MAINTENANCE
Unplug chopper power cord before cleaning, servicing or removing parts. Replace
parts before use.
MACHINE CLEAN UP
The machine should be thoroughly cleaned at the end of an operating day or after being idle for an extended
period of time. Refer to CLEANING for proper procedure.
HUB AND CYLINDER DRAIN
Hub Drain
A drain slot in the trim washer allows any meat juices to drain from the hub. This slot should be inspected
periodically to make sure that it is free of obstructions. A small brush can be used to remove any material
which may have accumulated.
Cylinder Drain
A drain hole at the bottom end of the cylinder allows any meat juices to drain. This hole should be inspected
periodically to make sure that it is free of obstructions. A small wire can be used to remove any material
which may have accumulated.
AIR INTAKE
Under normal operating conditions the motor air intake screen, located in the base of the chopper, will
need little or no attention. However, in some installations where sawdust or other foreign materials are
present in the air, this intake screen may become partially or completely covered. Where an adverse dust
condition does exist, periodically check the screen and wipe clean with a rag or brush as required.
STORAGE
The chopper should be completely cleaned and covered with a towel or other suitable cover when it is not
to be used in the immediate future.
SERVICE
Contact your local Hobart authorized service offi ce for any repairs or adjustments needed on this equipment.
OPERATION
Cut the meat into strips, turn the machine ON and feed the meat strips into the chopper, using the feed
stomper only as needed. If the strips are cut to proper size, they will feed without assistance from the feed
stomper, allowing both hands of the operator free to feed meat. When running meat through the chopper
a second time, more speed is attained by feeding small quantities at a time than by trying to force large
amounts with the feed stomper.
The feed pan should always be kept in place on the cylinder. It not only makes regular feeding easy, but
keeps the chopper attachment ready for immediate use. The fi neness to which the meat is cut is governed
by the size of the holes in the perforated plate, not by the tension put on the adjusting ring. Do not tighten
the adjusting ring more than hand tight.
