1.7 SpitDriveMechanism
This unit is equipped with a planetary motion spit drive system. This means that each spit is
turning upon its axis at the same time that they turn about the center shaft. When the motor
switch is turned to on, the disks and the spits will begin to turn. Insure that the mechanism
turns smoothly when testing the unit.
CenterShaft
Spit
Beforecooking,it isimperativethat thecentershaft becoveredandprotectedwithaluminumfoil. Thiswill
preventfatsfromcarbonizingontheshaft,makingthe removalofthealuminumdisksmucheasierinthe
future. Ifthe shaftis notprotected, itmayeventually beimpossible toremove thedisksshould therebe a
probleminthespitdrivemechanism.
The driven and the stationary drive gears are located behind the aluminum drive disk. These can be
viewed by taking out the removable aluminum disks. The driven gears and the stationary gear should
be viewed once a week to check for fat or carbonization build-up. Any fat or dirt should be cleaned
off since a build-up will eventually damage the drive system.
