UNIT ASSEMBLY:
Please study all the grinder parts shown on
the exploded view before you attempt to
assemble the grinder unit. (The exploded
view follows the Maintenance section.)
(These
instructions assume that the grinder unit has not been
disassembled any further than the instructions have
already given.)
Step 1. Inspect the excluder seal. It should
be clean and free of nicks, cracks, or tears. If
the excluder seal is damaged it should be
replaced.
It may be necessary to tap the excluder seal
in position. Use a rounded punch and soft
taps to help it in its proper position. Do not
use a screw driver or other pointed objects.
Push only around the center of the seal, do
not push on the soft lip. Apply force at the
hub of the seal, as shown. The lip of the
excluder seal faces out, and contacts the
hopper flange.
HEAD SPACE ADJUSTMENT.
Item 1 is our Adjustment Washer Part# 10409
(1/16" thick) or Adjustment Washer Part#
10408 (1/8" thick). These are used with an
Adjustment Bolt Part# 10407. Add or
subtract washers to obtain the 3/4" head space
dimension.
NOTE: This step is necessary when changing
feedscrews, heads, hoppers, or if the gearbox
has been rebuilt. Failure to set the proper
head space may result in improper cutting!
When the Head Space has been adjusted,
remove the feedscrew so that the Unit can be
assembled for operation.
LIP OUT
Step 2. Apply a small amount of edible
grease, vegetable shortening, tallow, lard,
chicken fat, bear fat, or some other lubricant
to the face of the seal.
(Check with your Quality
Control Dept. and your USDA representative for
approved materials.)
Step 3. Apply a liberal amount of this same
lubricant to the female drive spline teeth!
