Watch the video, or view the step-by-step guide further down the page.
COMPLETE DISASSEMBLY
STEP 1
First, ensure that the M108 is unplugged.
STEP 2
If they aren’t already, lock all four castors in place.
STEP 3
Next, remove the screens. You may have to remove a small set-screw underneath, depending on your model. Then, simply pop them out.
STEP 4
Squeeze the 2 clasps below the lid inward and lift to open.
STEP 5
Then, pop out the tumbler brush by pulling it towards you.
STEP 6A
Next up is the blade cartridges. First remove the bedknives …
STEP 6B
… then the spacer bars …
STEP 6C
… and finally lift out the helical blades. Remember, the blade cartridges are not bolted in, you simply lift them out, and set them aside.
STEP 6D
For these components especially, we always recommend a rack or shelf system for transport and storage, rather than setting them on a concrete floor.
STEP 7A
Last step: you’ll add air pressure to the AirThread Tension Tumbler. Attach the pump to the shrader valve. Give it a few pumps, and then roll the tumbler back and forth several times. This will help the bearings roll smoothly when its fully pressurized. Now, pump the AirThread Tension Tumbler up to 120psi.
STEP 7B
And here’s an important tip that will make this much easier. While you’re depressing the center of the schrader valve, push in on the centre of the tumbler to ensure that all of the air has been removed from the piston.
STEP 8A
Next you’ll remove the blue tumbler retaining rings. The easiest way is to hold the tumbler stationary with your fingers on the inside, while rotating the tumbler retaining ring with your thumbs.
STEP 12
Press down on the separator arm, and slowly pull the separator towards you. When you see an opening between the M108 body and the separator, get a good grip, and remove the separator the rest of the way.
STEP 9
The fan housing sits on two rails. Simply slide away from the M108 body.
So that’s it, a complete disassembly of the Mobius Trimmer M108.
