For best results, use knife and plate as a set. Do not operate machine for any period of time

without product in the grinding bowl. This will cause heating and dulling of the knife and plate.

10. Located on the side of the machine are a green and red pushbutton for activating the internal motor control

contactor. The magnetic interlock switch is mounted under the rear machine cover. It lines up with the

magnet attached to the product mixer safety cover. When the safety cover is raised the machine will stop

operation.

11. Push the green start button. CHECK THE ROTATION OF THE MIXING PADDLE; ROTATION

MUST BE COUNTER-CLOCKWISE as indicated by the rotation decal afxed to the mixer paddle

front mounting hub. Backwards operation will not allow mixing paddle to feed product to the grinding

auger efciently.

13. If machine runs clockwise(backwards), it must be rewired to correct rotation, otherwise serious

irreparable damage may occur to the grinding components. Both the auger and the mixing paddle must

operate in the proper direction.

14. Check operation of optional footswitch if equipped. Plug footswitch cord into tting on control panel.

Turn selector to foot. The machine will operate with pressure on the footswitch treadle. Releasing the

treadle stops the machine.

15. Insert auger assembly into the grinding bowl and fully engage the auger into the drive shaft. Place knife

rst (sharp edges out) then grinding plate into end of grinding bowl. The grinding plate slides over the

knife drive pin, and is held from rotating during operation by three pins in the grinding bowl. Install the

end retaining ring.

ONLY HAND TIGHTEN END RETAINING RING

16. Check placement of all warning labels and Manual. Machine is now ready for trained operators to process

18. Contact your local Distributor or BIRO directly if you have any questions or problems with the installation

or operation of this machine.

12. Lift slightly the clutch arm and push to the rear of the machine. CHECK THE ROTATION OF THE

AUGER DRIVESHAFT; ROTATION MUST BE COUNTER-CLOCKWISE as indicated by the
