) will
alternate between the set point temperature and the temperature scale (
o
C for Celsius and
o
F for
Fahrenheit). To change the set point, push and hold in the “*” button and then press the “ ▲ ” or
“ ▼ ” keys to increase or decrease the setting. Release the buttons when done. Only make small

8.10 DRIVE MOTOR AND GEARS
The PBC 6000 is powered by a drive motor, located above the compression area of the machine.
The motor is responsible for turning the drive shafts that power all of the belts. The shaft in the
fixed channel is directly connected to the drive motor. When the swing channel is closed, a set of
spur gears on the drive shafts mesh together, providing power to the swing channel system.
(
Illustration 8.7, page 32
)
The spur gears should be lubricated with grease at least once a month. The fasteners that connect
the motor to the channel should be checked to ensure that they are secured to the frame. Once the
fixed and swing channel shrouds are removed, the shafts, gears and blocks can be inspected for
loose fasteners. It is imperative that the gears remain across from each other and that the shafts are
parallel to each other, when the swing channel is closed.
After normal usage the bearings for the drive shafts may need to be replaced. If the drive assembly
needs replacement, please contact your Fischbein representative.
