STEP 5: For ¾” Stew Cradles
GENTLY pivot both blade assemblies together simulta-

cradle end is
between
the second and third feeder blades
at the same end. Note: other stew blade assemblies with
different spacing start at different points. Allow both drive
coupling ends to rest in the cradle supports. You must fin

NOTE: You must take extra care in this procedure so as to
match the back tenderizer blade assembly equally
to the front cutting rollers in the exact way it
came from the factory. If assembled properly, no
binding should occur between the front and rear
blade groups.
