6 OPERATION
6.1 MACHINE OPERATION
NOTE:
The 700MC Tenderizer will not operate unless the safety guard is closed.
Once the Tenderizer has been correctly installed and properly phased, the operation is extremely simple.
A . Connect the line cord to a suitable source of power.
B . Turn the Disconnect switch located near the center of the electrical access panel, to the ON
position.
C . Pull out on the red “POWER” switch.
D . Select either the “STD” or “HIGH” position on the Head Adjust switch.
This switch selects the range of product thickness that the tenderizer can accommodate. In the
“STD” position, boneless cuts up to 7 1/2” thick or bone-in cuts up to 7” can be processed. The
“HIGH” position allows cuts up to 9 1/2” to be processed, however in this position the blades only
reach to 2” above the conveyor on their downward stroke requiring the product to be at least 4” thick
and it is necessary to turn it over for a second pass through the tenderizer to provide complete
tenderization.
NOTE
– Changing the position of this switch while the main and head adjusting
motors are operating may cause the main motor to turn off. You should wait for the head adjusting
motor to reach its destination and stop before changing the switch position.
E . Place the meat centrally on the conveyor.
CAUTION: ATTEMPTING TO PROCESS MEAT THICKER THAN MACHINE CAPACITY OR
FORCING MEAT UNDER THE HEAD WILL SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE MACHINE.
NEVER CHANGE THE HEAD ADJUST SWITCH FROM THE “HIGH” TO THE “LOW” POSITION
WHILE PROCESSING PRODUCT THAT IS OVER 7 1/2” HIGH OR WHILE SUCH PRODUCT IS IN
THE MACHINE.
F . Press the green “START” button. The tenderizer will start and continue to operate until stopped
by pushing in on the “POWER” switch.
G . Meat less than one and one half inches thick may not be held in place properly by the guide
frame. Better and more rapid tenderizing will be obtained if such thin cuts are stacked to near
machine capacity.
H . It is desirable to keep the conveyor belt filled with meat without any gaps between cuts. Not only
does this maximize production, but it also assures that the meat moves intimately with the
conveyor and avoids the possibility of over-processing as a result of slippage.
I. To stop machine, push in the red knob on the “POWER” switch. The machine can also be
stopped by turning the disconnect switch to the OFF position or by opening a guard. The
tenderizer will NOT restart with either of these returned to their operating condition, the “START”
switch must be pressed.
