Replacing A Plastic Floor (Continued)
•
Using a block of wood or other soft material to protect the threads on the floor
assembly, force it upwards until it is free from the thrust plate and then lift it from the
blades.
•
Once the assembly has been removed, it can be disassembled by removing the
fasteners from the under side of the plastic floor which secure it to the upright.
•
Replace each assembly by reversing the above steps.
Changing The Blades
•
To ease removal of the blade assembly the front, rear, and side panels should first
be removed from the machine.
•
Next remove all of the floor assemblies, see replacing plastic floors covered above.
•
Remove the nuts securing the four blade holder braces, to the star plate.
•
Lift the entire blade assembly, (blades, blade holder, and braces), out of the hopper.
•
Once removed, a blade or blades can be replaced. Remember it is important before
securing any blades that the blade holder and knife assembly be inverted on a
surface plate or other known flat surface, verifying that all the blades are level and in
line with each other. If no other flat surface is available the lid of the divider could be
removed and used for this purpose.
•
Once complete, re-insert the assembly in the hopper and reverse the above steps to
re-assemble the machine.
Replacing The Thrust Plate
•
Should the thrust plate require replacement you should start by removing the blade
assembly as described above.
•
Remove the bolt securing the thrust plate to the cylinder rod. Once this bolt is
removed the thrust plate can be lifted from the machine and replaced.
•
When the machine is re-assembled the bolt securing the thrust plate to the cylinder
rod should be installed using “Loctite” adhesive to prevent loosening during
operation. The remaining components can be reinstalled by reversing the removal
steps.
