Daily Maintenance
-Wipe down the seamer with warm water and a rag to keep it clean of sticky
residue. You can add a small amount of sanitizer or dish soap, but it is NOT
suggested to use other cleaners. Warm water is all that is needed to break up
sticky residues. Make sure to dry everything off thoroughly. If the seamer is
going to be stored for a period of time, we suggest rubbing a thin layer of food-
safe grease onto the seaming roller surfaces to avoid surface rust.
-The Splash Guard is attached onto the back of the seamer using magnets. Pull
the magnetic base back and off the inner panel to make it easier to clean the
inner surfaces of the plexiglass guard and the base shaft. When replacing the
magnetic base, attach the magnets to the vertical surface and slide it down until it
contacts the sloped surface of the inner panel.
-Pull the white plastic lower adapter off and use a rag and warm water to wipe
down the bearing, washer(s) and wave spring (see diagram above). Dry them off
and add a dab of grease into the bearing and rub some onto the spring and
washer(s). Replace them in the same order they were removed.
-Remove the base shaft by pulling out the quick-release pin. The shaft can then
be pulled upward and out of the machine. Wipe down the shaft and the bore that
the shaft rides in with water and a rag. Dry them off and rub a dab of grease onto
the shaft
. If this isn’t done
regularly, the shaft will eventually become sticky and
the splash guard handle will become difficult to close.
DO NOT
force the handle if
it becomes sticky or you will
!BEND OR BREAK!
The base adjuster.
Helpful Hint: remove and clean the base shaft at the end of the day and leave the
assembly on the counter next to the seamer so that the morning shift opener sets
it back into the seamer. This way there is a reminder that it is getting cleaned
often.
