progress or risking an automated shutdown.
NOTE: The MILO control will not allow the DANGER threshold to be lower than the WARNING threshold.
The final settings will be made with the crusher running and upper assembly actively floating. This can be
unnerving so it is best to be familiar with the adjustment process before actively floating the machine.
NOTE: All bowl float is, by definition, an overload condition. The steps that follow only allow the user to detect
a configurable degree of overload. During this step no rock will be allowed to enter the chamber. Verifying the
setting by inducing bowl float while actually crushing will be discussed later.
1. It will be necessary to have the TIR system depressurized during this operation, so prior to startup, open
NV1 and NV2 to depressurize the hydraulic manifold.
2. Disconnect hoses C1 and C2.
3. Close NV1and NV2.
NOTE: The TIR system on the crusher is now disabled. Do not introduce rock into the crusher until the TIR
system is re-enabled after all adjustments have been made.
4. With the crusher running but the TIR system disabled, and the MILO control BOWL FLOAT DETEC-
TION screen active and enabled, SCROLL down to THRESHOLD ADJUST - WARNING.
134
OPERATION
BOWL FLOAT
NOTICE: Someone must be in the immediate vicinity of the crusher to verify when the desired WARNING threshold
has been reached. Watching a rotation stop for movement is an adequate method for visually detecting bowl float.
5. Set the WARNING threshold. Press INCR or DECR to adjust the sensitivity.
NOTE: Each individual press adjusts the sensitivity by one. Press and hold to move the slider in larger incre-
ments.
Set the WARNING threshold to detect any persistent movement, but not so sensitive that vibration of the
entire plant results in warning when no bowl float is present.
NOTE: For a new system startup, a reasonable place to start would be WARNING = 200 and DANGER = 300.
6. Rotate the bowl down until contact between the cone and liner is heard but no bowl float is observed.
7. Check all the rotation stops. Movement may be occurring on the other side of the machine.
8. Raise the bowl up/down a few times until the mantle is hitting the liner but there is no movement or until
the movement is as small as you can get it.
NOTE: If the screen is registering a warning event but no bowl float is observed, then the threshold is set too
low. Adjust it up.
9. If the screen is not registering a warning event, continue to rotate down until the upper assembly just
begins to move.
10. Increase the WARNING threshold until the MILO bowl float detection registers a warning event reliably
whenever the upper assembly just begins to move. Rotate up/down a couple of times to verify you have
the right spot. Err on the side of making it a little too sensitive but make sure that whenever an event is
registered, some movement also occurs.
11. Rotate the bowl back up until no noise is heard.
12. SCROLL up to THRESHOLD ADJUST - DANGER.
135
OPERATION
BOWL FLOAT
keep their hands free of the crusher and move away from the immediate vicinity, yet close enough to see
upper assembly movement clearly.
NOTE: The DANGER threshold should be set higher than the WARNING threshold. Start at 100 units higher.
The DANGER level should correspond to movement that is considered unacceptable. Discrete movements
of this magnitude may occur if an uncrushable object enters the chamber, but the crusher should never
sustain this level of movement in normal operation.
14. Rotate the bowl down until a DANGER event is registered, or until the movement is large enough to
correspond to the severity you hope to detect, whichever comes first, and then immediately rotate up
until no contact noise is heard.
15. Prior to shutdown, reset the WARNING and DANGER counters, if desired.
16. Shut down crusher.
17. Open NV1and NV2.
18. Reconnect hoses C1 and C2.
19. Close NV1and NV2.

Depressurize Crusher Hydraulic System Procedure
The WARNING / DANGER thresholds can be checked and/or adjusted while the crusher is under load by
simply opening NV1 far enough that the hydraulic system cannot keep up with the leak, but do not allow the
TIR pressure to drop below 1500 psi (103.4 bar).
If the pressure drops below 1500 psi (103.4 bar) for more than 5 seconds, an automated shut down sequence
will start. Bringing the pressure up above 1500 psi (103.4 bar) any time during that sequence will cancel the
shut down and resume normal crushing.
1. Open NV1.
2. Continue to unscrew until the pressure can be held at any desired pressure > 1500 psi (103.4 bar).
3. Adjust the threshold up or down until the desired level of sensitivity is achieved.
4. Lower the pressure until movement consistent with a WARNING condition occurs.
5. Continue opening NV1 until movement consistent with a DANGER condition occurs or the pressure
approaches 1500psi (103.4 bar), whichever comes first. If movement cannot be induced, rotate down a
little and try again.
6. Adjust the threshold up or down until the desired level of sensitivity is achieved.

LUBE CIRCULATION
Lube Circulation
Use of thinner oils in cold climates is discouraged. Rather than using thinner oil, JCI recommends heating the
oil prior to startup. The lubrication assembly is equipped with two (2) 1500W heaters and the reservoir is rela-
tively small, so the oil can be heated quickly even in cold weather.
The use of this feature is for after-hours lube oil circulation with an extra option for extra lube oil filtration.
NOTICE: Starting with very cold oil results in significantly abnormal lube oil pressure and can cause oil filter damage,
oil filter element bypass, or both.
The Kodiak Crusher Control provides four (4) possible after hours oil filtration options. The first two (2) are
standard features. The second two (2) require that the optional kidney loop components are installed. All
require that the crusher be turned off but that the MILO control be turned on.
When either in Heaters and Lube Circ (3 phase), or Heaters and Lube Circ (1 phase), the lube circulation
activity is as follows. The lube pump will turn on and run for 10 minutes. At the end of 10 minutes, the tempera-
ture of the reservoir return oil is measured. The lube pump off time is calculated based on this return tempera-
ture. If the return lube oil temperature is less than 32°F, (0°C), then the lube pump off time will be three (3)
minutes. If the return lube oil temperature is more than 60°F, (16°C), then the lube pump off time will be 60
minutes. Pump off time will be proportional to temperature within these two (2) limits. While in Lube Circulation
mode, this on/off cycle will repeat.
All outputs will be disabled, so no motors (except lube pump) or solenoid valves will be energized. The push-
buttons will be disabled. Sensors will still be on-line. If the oil level should drop too low, the heaters will turn
off. In the event of a lube flow failure, the motor will be turned off. At the beginning of each new cycle, the
pump will restart. If there is still no flow, it will turn off again, etc.
Heaters Only
This standard option keeps the reservoir heaters on overnight. To utilize this function, 1ph power is required
at night. If the oil level drops too low, the heaters will be disabled.

