Breakdown for Cleaning of the M108S Trimmer
Step by Step
01
Open the lid, install the Spring Jack tool, and start by removing the tumbler.
02
While one person is doing this, another team member can remove the blade components.
03
The bed knives and spacer bars fit into one rack, with three of the slots sized for the bed knives and three of the slots sized for the spacer bars.
04
To clean the upper side of the bed knife, flip it over and you’ll be able to anchor it onto the top of the rack ends.
05
Each helical blade can be removed and set in the helical blade storage rack. This rack houses the bearing blocks so the blade can be washed.
06
The blades can be transferred to the helical blade support rack to clean the bearing blocks.
07
All of the racks fit within the soak’n’store tubs which can be filled with hot water and a degreaser to clean off resin, but the bearing blocks of the helical blades should not be submerged in water.
08
Continue removing the hex screens, brush, clear lid panel, and side panels, and set these aside for washing.
09
If necessary, the entire lid can be removed from the machine by rotating it slightly forward and lifting up.
10
Next you can remove the fan housing air filter, the trim tote.
11
The separator and the fan housing itself.

You’ll notice how important it is to have enough space and horizontal surfaces to place the individual components on for cleaning. When setting up your wash bay, be sure to keep this in mind. You may also want to outfit your room with the racks seen in our video. All of these are listed in the ‘Caring for your M108S’ section of the Mobius site.
14
When cleaning your M108S, it's a good idea to separate the parts into two groups.
1 - Anodized and nitrided parts should be cleaned using a product with a pH of 7.0 - 10.0. This group includes the blades, retaining rings, body and lid, and the anodized versions of the separator and fan housing.
15
2 - The second group can be cleaned using products with a broader pH range of 7.0 – 14.0. This group includes the trim tote, brush, tumbler, lid and side panels and stainless steel separator and fan housing.
16
If you’re having trouble cleaning the triangle bars in the lid, here’s a helpful tip that Kurtyss from CannGroup came up with. Wrap wet towels around the bars and leave them to sit for a period of time – either a few hours or overnight if possible.
