switch to the STD setting and observe blade to belt clearance when the head stops its’ travel. Re-adjust if
necessary.
‹
The adjustable main upright(s) (p5-11, item 44) should never thread too far into the elevator nut(s)
(p5-8, item 7). There should always be 2 to 4 threads showing in the STD position.

INSPECT MAIN RETURN SPRINGS FOR CONDITION AND PROPER
ATTACHMENT. WITHOUT MAIN RETURN SPRINGS IN PLACE, THERE IS
DANGER OF THE DRIVE MECHANISM MOVING FROM ITS OWN WEIGHT
WITH THE MACHINE STOPPED WITH THE HEAD IN THE UP POSITION.
7.3.3 HEIGHT ADJUST CAM MECHANISM
The cam assembly is shown on page 5-8. Under normal conditions the DC amperage draw during the
function of the high low motor should not exceed the 1.5 amps shown on the motor nameplate. This is
checked on every tenderizer from the factory with amperage ranges normally between .7 to 1.25 amps.
The following conditions will effect this function:
1. If
one main upright is set higher that the other, the high low mechanism will be overworked and will
eventually fail. This will only happen if the chain has slipped on one of the lift sprockets . To check
for level of the main uprights , remove the head frame and check across the tops of the main
uprights with a straight edge. Disconnect the chain and turn one of the lift sprockets to even main
uprights . Reconnect chain and tension.
2. If the high low mechanism is not used on a regular basis, the grease will harden and increase turning
resistance.
3. If the chain is adjusted too tight extra effort will be required to turn the mechanism
4. The
main uprights must not be allowed to thread too far into the elevator nuts.
Always make sure that the
main return springs (p5-9, item 3, p5-10, item 27) are in good condition and
firmly attached to their mounts.
7.3.4 RESET PAD/PLATE CLEARANCE
These soft reset pads push the blade assemblies which have been released from their
magnet carrier,
(p5-3, item 1), to within the magnetic forces of the magnet carrier . They then will be pulled into place by
these magnetic forces. If clearance does not exist and the soft reset pads where to be pressed against
the end of the blades, eventually the reset pad will be destroyed. Once perforated or torn, the reset pad
becomes a place for bacteria and can even damage blade assemblies with this extra force.
