Page 23: Operation Prep
OPERATION PREP Please take the following steps to confirm that Mobius Trimmer M108S is ready to operate: 1. Complete a thorough inspection of the blades and tumbler following the 6-Point Blade Inspection steps to ensure that the blades are seated properly.
Page 24 5. Ensure there is an empty tote on the outfeed end of the trim line to collect the material. 6. Ensure there is an empty trim tote stationed close to the back of the M108S, near the separator. 7. If using conveyors, put them into place and adjust the trimmer to the approximate angle you expect to be trimming at.
Page 25 VACUUM (dry trim only): Because dry material is so much lighter than wet material, the vacuum can be used to adjust how long material is held in the tumbler, thus how tightly it is trimmed. Reducing the vacuum will allow material to flow through the tumbler more quickly with a looser trim;...
Page 26: Hot Swaps
HOT SWAPS The Mobius M108S was designed in a way that enables speedy swap-out of all plant-touching components. Depending on the material being run (wet, dry, strain, etc.), the temperature in the room, and a variety of other factors, some or all of these plant touching parts may need to be changed out during a trim session.

TIPS & TRICKS Our team has been into countless facilities all over the world since the release of the Mobius Trimmer and we’ve learned a lot along the way! Here are the tips & tricks that we use to maximize trimming throughput and quality.
Page 30 • The Mobius Trimmer can handle pretty much anything you can throw at it, but what you get out is directly related to what you put in. If you feed material that has been very well prepared, with all of the larger leaves removed, you can expect to perform less clean-up on the outfeed and to achieve a high flower to trim ratio.

Page 32: Cleaning
CLEANING While the body of the Mobius Trimmer cannot be power washed, many of the components can be. Once the removable parts are out of the machine, the body and lid can be washed and wiped as needed. The lid can be wiped down while installed on the body or removed for cleaning. The exterior should never be hosed or sprayed.