CRUSHER CLEAR FUNCTION
The horn will sound whenever the CLEAR function is active and will continue to sound until the upper
assembly is back in its original position and TIR pressure is restored. This is intended as an all-clear warning
to discourage anyone from approaching the crusher.
This feature is provided for allowing feed material to be evacuated from the crushing chamber only. It is NOT
a maintenance and/or inspection aid. If maintenance access is required, the upper assembly should be
removed or blocked in the raised position with they hydraulic system turned off. If the upper assembly is
blocked with they hydraulic system operating, the full combined force of all the TIR cylinders will be exerted
on the upper assembly.
143
OPERATION
AUTOMATIC INTERLOCKED CRUSHER SHUTDOWN
WARNING: Never reach into the gap or insert tools into the gap between the upper
assembly and baseframe when the upper assembly is elevated.
When the pushbutton is released the TIR cylinders will automatically retract and the upper assembly will lower
as the hydraulic system restores pressure.
The CLEAR button is seldom required unless the chamber becomes plugged and stops the crusher under
load. JCI strongly recommends a visual inspection of the crusher prior to restarting. In particular, verify that
both the crushing chamber and the discharge area are free of rock and debris. Verify that the upper assembly
is sitting firmly on the lower assembly and all TIR cylinders are fully retracted and attachments are secure. It
is acceptable for the upper assembly to sit slightly out of level and/or the rotation stops may not make full
contact. These should self-correct once crushing resumes.
Once the crusher is restarted, be aware of any new sounds, smells or vibrations. Verify that the cone head is
not spinning.
144
OPERATION
AUTOMATIC INTERLOCKED CRUSHER SHUTDOWN
If the lube flow falls critically low the crusher will shut down. As the lube flow approaches this critical level the
light will blink and a warning will be displayed on the HMI. If the flow rate drops below the critical level, a shut
down sequence will begin.
The interlock and warning flow rates are listed in reference section.
When the lube oil flow rate drops below the acceptable range:
1) The control system will monitor the flow for 6 seconds and see if the problem is transient.
2) If the flow is still low after 6 seconds the horn will sound and the lube flow light will flash.
3) The HMI will display instructions to stop the feed conveyor within 5 seconds.
4) At the end of 5 seconds the feed conveyor enable relay contact will open.
5) The HMI will display an error message that crusher shut down will begin in 10 seconds.
6) The time remaining until shutdown will be displayed on the HMI.
You may press Crusher STOP or ESTOP at any time to stop sooner.

If after five (5) seconds the low pressure (<1500 psi [103.4 bar]) condition cannot be corrected:
1) The horn will sound and indicator lamp will flash.
2) The HMI will display instructions to stop the feed conveyor in five (5) seconds.
3) At the end of five (5) seconds the feed conveyor enable relay contact will open.
4) The HMI will display an error message that crusher shut down will begin in Ten (10) seconds.
5) The time remaining until shutdown will be displayed on the HMI.
You may press Crusher STOP at any time to stop sooner.
After an interlocked shutdown, the HMI will display an error reminder explaining the cause of the shutdown.
The next time a CRUSHER START is attempted, it will be necessary to press ACKW to acknowledge the
error before it will be possible to start the crusher. Pressing ACKW implies that the appropriate repairs and/or
corrections have been made.
Communication Fault
The Kodiak Crusher Control constantly monitors communications between the MASTER and SLAVE PLCs.
Communication failure may be catastrophic and permanent or transient. Catastrophic failures, such as a
severed communication cable, are typically easily traced. Transient problems, such as interference caused
by radio signals or other electrical noise, may be difficult to detect and/or correct. The control system will shut
down the crusher if a serious fault is detected but will alert you if significant transient problems are detected
and allow personnel to investigate/correct the problem without shutting the crusher down unexpectedly.
If a communication fault is detected the Kodiak Crusher Control will respond by:
1) Monitoring for two (2) seconds to see if the interference goes away on its own.
2) If the interference persists beyond two (2) seconds, it will sound the horn and display a warning
message “Communication Failure Detected.” The horn will sound only while the communication fault
exists. The error message will remain on the screen until the ACKW/RESET button is pressed. The
ACKW/RESET button can be pressed while the crusher is running.
3) If the communication fault persists for more than 10 seconds, the crusher will shut down. The message
will change to “Shutdown - Communication Failure.” The feed enable relay output will open at the same
time.
Depending on the nature of the communication failure, normal shutdown using the STOP pushbutton may
not be possible, but ESTOP will still work. You can initiate the crusher shutdown at any time.
If the horn sounds and a communication fault has been detected, you should attempt a controlled shutdown
of equipment feeding the crusher in anticipation of an automated crusher shutdown.
If the cable is severed or disconnected, there is power loss and a communication loss. This has the same
effect as pressing ESTOP and the crusher will stop without warning.

Maintenance and Repair Safety
General Precautions
• To help ensure safe machine operation, use only genuine Original equipment manufacturer (OEM)
replacement parts that are sold or approved by the machine’s manufacturer. Use of non-OEM parts may
adversely affect machine operation and could result in an a hazardous situation.
• Always tighten all fasteners to the proper torque as described in the repair procedures. When torque
specifications are not listed, use the values in the torque table at the back of this manual.
• Be sure all replacement fasteners are of the proper grade and specifications. Replace any worn or
damaged fasteners.
Electrical Systems
• Always read, understand and follow appropriate electrical system troubleshooting, maintenance and
repair instructions in the machinery manufacturers’ manuals.
• Allow only trained and licensed electricians to install, troubleshoot and repair electrical equipment. All
procedures must be in compliance with the National Electric Code and any applicable state or local
regulations.
• When servicing an electrical system, work with the power locked out and tagged. Always assume that
an electrical system is live until it has been locked out.
• Always tag and lockout power before removing cables with quick-disconnect plugs.
• Repair any obviously worn or damaged wires and connectors.
• Inspect power cables and connections daily for signs of wear, cracked insulation and worn or damaged
connectors. Repair or replace as required.
• Do not store tools inside electrical cabinets.
• Verify that all tools are grounded with a three wire plug or double insulated. Be sure that all extension
cords are grounded with a three wire plug.
153
MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR SAFETY
Pressurized Systems
• Adjust, maintain and repair all pressurized systems only in accordance with the instructions contained
in the manufacturer’s manuals provided with the machinery.
• Never attempt to work on a pressurized system while it is pressurized or in operation.
• Before performing maintenance or repairs on any pressurized system:—Cycle the controls through all
operating positions to relieve any trapped pressure.—Check that ALL pressure is relieved from the
system. The pressure gauge must read zero (0) PSI.—Lockout and tagout all controls. Be sure electrical
power is properly locked out and tagged.
• Allow time for hot hydraulic oil to cool before performing any maintenance or repairs. Hot oil can cause
burns.
• Before loosening fittings or removing components, always recheck that ALL pressure is relieved from
the system. The pressure gauge must read zero (0) PSI.
• Never attempt to loosen a hydraulic fitting while a hydraulic system is pressurized. You could be injured
or killed by a stream of high pressure oil.
• Never have your face near, or stand directly in front of a hydraulic line when cracking a fitting, even after
system pressure has been relieved. Always assume that the line has pressure.
• Use a piece of cardboard to check for hydraulic oil leaks, not your hand. Escaping fluid under pressure
can penetrate the skin, resulting in serious personal injury.
• Clean-up any spilled hydraulic fluid. Hydraulic fluid is extremely slippery, and can be especially
dangerous if spilled on an elevated walkway or platform.
• Repair any leaks immediately. Always relieve system pressure and lockout/tagout power before tight-
ening fittings or making repairs.
• Never attempt to adjust pressure relief valves to above the machinery manufacturer’s recommended
settings. Serious personal injury and/or equipment damage could result. Do not operate any hydraulic
or air system with obviously worn or damaged, or leaking components. Always replace any defective
components immediately.
• Never place hands on hydraulic cylinder rods while equipment is in operation. Do not step on the
hydraulic relief cylinder hoses when climbing on the crusher.
• Refer to manufacturer’s instructions when recharging hydraulic accumulators or checking accumulator
pressure. Allow only trained hydraulic system technicians to depressurize, recharge or repair hydraulic
accumulators.
Welding On Machinery
• Be sure to provide adequate ventilation when welding inside enclosed areas to prevent the buildup of
hazardous fumes. Special concern should be exercised when welding chromium, manganese,
cadmium, copper, cobalt, lead and nickel, as these materials are considered to be potentially carcino-
genic.
• Be sure to wear the proper welding shield, welding gloves and clothing. Do not wear synthetic fabric
clothing or clothing which could be easily ignited by sparks.
• Always follow all standard safety procedures when welding. Be sure that all systems are shut down,
power is locked out, and controls are tagged. Provide welding screens to protect other employees
working in the area.

MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR SAFETY
• Relieve all hydraulic pressure before welding near hydraulic components and lines. Cover hydraulic
components to protect them from weld spatter and sparks.
• Do not weld near flammable liquids or hydraulic oils.
• Welding lifting eyes or hooks to manganese steel castings is strongly discouraged, and should be done
only if absolutely necessary. Always use a stainless steel or manganese weld rod. Never allow
personnel to walk or work underneath castings being lifted or supported.
• Never ground the welder so that the electrical power will flow through bearings, hydraulic components
or electrical equipment. Serious damage could result.
• Be sure all compressed gas cylinders are stored upright, chained and capped. Turn-off all cylinders
when not in use.
WARNING: Never stick any part of a person’s body into the crushing chamber when
the upper assembly is raised.

WELDING CONSIDERATIONS
Welding Considerations
Whenever welding on or around heavy machinery, care must be taken to place the welding ground clamp as
close to the weld as possible. Special care is required to avoid placing bearings, hydraulic cylinders and/or
electronic components between the weld and the ground clamp. Attach the ground clamp to clean dry base
metal only. Whenever possible, the base metal should be freshly ground and the ground clamp should have
clean, dry contact surfaces, free of debris, corrosion, etc., firmly connected to the workpiece.
The minimum precaution for protecting electronic equipment on MILO equipped Kodiak+ crushers begins
with de-energizing the HPU power supply at the source. Follow all local lockout/tagout regulations.
Secondly, any potential current pathways between sensors and other external electronic components and the
HPU should be interrupted by disconnecting all of the cables and harnesses that connect to the bottom of the
electrical enclosure on the HPU. There are several cables and harnesses that have threaded or locking
connectors. All are located on the bottom of the electrical enclosure. Disconnect the cable that connects the
HPU to the remote control. This may be on the bottom or on the side of the electrical enclosure. These should
all be disconnected. These connections are all 24VDC connections and do NOT require opening the HPU
electrical enclosure.
Heater cables and other conductors that are connected to screw terminals inside the electrical enclosure do
NOT require disconnecting.
There are sensors mounted on the crusher that can be damaged by electrical fields commonly generated by
welding. JCI recommends that these sensors be removed when welding on the crusher or its support
structure. Most of the sensors are mounted on the upper assembly. Generally speaking there is some
welding associated with any liner change, but the upper assembly is removed during this operation so the
removal of those sensors is automatically accomplished. But there is frequently welding on or near the
crusher during installation of the crusher, and protecting these sensors could be easily overlooked. Therefore
during crusher installation be aware of these sensors and take appropriate precautions.
Follow the minimum recommended precautions whenever welding on the crusher or its support structure. If
welding near any sensors extra care is required. Removal of the sensor(s) is always 100% effective protec-
tion.

Maintenance Mode
There are a few maintenance operations that require that the Kodiak Crusher Control operate differently than
it does during normal crushing operations. In some cases, the hydraulic system needs to temporarily maintain
different hydraulic pressures for selected functions. The system allows the user to exit normal crushing mode
and enter Maintenance Mode, where several function-specific screens are available.
Each function-specific screen gives a brief step-by-step description of what is required. Generally, once the
adjustment or procedure is complete, simply reversing those steps will put the crusher and/or control system
back in an operational condition and ready to return to the main screen.
Press SCROLL to highlight the desired function. Press SELECT to enter that screen.
NOTE: A few of the functions will require the crusher to be turned off before you can access the screen. A
warning will remind you to turn the crusher off before continuing.

Guidelines:
• Replace the factory installed Mobilgear 600XP 150 oil 200 hours after initial startup. Following this initial
change, replace the oil every 500 hours, or more often if oil samples indicate.
• The life of synthetic oil such as Mobilgear SHC150 may be extended beyond the recommended 500
hours but should be monitored by oil sample analysis and should not exceed 1,000 hours.
• Higher viscosity oil and synthetic oil offer additional protection when running at elevated temperatures,
but do not offer significant protection against thermal breakdown when run at temperatures exceeding
180°F (82°C). If running at temperatures higher than this maximum cannot be avoided, then oil changes
may be needed more frequently. Monitor changes in viscosity by oil sample analysis.

You may find a different method works best at your site, but the procedure below will minimize the number of
lifting operations.
1. Press BOWL UP to unscrew the bowl until the drive ring is approximately 2-1/2” below the top of the
crushing zone. This is to make room for the new set of liners.

NOTE: The retaining ring should drop, giving access to the split ring. If the retaining ring does not move down
as the bolts are backed out, strike with a hammer, if necessary.
NOTE: The rolled locking ring should now be loose. If the bottom of the bowl liner is off the ground, be aware
that the bowl liner is only held in place by friction once the locking ring is loose.
CAUTION: Do not try to remove the locking ring with your hands. Until the locking ring
springs free, it is under considerable tension.

14. Find the split in the locking ring, insert one of the pry bars, and pry the free end of the ring until it starts
to come out from under the lip in the liner.
15. Insert the second pry bar and work the free end of the locking ring out from under the flange on the bowl
liner. Continue working around the circumference of the locking ring, alternating between the two pry
bars until the locking ring snaps off.
NOTE: Hold the locking ring with one pry bar as the other is moved to a new location along the circumference
of the locking ring. Use both pry bars to work the locking ring out of the groove and over the top of the flange.
16. Strike the top of the bowl liner with a sledgehammer until it drops out.
17. Lift and remove the bowl from the used liner.
18. Prepare the bowl and liner for installation. Clean up the liner contact seat on the bottom of the bowl by
removing any traces of mud, rust, backing material, etc.
19. If minor wear has occurred to the bowl, burnish wear lip with an air sander. If severe damage has
occurred, consult the factory. Clean up any nicks, dings, or rust that could prevent good, solid contact
between the liner and the bowl.
219
MAINTENANCE

20. Clean up and grease the inside of the bowl and inside clevis pockets, applying grease only to those
areas that will be in contact with backing material.
NOTE: Do NOT grease the bowl liner contact surface on the bottom of the bowl.
21. Sand paint from the manganese seat and the retaining lip of the new liner.

