DISASSEMBLY TOOLS:
If the grinder is not located on floor level
make no attempt to disassemble the grinder
unit without an adequate platform or
provisions provided by the installation
contractor, plant engineer, or plant safety
officer. The grinder has many parts that
have square edges and cutting edges.
Adequate safety equipment should be used at
all times!
After the grinder has been installed in its
permanent position, it can be disassembled.
Plate Lifter
This is used to
remove the plate
and bushing from
the grinder unit, or
on assembly to
install the plate and
bushing into the
grinder unit.
GRINDER UNIT DISASSEMBLY:
When the grinder unit has been properly
secured, disassembly can begin.
Step 1. Use the Ratchet Assembly to remove
the ring. The Ratchet Assembly is shown in
the locked position for grinder operation.
To use the Ratchet Assembly, with the Power
Locked out, support the handle with one
hand, and slide the lock toward the grinder
hopper. This will realease the ratchet dog.
Using the Ratchet lever and ratchet dog to
push the ring counter-clockwise to loosen the
grinder ring.
When the ring can be turned
by hand, return the ratchet lever and dog to
the locked position.
OFF
ON
Step 2. When the ring
has been loosened turn
it off by hand.
Depending on the ring
type, the ring may
weigh 100 lbs. or more.
If this is more than you
can lift, get help! Use
the ring remover if
your machine has been
equipped with one. Do
not attempt to remove
the ring if you are out
of position, or if the
ring is higher than the
center of your chest, or
if you cannot lift this
much on your own!
Do not bang the ring
threads against the
centering pin!
