CHAPTER 4 - MAINTAINING THE EDLUND ARC XL SLICER
This chapter covers regular maintenance procedures that will ensure the best performance and long life of your Slicer. You
should always clean the Slicer after every use.
USE CAUTION WHEN HANDLING THE BLADE CARTRIDGE, THE BLADES ARE VERY SHARP. ALWAYS HAVE
THE WASH GUARD ATTACHED TO THE BLADE CARTRIDGE WHEN HANDLING.
Cleaning and Inspection
6. Lift the Handle Arm to its full up right position (Figure 2 on page 6).
7. Open the Cartridge Retainer(Figure 2 on page 6) by rotating it up.
8. Install the Wash Guard by sliding it over the Blade Cartridge (Figure 2 on page 6).
9. Turn the Thumb Screw clockwise until the Guard is secured to the Cartridge.
10. Slide the Blade Assembly out of the Slicer.
11. Remove the Pusher Assembly by unscrewing the Rear Knob on the back of the Handle Arm (Figure 2 on
page 6).
NOTE: The Pusher Assembly is heavy; use caution when disconnecting it from the Handle Arm by holding the Pusher
Assembly with your other hand. Be careful not to drop the pusher assembly or bend the pusher fingers. The
pusher should only be added or removed at the presence of the wash guard covering the blade cartridge.
12. Wash the Pusher Fingers Assembly and Blade Cartridge in a dishwasher if desired to clean & sanitize.
The components of the Edlund ARC XL Slicer are completely dishwasher safe. Or, you can wash the
components in soap and water.
13. After washing, inspect the Blades for nicks, bends and other damage. If damaged, replace or return to
Edlund for repair.
NOTE: Do not allow product waste to remain on the Slicer. Dried waste deposits are unsanitary and may affect the
operation of the Slicer.
Blade and Pusher Maintenance
1. Examine the Pusher Assembly Fingers. If they are nicked or burred, smooth the rough edges with a small flat
file. The spaces between the Fingers must be uniform. Carefully straighten any bent Fingers using pliers.
2. Check the clearance between the Pusher Assembly Fingers and the Blades. Make sure they do not rest on or
touch the Blades at any point during the Pusher travel. If there is contact, carefully adjust the Pusher Fingers
by using the supplied Spacing Adjustment Tool. Position the notched end of the Spacing Adjustment tool
against the Finger spacers and bend the Finger in the direction away from the interfering blade. The Spacing
Adjustment Tool has position indicators for 3/16" and 1/4" spacing. To check the Pusher Finger spacing,
align the Fingers to the valley of the notches, using the correct side of the tool for the corresponding spacing.
Replacing the Blade Assembly
Individual Blades cannot be replaced. Replace the entire Blade Assembly or send the Cartridge to Edlund for
repair.
