Vertical Spring Replacement
5.15
If the cleaver's vertical spring is worn, broken, or disfig-
ured, use the following steps to replace the spring.
5.16
Remove the cleaver back plate by removing the single
slotted screw (see Figure 13)
5.17
Remove the cleaver cover by removing the two slotted
screws. Lift the cover straight off the cleaver, taking care not to
bend the small post which projects from inside the cover
(Figure 13).
5.18
Remove the parts of the broken vertical spring (Figure14).
If the spring is merely worn or disfigured and still attached to the
horizontal posts, use a hook spring tool to unhook the spring
from the top horizontal post.
5.19
If necessary (typically on units with serial numbers
< 1000), insert a small punch or dowel into one of the lower hori-
zontal post access holes of the cleaver.
Gently tap on the post until there is just enough space to remove
the lower end of the new spring on the post
(Figure 15). If still present, slide the bottom end of the old spring
off the post.
The lower posts on newer FBC-005s do not extend across
the access space and therefore do not require the use of a dowel or punch
to move them.
Figure 15
5.20
Lower the new spring from above and behind the
horizontal spring and secure it to the lower post.
Insert the dowel in the opposite post access hole and gently tap it
back into place. Center the end of the spring on the lower post.
5.21
Use the hook spring tool to lift and set the top of the
new spring into the groove in the upper horizontal post
(Figure 16).
5.22
Reinstall the cleaver cover on the unit, carefully aligning
both of the screw holes and the post inside the cover with proper
holes in cleaver assembly. Secure the cover with the two slotted
screws removed in step 5.17.
5.23
Replace the back plate on the cover and secure with
the remaining slotted screw. When properly installed, there is no
friction in the normal movement of the cleaver.
