Step 13. INSPECT THE HEAD
THREADS. After the plate has been
installed we recommend inspecting
the head threads. The threads must
be perfectly clean, and free of any
nicks or burrs. If there are nicks or
burrs they must be removed or the
ring and head may lock together.
When the threads are clean, lubricate
the threads with a small amount of
edible grease. Do not use mineral oil!
If head and ring are stainless steel
using an approved anti sieze type
lubricant is highly recommened.
Step 10. INSPECT THE PLATE BUSHING.
The plate bushing should be clean, and free of
nicks and burrs. Inspect the inside diameter,
it is common to show wear because the
bushing supports the weight of the feedscrew.
Replace the bushing when there is .035 wear.
Apply a generous portion of edible grease,
vegetable shortening, tallow, lard, chicken fat,
or some other lubricant to the inside diameter
of the bushing.
(Check with your Quality Control
Dept. and your USDA representative for approved
materials.)
Step 11. INSTALL PLATE BUSHING.
Install plate bushing into orifice plate. Then
lubricate the inside surface of the grinder
plate. (The side that will be in contact with
the knife inserts).