23. Check to see that the liner is roughly centered in the bowl by measuring from the OD of the liner to the
ID of the bowl in 3-4 places. The bowl can be adjusted side to side with a pry bar. The bowl need only
be roughly centered at this point. More precise alignment will be possible at a later step.
NOTICE: Precut foam rubber inserts are available that can be placed under the retainer ring to help exclude mud
and debris. Do not install bowl liners without some form of excluding material. Any backing material that flows under
the retainer ring will be difficult to remove during the next liner change. Applying grease to the underside of the insert
along the inside edge can help increase the probability that the insert can be reused. Other material like fiberglass
bat insulation will also work, but not as well.
221
MAINTENANCE
MANGANESE LINER CHANGES
24. Install the foam rubber inserts so that the cutouts are aligned with the backing material pour holes as
shown.
25. Install the retaining ring with the 1” bolt holes lined up with the holes in the foam rubber inserts.
26. Install the locking ring. Set the locking ring on top of the bowl liner. Press one end of the locking ring
over the edge of the liner and install one of the retaining ring keeper bolts to hold it in place.
222
MAINTENANCE
MANGANESE LINER CHANGES
CAUTION: Do not try to install the locking ring with your hands. Until the locking ring
springs free, it is under considerable tension.
27. Using two pry bars, work the locking ring over the flange onto the top of the liner in a manner similar to
that used to remove it.
NOTE: The ring will typically install with little difficulty using the pry bars. Avoid the temptation to help it along
with your hands. If it is difficult to install, it is probably because the bolt was not installed as described in the
previous step. Reinstall the bolt and the installation should be easier.
28. Center the retaining ring using the centering bolts. The liner must be centered evenly in the bowl.
NOTE: Liner should be centered at the bottom of the manganese seat as well as above.
223
MAINTENANCE
MANGANESE LINER CHANGES
29. Install the retaining ring keepers with bolts starting at a location next to the split in the locking ring and
working sequentially around the locking ring until all the keepers are installed.
NOTE: The locking ring keepers are beveled along the edge. They must be installed with the bevel against
the locking ring.
30. Install the retaining ring bolts (jack bolts) with lock nuts and take up the slack in the retention system
hardware. Alternate from side to side until the bowl liner is snug but not tight.
NOTE: The retaining ring/locking ring assembly should be centered around the flange on the top of the liner
with the locking ring making solid contact all around the flange. Adjust as required.
224
MAINTENANCE
MANGANESE LINER CHANGES
31. Re-check to make sure the liner is centered at both the top and bottom.
NOTE: Do not tighten the radial centering bolts at this time.They should only be finger tight so they don’t
prevent tensioning of the retainer bolts during the next step.
32. Torque the retainer bolts uniformly to 450-475 ft lbs dry [350-375 lubed]. Alternate from side to side in
a star pattern rather than going around sequentially. When all retainer bolts are torqued, tighten the
retainer ring lock nuts. If a torque wrench is not available, 450-475 ft lbs translates roughly into a strong
steady pull on a 3/4” drive ratchet or breaker bar with a 3 foot handle.
NOTE: The tightening process is easier if an extension is used. This puts the torque wrench above the top of
the bowl. As shown in the photo above, a 4x4 provides a convenient support surface for supporting the exten-
sion.

33. Install precut foam rubber dirt-excluding inserts, fiberglass insulation, or other material around the
outside of the retainer ring.
NOTE: These inserts are different from those used under the retainer ring. See parts book.
34. The final step is to pour backing material, but as the mantle and bowl both require backing material, it
is best to pour it at the same time. See the mantle liner change procedure, or skip ahead to the backing
material procedure.

NOTICE: Take care to note the correct angle and location of the cut shown in the illustration above. Failure to cut in
the correct manner can result in damage to the cone stem.
NOTE: Allow metal slag to flow into and through the cavity underneath the mantle washer and out the pour
hole.
3. Place the mantle nut wrench into the recess on top of the mantle bolt. Secure the wrench in place by
inserting the 1-1/4” x 1-1/2” bolt and tightening.
4. Unscrew the mantle bolt by striking the wrench with a sledgehammer. The bolt has left-hand threads.
5. Weld two (2) temporary lifting ears onto the old and new mantle liners 180° apart using stainless steel
or manganese welding rod.
WARNING: Failure to burn the weld into the manganese could result in the weld
breaking and causing personal injury.
6. Lift the worn mantle from the cone head and set aside.
WARNING: Stay well away from the mantle while it is being removed from the cone.
Use a lifting device rated for the weight of the mantle.
NOTICE: Be careful to not lift the cone head! If this happens, the floating plate and torque bar can disengage and
will require further disassembly to re-align.
7. Clean off any remaining backing material adhering to the cone head surface using a chisel and a
hammer. Clean all traces of backing material from the seating surface using a disc sander.
228
MAINTENANCE

8. Coat the cone head with grease using a paintbrush. Do not apply grease to the seating surface. The
grease will keep the backing material from adhering to the cone surface, allowing the mantle to
self-tighten during crushing and make mantle removal that much easier next time.
9. Lay the new mantle on its side and remove the paint and/or rust from the seating surface using a disc
sander.
10. Sand the top opening of the mantle liner for metal-to-metal contact with the washer.

13. Place a foam rubber ring around the cone stem sitting on top of the cone head so that it will fit and seal
underneath the liner and washer. This foam is installed to prevent backing material from flowing under
the torch ring. It also creates a space for slag to escape in future disassembly.
14. Install the mantle washer making sure the lug is in the smaller of the two (2) notches cut in the top bore
of the mantle.
15. Apply a coating of Never Seize to the threads on the mantle bolt and to the mating threads in the cone
stem. Install the mantle bolt turning it counter-clockwise (left-hand thread).
16. Tighten the mantle bolt to refusal using the mantle wrench and a sledgehammer.

2. Pour backing material through the holes in the flange at the top of the bowl liner. Pour backing until it
overflows through the holes provided in the bore of the liner.
3. When pouring is complete, plug the pour holes. Similarly, plug the overflow holes with silicone.
NOTE: Although not absolutely necessary for the proper functioning of the bowl liner, plugging the pour holes
is another way to prevent mud and debris from getting under the retaining ring and will make the next liner
change easier and faster.
4. There are special reusable pour hole caps (p/n 406206) available that can be used with silicone to seal
the pour holes. Kodiak+ series crushers leave the factory with these caps in place or they can be easily

holes, leaving some space near the top to form a well. Fill the well with backing material or silicone. If
backing material is used to plug the holes, be sure that the plug seals sufficiently to keep backing mate-
rial from flowing into the space between the liner and the retention hardware.
5. Next, fill the void between the mantle and cone head. Fill until backing material comes out of the pour
hole.
6. Allow backing material to harden for 24 hours, if possible, before operating the crusher.

This screen is typically only accessed during liner changes and/or when setting the crusher up for the first
time after delivery. It allows the user to indicate that new liners have been installed so that the liner wear can
be measured in terms of material consumed as well as crushing hours during the life of the newly installed
chamber.
Whenever the CSS is reset the control system calculates how much liner wear material has been worn off
since the last CSS RESET. The value displayed is based on the amount of bowl movement since the liners
were first installed. This screen allows the operator to inform the JCI Kodiak Crusher Control that new liners
have just been installed.
1. After the new liners have been installed, reset the CSS.

