Plate Lifter
Step 9. Install plate and bushing. Place plate-bushing combination over the end of the pin.
Slide the plate toward the grinder head. Using the plate lifter, lifting on the bushing, slide the
plate and bushing into the machine. Yes the feedscrew is heavy and some effort is required to
do this. If the plate and bushing slide into the grinder easily, something is wrong!

Step 8. Install bushing in plate. Lubricate the inside of the bushing with an edible lubricatant.
If you don't know which one to use, contact your quality control department, management, or
maintance. Failure to do so can cause the bushing to seize to the pin! It is also a good practice
to apply a light coating of edible lubricant to the inside surface of the plate (the side that runs
against the insert). This helps to keep the plate cool until product arrives at the plate.
