RECOMMENDED LUBRICANT
Use a food grade lubricant that is non-toxic,
sanitary and approved for incidental food con-
tact. The lubricant recommended for this ma-
chine, except motor, is Haynes® Lubri-Film (list-
ed as H-1 by the USDA). Lubricant may be
purchased from Urschel Laboratories in spray
cans for gears and grease cartridges for bear-
ings. See “Tools’’ , page 69.
LUBRICATION POINTS
The machine has a total of seven (7) grease
fittings (Figure 20). Lubricate the fittings until
grease comes out from around bearings and
thrust washers. Lubricate slice adjustment bear-
ing with a drop of oil immediately after machine
has been cleaned (Figure 21).
LUBRICATION SCHEDULE
Lubricate as follows:
1. Every four hours of operating time.
NOTE: 22 knife crosscut spindle bearings
require lubrication every two hours.
2. After cleanup to force cleaning solutions
from bearings. Before replacing covers, lu-
bricate until grease appears at the bearings
and thrust washers.
3. After maintenance to replace any grease
lost during these procedures.
GEAR LUBRICATION
Lubricate all gears daily or when the coating
of lubricant has worn away from tooth faces.
Use the spray lubricant supplied with machine,
following directions on the label. Gears are ac-
cessed by lifting the motor cover and the dicing
unit.