BOWL THREAD LUBRICATION PROCEDURE
NOTICE: Read and understand the directions for bowl removal prior to removing the bowl. In particular,
depressurize and disconnect the bowl clamp prior to removal. Failure to do so can result in a large oil leak and
possible damage to the bowl clamp seal.
NOTE: The bowl must be removed in order to service the bowl threads. It is easier to remove/install the bowl
with the bowl support installed in the crusher because the bowl rotation hoses will be conveniently routed.
6. Remove the drive ring.
NOTE: Although not absolutely required, the job will be much easier if the drive ring is removed from the bowl
after the bowl is removed from the crusher.
7. With the drive ring removed, the inside surface can damage the dust seals. Clean up as required with
a sander and protect from rain or other sources of water spray until reassembled.
8. Completely remove all grease from the threads on the bowl and bowl support.
NOTICE: Use care when wiping the old grease away. Any damaged surfaces may have sharp edges that may not
be visible through the grease.

BOWL THREAD LUBRICATION PROCEDURE
9. Inspect the threads for scrapes, nicks, tears, etc., and use a sander to refurbish any damaged surfaces.
Similarly, inspect and/or repair the smooth cylindrical surface on the outside of the bowl, below the
threads.
10. Inspect the rubber dust seals at the bottom and top of the bowl support for any tears. Replace any
damaged sections.
11. The seals can be used dry and do not require lubrication, but remove any old grease and/or dirt that
could cause undue friction and wear. Talcum powder can be applied directly to the rubber as an optional
lubricant if desired to cut down on friction without attracting dirt.
239
MAINTENANCE
BOWL THREAD LUBRICATION PROCEDURE
12. When all surfaces are clean and smooth, and the seals are in good working order, apply Mobilgrease
XHP322 Mine (formerly Mobilgrease Moly52) grease to the threads of both the bowl and bowl support
using a brush. Cover all surfaces completely, but the coating does not have to be thick.
NOTE: If working from a reusable open container, take care to avoid allowing windblown dirt and debris from
being deposited in the container and applied to the threads during subsequent service.
13. Have the lifting equipment available as soon as the grease is applied so that the bowl can be reinstalled
promptly in order to avoid undue contamination from windblown dirt. If the lifting equipment must be
delayed, cover all exposed surfaces with plastic sheathing to avoid contamination until lifting equipment
is available.
14. Reinstall the bowl.
15. Reinstall drive ring.
16. Reinstall the upper assembly.
17. Reconnect the bowl clamp connections.

15. Check leak rate. After the last test, do NOT open NV1. The pressure on the test block gauge should
drop briefly after the TEST button is released and then stabilize at the “reseat” pressure. The pressure
will continue to drop after reseating, but this drop should be markedly slower than before (approximately
10 drops per minute). The reseat pressure should be approximately 85% of the bypass pressure.

Maintenance and Repair Safety
General Precautions
• To help ensure safe machine operation, use only genuine Original equipment manufacturer (OEM)
replacement parts that are sold or approved by the machine’s manufacturer. Use of non-OEM parts may
adversely affect machine operation and could result in an a hazardous situation.
• Always tighten all fasteners to the proper torque as described in the repair procedures. When torque
specifications are not listed, use the values in the torque table at the back of this manual.
• Be sure all replacement fasteners are of the proper grade and specifications. Replace any worn or
damaged fasteners.
Electrical Systems
• Always read, understand and follow appropriate electrical system troubleshooting, maintenance and
repair instructions in the machinery manufacturers’ manuals.
• Allow only trained and licensed electricians to install, troubleshoot and repair electrical equipment. All
procedures must be in compliance with the National Electric Code and any applicable state or local
regulations.
• When servicing an electrical system, work with the power locked out and tagged. Always assume that
an electrical system is live until it has been locked out.
• Always tag and lockout power before removing cables with quick-disconnect plugs.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR SAFETY
Pressurized Systems
• Adjust, maintain and repair all pressurized systems only in accordance with the instructions contained
in the manufacturer’s manuals provided with the machinery.
• Never attempt to work on a pressurized system while it is pressurized or in operation.
• Before performing maintenance or repairs on any pressurized system:—Cycle the controls through all
operating positions to relieve any trapped pressure.—Check that ALL pressure is relieved from the
system. The pressure gauge must read zero (0) PSI.—Lockout and tagout all controls. Be sure electrical
power is properly locked out and tagged.
• Allow time for hot hydraulic oil to cool before performing any maintenance or repairs. Hot oil can cause
burns.
• Before loosening fittings or removing components, always recheck that ALL pressure is relieved from
the system. The pressure gauge must read zero (0) PSI.
• Never attempt to loosen a hydraulic fitting while a hydraulic system is pressurized. You could be injured
or killed by a stream of high pressure oil.
• Never have your face near, or stand directly in front of a hydraulic line when cracking a fitting, even after
system pressure has been relieved. Always assume that the line has pressure.
• Use a piece of cardboard to check for hydraulic oil leaks, not your hand. Escaping fluid under pressure
can penetrate the skin, resulting in serious personal injury.
• Clean-up any spilled hydraulic fluid. Hydraulic fluid is extremely slippery, and can be especially
dangerous if spilled on an elevated walkway or platform.
• Repair any leaks immediately. Always relieve system pressure and lockout/tagout power before tight-
ening fittings or making repairs.
• Never attempt to adjust pressure relief valves to above the machinery manufacturer’s recommended
settings. Serious personal injury and/or equipment damage could result. Do not operate any hydraulic
or air system with obviously worn or damaged, or leaking components. Always replace any defective
components immediately.
• Never place hands on hydraulic cylinder rods while equipment is in operation. Do not step on the
hydraulic relief cylinder hoses when climbing on the crusher.
• Refer to manufacturer’s instructions when recharging hydraulic accumulators or checking accumulator
pressure. Allow only trained hydraulic system technicians to depressurize, recharge or repair hydraulic
accumulators.
Welding On Machinery
• Be sure to provide adequate ventilation when welding inside enclosed areas to prevent the buildup of
hazardous fumes. Special concern should be exercised when welding chromium, manganese,
cadmium, copper, cobalt, lead and nickel, as these materials are considered to be potentially carcino-
genic.
• Be sure to wear the proper welding shield, welding gloves and clothing. Do not wear synthetic fabric
clothing or clothing which could be easily ignited by sparks.
• Always follow all standard safety procedures when welding. Be sure that all systems are shut down,
power is locked out, and controls are tagged. Provide welding screens to protect other employees
working in the area.
274
CRUSHER SERVICE
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR SAFETY
• Relieve all hydraulic pressure before welding near hydraulic components and lines. Cover hydraulic
components to protect them from weld spatter and sparks.
• Do not weld near flammable liquids or hydraulic oils.
• Welding lifting eyes or hooks to manganese steel castings is strongly discouraged, and should be done
only if absolutely necessary. Always use a stainless steel or manganese weld rod. Never allow
personnel to walk or work underneath castings being lifted or supported.
• Never ground the welder so that the electrical power will flow through bearings, hydraulic components
or electrical equipment. Serious damage could result.
• Be sure all compressed gas cylinders are stored upright, chained and capped. Turn-off all cylinders
when not in use.
WARNING: Never stick any part of a person’s body into the crushing chamber when
the upper assembly is raised.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR SAFETY
Hazardous Materials
• Be aware potentially hazardous chemicals or materials. Such items can be harmful if they are improp-
erly used, stored, mixed transported, if they are inhaled, swallowed or allowed to contact the skin.
• Consult your employer’s hazard communications plan for instructions regarding the proper handling and
use of hazardous materials. Read and understand the labels attached to the product containers. Always
follow the instructions carefully.
• Consult the manufacturer’s material safety data sheet (MSDS) for potential hazards and appropriate
medical procedures should an accident occur.
• Store hazardous materials only in approved containers. Be sure containers are clearly labeled.
• To avoid potential health hazards, persons in regular contact with hydraulic oils must be aware of the
importance of thorough hygiene, and the proper methods for handling mineral oils.
• Mineral-based hydraulic oils act as solvents on the natural oils of the skin. Frequent and prolonged skin
contact can cause dermatitis or severe irritation.
• Always wear suitable protective clothing when handling hydraulic oil.
• Be sure protective clothing and proper wash-up facilities are available to all personnel that may come
in contact with mineral-based hydraulic oils.
• Always dispose of used rags or paper towels in the correct and safe fashion.

