MECHANICS MAINTENANCE
Every year a mechanic or service technician should perform the following inspection and
carry out
the respective maintenance as required:
Warning: FOR SAFETY, TURN OFF SLICER AND DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL
CORD.
BELT DRIVE - This drive features a multi-ribbed high performance belt for long
trouble-free service. Inspect belt for proper tension. If glazed or excessively worn,
replace. A tensioning device automatically allows for normal belt wear-in and
stretching. However, if additional tension is required, it may be obtained by turning
adjustment nuts (Fig. 3 [21]) clockwise on take-up rod (Fig. 3 [26]) which will
further compress the tensioning spring. As a guideline, the compressed length of the
spring should be approximately 7/8".
CARRIAGE - Check for free smooth operation of last slice device and for smooth
travel of carriage arm (Fig. 4 [23]). Check for excess backlash between slide bearing
(Fig. 4 [50]) and carriage slide (Fig. 4 [55]). The correct lash (clearance) required
for smooth carriage operation is obtained when a very slight lash or movement can be
detected. Too much lash can result in the carriage striking and damaging the knife
edge. Too little lash results in binding and a loss of smoothness in carriage travel.
Lash is adjusted by loosening lock nut (Fig. 4 [47]) and turning nylon tipped stud
(Fig. 4 [48]) clockwise to reduce lash and counterclockwise to increase lash. Tighten
lock nut while holding nylon tipped stud stationary with a screwdriver so it does not
move. Grease only the side of the carriage slide (Fig. 4 [55]) on which this nylon
tipped stud screw slides. General guidelines: tighten screw until snug and then loosen
1/8 turn and tighten lock nut as described above
LUBRICATION & FUNCTION CHECK - General lubrication should be
performed in accordance with the lubrication instructions in Fig. 2. During this
lubrication sequence, be sure to check for free operation and movement of related
parts as well as for excessive wear and looseness of various parts. Be sure to check
all handles and knobs for tightness.
KNIFE - Check knife edge to see that it has been properly sharpened. If there is any
evidence of incorrect sharpening procedure, such as excessive honing, alert owner and
operator.
