INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Container Inspection
Inspect the container for visible and/or concealed damage, if the equipment or container
seems to be damaged make a note on the shipping documents such as “Damaged” or
“Open” and notify the freight company asking for an inspection. Remember, the receiver
is responsible for filing damage claims. In such a situation you must retain all the
packaging until the inspection is complete to verify the damage and thus lessen the
chances that your claim will be denied.
CAUTION
ANY STAND, COUNTER OR OTHER MOUNTING SURFACE MUST BE
CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING THE MACHINE’S WEIGHT.
Select a location for your heat sealer which has a substantial mounting surface. Refer to
the general space requirements page to ensure sufficient operating area.
Ventilation/ Clearances
Sanitary standards for food packaging areas require a clean, adequately lighted and
ventilated room. Before the first use of your heat sealer, select a surface with a
sufficient amount of clearance from the front and the back of the machine and a
minimum of (2) two inches per side.
Initial Set-up
Take some time get familiar with the basic components for you heat sealer. The
illustration below

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE
THE STAINLESS STEEL PAN MAY NEED TO BE COATED WITH A
RELEASING AGENT, (NON-STICK SPRAY, BAKING GREASE,
FLOUR, ETC.), PRIOR TO PLACING THE DOUGH IN THE PAN.
Basic Operation
•Before dividing the dough, the dough should be scaled out to the desired weight.
Do this by choosing the size of the portions you would like to yield (refer to table
4-1). Place the dough into the stainless steel pan and push the dough firmly
along the bottom edge, flattening it by hand.
•Once the dough has been hand flattened in the pan, place the pan under the
main plate and blade components.
•Compress the dough completely by pulling down on the operating handle to its
furthest extent.
•After the dough has been compressed, allow the handle to return to its resting
position and then pull the top lever towards you, (this will release the knives), and
then pull down on the operating handle to divide the dough.
•After the dough has been cut, allow the handle to return to its resting position and
release the top lever.
•Remove the pan from under the main plate and remove the evenly divided
pieces of dough from the pan.
You may now repeat the process to make additional divisions.
TABLE 4-1
Use the formula in the table to determine the initial weight of the dough, where:
S = Size of the portions wanted (in ounces)
A = Amount of pieces the knife can divide (36 or 16)
W = Weight of initial piece of dough
W = S x A ÷ 16 (oz. / lb.)

MAINTENANCE
NOTE
REMEMBER NORMAL MAINTENANCE WILL INCREASE THE LIFE OF THE
MACHINE. IT IS ALSO A GOOD TIME TO INSPECT THE MACHINE FOR DAMAGED
OR WORN COMPONENTS, WHICH MAY LATER CAUSE PROBLEMS.
NOTE
INSERT THE QUICK PIN IN THE GUIDE BAR TO IMMOBLEIZE THE DIVIDING
HEAD BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN OR SERVICE THE UNIT.
CLEANING
General
Use a mild detergent solution or spray cleaner on all exterior surfaces as necessary.
Daily
CAUTION
FREQUENT CLEANING OF THE MAIN PLATE AND KNIFE
ARE REQUIRED TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE KNIFE.
At the end of the day remove the T-pin so that the arch assembly can be tipped to one
side for easier cleaning. It is best to have two people tip the arch assembly, one lifting
and one catching. After the arch is opened for cleaning actuate the operating handle to
extend the main plate and knife assembly.
Begin cleaning by dislodging particles of hardened dough with compressed air, a stiff
bristle brush, or a plastic scraper.
CAUTION
NEVER USE WIRE BRUSHES AS DAMAGE TO THE SURFACE
PLATING OF THE CONTACT SURFACES MAY RESULT.
Those particles which can not be removed using the above procedure should be
softened using a spray bottle containing water, or by applying small amounts of
vegetable or mineral oil. Once softened remove these particles with a cloth, stiff bristle

0623S20012 5-2
MAINTENANCE (CON’T)
brush or plastic scraper. Clean all cracks, crevices and surfaces of the main plate.
Rinse with a light spray of clean water or a damp cloth and dry.
Using the top lever, release the blades from the main plate exposing the knife. Clean
the knife using the same cleaning methods as described above.
LUBRICATION
NOTE
ALWAYS USE FOOD APPROVED LUBRICANTS WHEN
GREASING OR OILING THIS MACHINE
Monthly
Most lubrication should be done monthly and should be completed with the normal
cleaning. Following is a list of things which should be greased or oiled.
1. Monthly, (weekly for machines experiencing heavy usage), guide posts to the left
and right.
2. Grease the gear on the end of the operating handle and the rack gear it meshes
with.
3. Add a few drops of food approved oil to each of the oilers located around the pivot
for the operating handle on the top of the machine.