WELDING CONSIDERATIONS
Welding Considerations
Whenever welding on or around heavy machinery, care must be taken to place the welding ground clamp as
close to the weld as possible. Special care is required to avoid placing bearings, hydraulic cylinders and/or
electronic components between the weld and the ground clamp. Attach the ground clamp to clean dry base
metal only. Whenever possible, the base metal should be freshly ground and the ground clamp should have
clean, dry contact surfaces, free of debris, corrosion, etc., firmly connected to the workpiece.
The minimum precaution for protecting electronic equipment on MILO equipped Kodiak+ crushers begins
with de-energizing the HPU power supply at the source. Follow all local lockout/tagout regulations.
Secondly, any potential current pathways between sensors and other external electronic components and the
HPU should be interrupted by disconnecting all of the cables and harnesses that connect to the bottom of the
electrical enclosure on the HPU. There are several cables and harnesses that have threaded or locking
connectors. All are located on the bottom of the electrical enclosure. Disconnect the cable that connects the
HPU to the remote control. This may be on the bottom or on the side of the electrical enclosure. These should
all be disconnected. These connections are all 24VDC connections and do NOT require opening the HPU
electrical enclosure.
Heater cables and other conductors that are connected to screw terminals inside the electrical enclosure do
NOT require disconnecting.
There are sensors mounted on the crusher that can be damaged by electrical fields commonly generated by
welding. JCI recommends that these sensors be removed when welding on the crusher or its support
structure. Most of the sensors are mounted on the upper assembly. Generally speaking there is some
welding associated with any liner change, but the upper assembly is removed during this operation so the
removal of those sensors is automatically accomplished. But there is frequently welding on or near the
crusher during installation of the crusher, and protecting these sensors could be easily overlooked. Therefore
during crusher installation be aware of these sensors and take appropriate precautions.
Follow the minimum recommended precautions whenever welding on the crusher or its support structure. If
welding near any sensors extra care is required. Removal of the sensor(s) is always 100% effective protec-
tion.

REPLACING V-SEAT LINERS
Method 1:
When bronze V-seat liners are installed at the factory they are attached using Aufhauser Aluminum Bronze
A2 solid wire x 0.045” diameter and 100% Argon shielding gas at 30-40 cu.ft/min at 23-26V and 275-350
in/min wire speed. Generally, the baseframe has been indoors long enough that little or no preheat is neces-
sary to drive out any moisture. When this option is available it is by far the easiest and fastest method.
322
CRUSHER SERVICE
REPLACING V-SEAT LINERS
Method 2:
Generally wire welding will not be an option for field repairs. One method that can be used to make the field
welding a little easier is to apply Inconel (a nickel alloy) to the edges of the liner where it will be attached to
the V-seat. Liners prepped in this fashion can be field welded using E7018 stick electrodes. The prep work
can be done ahead of time with stick, wire or TIG, although TIG is the preferred process. Customers inter-
ested in this option should contact the factory for more detailed instructions.
Method 3:
Welding with stick electrodes is the most readily available process for most field service trucks. Welding with
non-ferrous electrodes will be a new experience for some and practicing on some scrap is recommended if
possible.Choice of electrode will be limited to availability of local welding supply sources. The electrode used
successfully by JCI is Bohler Thyssen UTP 34N aluminum bronze x 1/8” [3.2mm] diameter. This is a DC+
electrode requiring 70-80A. (AWS A5.6: ECuMnNiAl). For more information on this electrode contact: Bohler
Thyssen Welding USA inc.Houston Texas 281 499 1212
Setup:
When replacing liners, it is important to thoroughly remove all traces of the previous liner and the welds to
create a smooth bump-free surface. Take a moment and mark the vertical position of the liner on the V-seat
to reduce layout time when installing the replacement. Note the spacing between the liners and attempt to
maintain similar spacing between the replacements. The vertical position varies somewhat by model. Try to
reposition at the same height as before. The space between the liners will tend to be between 0.56”[14mm]
and 0.63”[16mm].
Preheat considerations:
The welding surfaces should be preheated to drive out any moisture. (The exact temperature is not critical.)
If the baseframe and liners have been indoors for a substantial period of time, little or no preheat will be
required. Warm up as much of the V-seat as practical and then preheat the weld area for the next liner
between 150-300F[66C-132C]. Warm up the V-seat liner prior to clamping in place. Clamp firmly to draw the
entire surface into tight contact with the V-seat. Work from one end to the other to work out any bulges. After
tack welding in place, do not apply heat directly to the liner or it can tend to bulge between the clamps/tack
welds. Once warmed up and tacked in place, weld each liner right away before moving on to the next.

