USE OF THE MACHINE:
Tighten ring/clampwheel until hand tight. Over tightening will cause plate and
knife to wear and possible stall motor.
* Plate when correctly installed should be protruding from end of barrel by
a minimum of 1/8"
Turn locking ring in direction indicated, until
it applies a slight pressure on the hole
plate and knife.
* Never start meat grinding / mincing before the head has been mounted
according to instructions. Never operate the machine without product, this will
cause knife and plate to over heat and burn operator if touched.
* Use only pusher feed stick / stomper provided.
OPERATION:
* Prepare meat in strips or chunks so they will easily be feed into feed hole. Place
meat in feed pan, feed the meat from the feedpan to the feed intake hole, and
push it toward the worm by use of the pusher feed stick. In order to prevent the
meat from being pressed too much, and in order to obtain and evenly ground
meat, it is recommended that the meat be fed
forward into the feed intake hole at a constant rate.
ALWAYS USE FEED STICK WHEN
FEEDING PRODUCT IN
MACHINE
The fineness to which the meat is cut is governed by the size of the holes in the
perforated chopping plate, not by tension put on feed stick pusher. If strips of meat
are cut to proper size, they will feed with very little assistance from feed stick.
When running meat through machine 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.
There are a full line of optional plates available for your FLEETWOOD chopper.
