MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS
This manual contains information about how to maintain, adjust, and clean the standard Grote
Slicer/Applicator. It does not include setup, control, and operational procedures.
Manual Covers Both Hydraulic and All-Electric Slicers
Grote slicers are built with two different types of power systems, Hydraulic and All-Electric. The
All-Electric slicer differs from the Hydraulic Slicer in several ways other than just the power system
of the machine. When a function being described differs with the type of slicer each type is
identified and described in this manual.
Hydraulic Power System
A built-in hydraulic power system drives the slicing heads. Slicing is controlled by hydraulic
valves that turn the hydraulic power on and off and set the speed of the slicing heads. A typical
single head hydraulic slicer is shown in Figure 1.