CRUSHING APPLICATION GUIDELINES
friable enough. A closed circuit crusher is more likely to see a reduction ratio of 4:1 to 6:1 and some fine appli-
cations may go as low as 3:1.
When choosing a chamber, consider the following guidelines.
1) Assume the maximum feed size should be less than or equal to the average of the open and closed
side feed opening.
2) The average feed opening should be equal to or slightly larger than the maximum feed size.
3) The feed should be graded such that approximately half the feed passes a sieve size equal to the
average of the open side feed opening and the CSS.
Example: A Medium Chamber Set at CSS = .75” (19.1 mm)
Midway between closed side feed opening and CSS. Less than 50% of feed should be smaller than this
4
size. [4.5” -.75”] / 2 = 2.625 or [114.3 mm - 19.05 mm] / 2 = 47.625 mm
5 CSS = .75” (19.1 mm). Less than 10% of feed should be smaller than this size.
Maximum feed to this chamber should not exceed 5.375” (136.5 mm). Note that there is still plenty of
6 room for the occasional oversize or oddly shaped rock, but feed equipment (grizzly, jaw, screens, etc.)
should be adjusted to produce 80% or more passing 5.375 (136.5 mm).
For most applications, the following guidelines will help maximize throughput, optimize product gradation, and
minimize wear and tear on the crusher.
• Keep the chamber choke fed. First and foremost keep the chamber full. It is virtually impossible to main-
tain control over gradation and throughput is always substandard whenever the chamber is not choke
440
REFERENCE INFORMATION
CRUSHING APPLICATION GUIDELINES
fed (aka trickle fed). Failure to choke feed increases sliding contact against the mantle and liner
resulting in uneven and/or premature wear and more impact loading on the bearings. Choke feeding
maintains downward pressure on the feed in the crushing chamber, which promotes rock on rock
crushing and urges the feed downward and through the chamber.
• Maximum feed size must not exceed the average of the closed side and open side feed openings. The
largest rock that will enter the crusher is almost always larger than the largest rock that was planned for.
This is especially true in slabby material. When that rock arrives it is highly likely to bridge across the
feed opening. Liners with feed slots and mantle caps with extensions can be installed to help tip slabs
over and get them aimed into the opening, but these are not intended to permit excessive reduction
ratios.
• Feed gradation should have approximately 50% passing a sieve size equal to the average of the closed
side feed opening and the CSS.
a) As the percentage increases beyond 50% (surplus fines), the power required increases and the
throughput tends to decrease. In severe cases, chronic bowl float will develop. Early wear on the
lower end of the chamber is also a symptom.
b) As the percentage decreases below 50% (course fed) the throughput may increase slightly but
particle shape tends to suffer and wear of the upper portions of the chamber is common.
• Keep reduction ratio within reasonable limits. The maximum reduction ratio in any application is
exceeded whenever there is bowl float. Some general guidelines may be used when planning a new
application. Open circuit cone crushers tend to be in primary or secondary positions making generally
larger products and may see reduction ratios of 6:1 to 8:1. As the product size increases, reduction
ratios of 10:1 may be tolerated but are the exception to the rule. Closed circuit crushers tend to be in
applications making smaller products and tend to run in the 4:1 to 6:1 range. As the product gets
smaller, 3:1 may be tolerated, but bowl float is more likely to be a problem in these very small reduction
ratios. These tend to be more specialized applications requiring more specialized solutions.
• Less than 10% of the feed should pass a sieve size smaller than the CSS. This condition tends to retard
flow through the discharge area and promote premature wear in the lower portions of the chamber.
Feed with more than 10% passing CSS is typically a symptom that the feed is too fine in general. As
the voids between particles in the chamber are filled with fine material, there is insufficient room for parti-
cles to expand when crushed. The result is bowl float.

The desired product size will typically dictate the CSS. Although there are exceptions to the rule, generally
speaking, the CSS will be approximately equal to or slightly larger than the desired product size. Once the
CSS and a general description of the feed is known, the liner selection is usually narrowed to only one or two
choices in most cases. This will in turn dictate some limits on top size based on reduction ratio. Knowledge
gained from experience with the rock in a particular area is the best tool for narrowing the selection criteria
and should be sought whenever possible. The other components of the plant before and after the crusher
need to be configured to produce a feed gradation that complies with the guidelines outlined above.
When reducing CSS, the recommended procedure is to make the changes in small increments (smaller than
.063” [1.6mm]), allowing the entire circuit to react to the change and stabilize. There is seldom, if ever, any
reason to make sudden CSS reductions. The same can be said for increasing CSS to fine tune the circuit.
442
REFERENCE INFORMATION
CRUSHING APPLICATION GUIDELINES
Make small adjustments and wait. When bowl float or high motor amperages occur, there is sometimes no
choice but to increase CSS suddenly, however. Prevention is preferable to reaction. Any sudden change in
CSS will typically have negative effects elsewhere in the circuit.
NOTE: Choosing the proper chamber and operating speed for a given crushing condition cannot be over-
stated. Refer to the references in this manual or call JCI for help in finding the chamber and operating speed
that will work best in your application.

Pinion Speed
Increasing Speed:
• Tends to decrease throughput, although not usually dramatically. Retards movement of feed through
the chamber, allowing rocks to be compressed more times.
• Tends to improve particle shape. Exposing rock particles to more frequent compression. The improved
particle shape can result in an increase in fines as well.
• Tends to reduce drive motor amperage. Horsepower is basically (torque X speed). Torque is related
directly to amp draw. Increasing speed generally reduces amps but should never increase amps.
• Reduces tendency for bowl float. This is directly related to the same (torque X speed) relationship. If
bowl float is detected, the only immediate cure is opening the CSS, which will generally have a negative
effect elsewhere. In such cases, speed changes may be a reasonable solution that will generally not
have any negative impacts downstream other than a possible increase in fines.
Decreasing Speed:
Has the opposite effects.
In general, unless the change is dramatic, speed changes fall into the category of fine tuning a circuit that is
basically working pretty good but has a specific area where some improvement is required. The best speed
is the slowest speed that keeps the motor amperage in the target range, and does not compromise output
gradation or promote bowl float.
Experience has shown that in the absence of any site or application specific date to the contrary, the Kodiak+
series will work well in a wide variety of applications with a pinion speed of 900 RPM.
• Portable plants must be able to handle a wider variety of applications and rock types. As such, they are
not the best candidates for speed tuning, but stationary plants can benefit by making adjustments.
• Open circuit applications tend to have less critical gradation requirements but downstream components
depend on maximizing output. These tend to be good candidates for slowing down below 900 RPM, if
amp draw suggests that there is power to spare and there is no current tendency for bowl float.
• Although there is no minimum limit on speed, Kodiak+ crushers seldom run slower than 800 RPM.
• Increasing speed beyond 900 RPM is seldom required but is sometimes used for applications with
particularly stubborn elongation problems, making products smaller than 3/8” (9.25 mm) and to a lesser
extent for particularly hard rock. Kodiak+ crushers run successfully up to 1000 RPM but these applica-
tions are rare.

Choke Feeding
Assuming that the bowl and liner have been properly selected for the feed material and desired product, the
most important thing you can do to optimize the performance and life of the Kodiak+ crusher and wear parts
is to keep the crusher choke fed. Many factors affect how difficult it is to keep the crusher choke fed, including
hopper and surge bin sizes, feeder and belt speeds, and loader capacity. Of these, surge capacity is perhaps
the best way to ensure that choke feed conditions can be maintained.
Rock Characteristics
There are some variables that the operator can do nothing about and these variables are characteristics of
the rock itself.
Abrasiveness
Manganese gets harder when you pound on it but will wear rapidly when it is exposed to sliding abrasion.
When you are properly crushing rock, the crusher action is trapping the rock in the closed side and squeezing
it until it breaks apart small enough to fall through the closed side. As the rocks tumble inside the crushing
chamber, they are rubbing on the liner, causing it to wear. The more abrasive the rock, the more rapidly
manganese will be lost. If the feed material contains abrasive compounds such as silica dioxide, iron oxide,
aluminum oxide, magnesium carbonate, or calcium carbonate, the liner will wear more quickly.
In the case of abrasiveness, expect reduced liner wear. Given that prospect, the operator is under even more
pressure to make good choices to match the feed gradation and speed with the chosen CSS and chamber
so that the wear is as even as possible from top to bottom.

