7. Plug the chopper in and run for one second. Turn off the chopper and check to see if the ring is
tight. If it is loose, then tighten it. Your chopper is now ready to operate.

The knives and plates should be kept together as a matched set. Failure to do so will result in mis-
matched cutting surfaces, which will lower productivity and product quality. When the knife
becomes dull, have it and its matching plate sharpened together. When the plate no longer extends
beyond the end of the cylinder, replace both the knife and the plate.
The threads on the cylinder and ring must be kept clean. If they become clogged, take a stiff bristle
brush and clean them. Also, keep the threads coated with a thin coat of grease.
Inspect the anti-friction thrust and fiber washers located on the end of the feedscrew. If they are
worn, then replace them. Failure to replace these washers when they are worn will cause premature
wearing of the feedscrew.

ROUBLESHOOTING
If your chopper should fail to function, there are several things you can check before calling a ser-
vice technician.
1. Check to see that the power cord is plugged in. If so, try plugging another piece of equipment
into the same outlet to verify that there is power at the outlet.
2. Unplug the chopper and remove the ring, plate, knife and feedscrew. Check to see if there is any
obstruction. Inspect the knife and plate for sharpness. If they are dull, sharpen or replace imme-
diately.
If there is still a problem, contact your nearest Designated Berkel Service Location.
