ASSEMBLY AND LUBRICATION
Before assembling the ALMFC12 Meat and Food Chopper wash all components thoroughly according
to the cleaning instructions below. Lubricate the drive shaft and the fiber washer with a light coat of
sanitary Petrol-Gel. Do not lubricate with cooking oil; it becomes gummy. Lubricate the knife and the
plate with a light coat of beef tallow.
To assemble the ALMFC12 Meat and Food Chopper:
• Coat the knife and plate with Petrol-Gel.
• Place the knife,
sharp edges facing out,
on the square extension of the worm assembly.
• Place the plate on the pin in the end of the worm and into the chopper housing aligning the
notch in the plate with the pin in the chopper housing.
• Screw the ring onto the chopper housing using minimum force. The ring controls the pressure
between the knife and the plate. Too much pressure will damage the knife and the plate.
Adjusting the ring will not change the consistency of the product, consistency is determined
by the plate you use.
Do not run the ALMFC12 Meat and Food Chopper unless it is processing product. The knife and plate
are easily ruined by running dry.
MOUNTING
DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE POWER SOURCE EQUIPMENT
BEFORE MOUNTING THE ALMFC12 MEAT AND FOOD CHOPPER.
To mount the ALMFC12 Meat and Food Chopper slide the chopper assembly, without the pan and
stomper, into the power take-off hub of the power source equipment. Align the pin in the chopper
housing with the hole in the power take-off hub and slide the chopper assembly all the way into the hub.
Make sure there is a firm fit between the drive shaft and the mating power take-off adapter provided
with the power source equipment. Tighten the thumb screw on the power take-off hub. Fit the pan to the
chopper housing and connect the electrical power to the power source equipment.