Hardness
Hardness is basically the amount of pressure needed to break a rock. Kodiak crushers are designed to crush
rock with the compressive strength of 40,000psi or less. The following scale from ASTM C170 shows the
corresponding pressure classification:
PRESSURE STRENGTH
A simple test to do in the field to get a good idea of hardness is based on the Mohs Scale of Hardness. The
scale is hardness from 1 to 10 with diamonds rating 10. The following scale shows some common items you
can scratch a rock with:
Finger Nail 2

Fine Crushing
In some cases it is not practical or possible to continue to squeeze the CSS tighter and tighter to make smaller
and smaller products. If attempts to do so result in persistent bowl float but it is important to make that partic-
ular size product, it is sometimes possible to approach the problem entirely differently from that described so
far. To make very fine materials when other methods prove unsatisfactory, open the CSS and make adjust-
ments to the close circuiting screen to allow higher than normal recirculating loads. This will promote attrition
(rock on rock) crushing and can result in excellent particle shape in manufactured sand. Throughput is obvi-
ously compromised. This method is only practical where production of a specific product outweighs
throughput concerns.

Minimum closed side setting is the closest setting possible that does not induce bowl float. Actual minimum
closed side setting and production numbers will vary from pit to pit and are influenced by such factors as
nature of feed material, ability to screen out fines, manganese condition, and low relief system pressure.

CRUSHER LUBRICATION OIL SPECIFICATIONS
Synthetic Oil
Synthetic lubricants may be used in the Kodiak+ lubrication system. The viscosity of synthetic oil does not
vary with temperature as drastically as mineral oil based lubricants. Consequently, they will flow more easily
at cold temperatures and have a higher viscosity at elevated temperatures than a mineral based equivalent.
They will also tolerate high temperatures with less thermal breakdown allowing more time between oil
changes. These attributes may make synthetic lubricants an attractive option in extreme climates. Synthetic
lubricants are not immune to thermal breakdown, however. If operating at oil temperatures consistently higher
than 180°F (82°C), oil sampling and replacements are more critical.
An acceptable synthetic substitute for Mobilgear 600XP is Mobilgear SHC 150.

A typical oil sample report will include values for a variety of elements but there are a few that are of particular
interest because they are the key measure of contamination and/or wear:
• Silica. In a rock crusher, this translates as dirt. For the most part, any increase in silica indicates
increased infiltration of dirt from the outside or may indicate failure to change filter elements when they
become overloaded. The oil sampling port on the Kodiak+ lube panel captures oil before it enters the
filter so it represents the state of the oil in the reservoir. If the oil filter is maintained regularly, the oil
being delivered to the bearings will have a lower silica content than the value on the report.
• Iron. This is the primary wear byproduct and represents wear in any of the sliding or rolling parts of the
crusher interior. Although some iron will always be present in the oil sample, the main value of periodic
sampling is the ability to detect changes over time.
• Copper. The main sources of copper as a wear element are the bearing cages. As in the case of iron,
there will always be some copper present, but increases over time should be monitored. Copper content
will be higher than normal during the initial break in period but should level off. Increases after this
leveling off period should be monitored.
459
REFERENCE INFORMATION
CRUSHER LUBRICATION OIL SPECIFICATIONS
• Water. This will typically be reported as YES or NO. A YES reading on the report indicates that water
(measured in percent of sample volume) exceeded a threshold limit. YES typically means great than
1%, but you should check with the lab performing the test to verify what their threshold value is. Anything
other than NO is too much. There should be no appreciable amount of water entrained in the oil as a
contaminant. A small amount that might come out when the drain plug is removed for an oil change can
be overlooked, but if significant amounts of oil are being emulsified (oil appears milky), the source of the
leak needs to be determined and corrected.
It is normal for oil to break down over time due to thermal effects. The rate at which this occurs can be very
site specific and is primarily sensitive to operating temperature. This is another reason why periodic sampling
is useful. Synthetic oils are significantly more resistant but not immune to thermal breakdown.
• Viscosity. This is the most important indicator of oil condition. This will be reported as a viscosity
number with units of SSU (Saybolt Universal Seconds) or CSt (Centistokes) at a particular temperature.
When comparing against the baseline (new oil) viscosity, be sure that the baseline data is measure in
same viscosity units and at the same temperature. The oil should be changed before the viscosity
changes by 20%. The viscosity can decrease or increase over time, but in rock crusher applications, an
increase is more common.
Most oil tests will contain data on elements not listed in the contaminants chart above. Some of these
elements are constituents of the EP (extreme pressure) additives, but the primary elements found in EP addi-
tives are phosphorous and sulfur. Phosphorus is commonly reported but sulfur requires special testing and
is not commonly reported. A reduction in phosphorus indicates a deterioration of the EP additives. The oil
should be changed before the additive constituents drop by 50%. Some testing labs will flag changes in
elements that indicate breakdown of the oil of its additives.
Particle size count measures the size of the particles entering the lube oil. Recall that the test port on the lube
panel is sampling oil before it enters the filter. If the filter is maintained, the oil delivered to the bearings should
be removing most of the larger particle sizes. If a sudden change is noted in this part of the analysis data it
may indicate a new or enlarged path for external contaminants has opened up, or an accelerated wear of an
internal component is occurring. Evaluate a change in particle size reported with any changes in the amount
of silica, iron, or copper to get a clue on the source of the change. Any increase in the particle count should
also impact the filters. Therefore your first indication that a change is occurring in the size and/or number of
particles in the lube system may come from increased consumption of oil filters. This is another good reason
to be vigilant about watching the bypass indicator for you lube filter. Determining the particle count in the oil
delivered to the crusher bearings would require a separate test downstream of the oil filter. A second test port
is provided just below the cooler bypass valve.

ISO Rating
This value is a measure of the fluid contamination. It is a calculated value based on the number of particles
per ml between 5 micron and 15 micron. Somewhere in the same area of the report that contains the particle
count there will be a value labeled ISO and expressed as two numbers separated by a slash such as 22/16,
18/13, etc. As with most other values described so far, the main thing to watch for are changes that occur
over time. The actual value of the ISO rating is mainly of interest in hydraulic applications. As the numbers
increase, it indicates an increase in dirt or wear particles.
Beta 2 50%
Beta 5 80%
Beta 10 90%
Beta 20 95%

Previously, the terms “nominal” and “absolute” were used to describe filter efficiency. Terms such as “10
micron absolute” were meant to imply that the filter would capture all particles greater than or equal to 10
micron. Strictly speaking this was not true, and the Beta system is more precise. Few, if any, filter manufac-
turers use “absolute” anymore but it persists among end users. There is no industry-wide agreement on what
Beta rating corresponds to “nominal” or “absolute.” Assuming that Beta 2 (50%) translates roughly to
“nominal” and Beta 20 (98.7%) translates roughly to “absolute” is a reasonable rule of thumb.
The standard filter elements used on Kodiak+ crushers are:
• Beta5 2 (50% of 5 micron+ particles captured)
• Beta13 20 (95% of 13 micron+ particles captured)
• Beta16 75 (98% of 16 micron+ particles captured)
