grooves.
b. WHEEL CLEANER ASSEMBLIES: Check condition of fiber cleaner, change every four (4) weeks.
c. REMOVABLE FINGER LIFT ASSEMBLY: Check condition of saw guard, make sure mounting bolts are tight
and the "DANGER EXPOSED BLADE" decal is affixed and legible. Check condition of upper saw guide,
replace every 6 months. Check adjustment of upper saw guide. Should be
saw guide carbide.
d. SAW GUIDE BAR: Check condition of bar for wear, replace if necessary.
e. STATIONARY BAR ASSEMBLY: Check condition of nylon filler, change every 4 weeks. Check condition of
saw guide, check tracking of blade through guide, back of blade should be centered in hole, replace every 6
months.
f. SAW CLEANERS: Check condition of blade cleaners, replace every 4 weeks.
g. MEAT GAUGE ASSEMBLY: Check free movement of meat gauge plate on gear rack. Gear rack to be kept
lubricated at all times with light food grade oil. Check operation of release handle. Check that worm gear
engages properly with gear rack.
j. MEAT CARRIAGE ASSEMBLY: Check free movement through full range of travel. Check side to side for
excessive clearance, adjust as necessary. Check condition of and grease bearings, replace as necessary.
Check condition of thumb guard, replace as necessary.
k. SAFETY ITEMS: Safety end cut pusher plate is with machine and accessible. All warning labels are present
and legible. Model and Serial Number plate is affixed and legible. Manual accessible to operator.
B. LUBRICATION

#14782 Blade Tension screw clockwise
until it bottoms out against #14781 Blade
Tension Handle then fill the cavity under
the O-Ring on the #14782 Blade Tension
Screw with #374 Shell Cassida Grease
EPS-2 and re-assemble.
7. MOTOR BEARINGS: Bearing grease will lose its lubricating ability over time, not suddenly. The lubricating
ability of a grease (over time) depends primarily on the type of grease, the size of the bearing, the speed at which
the bearing operates and the severity of the operating conditions. Good results can be obtained if the following
recommendations are used in your maintenance program.
A high grade ball or roller bearing grease should be used. recommended grease for standard service conditions
is Polyrex EM (Exxon Mobil).
Equivalent and compatible greases include: Texaco Polystar, Rykon Premium #2, Pennzoil Pen 2 Lube, and
Chevron SRI.
Recommended lubrications intervals is every 9 months with the equivalent of two (2) teaspoons of grease.
When lubricating the upper wheel bearing it is important that the three hex head
screws securing the upper wheel hub cap be loosened slightly before attempting to
pump grease into the grease fitting. Loosening the screws allows for an escape of
old broken down grease and air from the bearing cavity. Failure to loosen the screws
before greasing the upper bearings can cause the upper shaft seal to be dislodged
from the upper wheel allowing grease to escape and moisture to get into the cavity.
When finished greasing the bearings, retighten the three screws. Take care to also
clean off any grease that was pushed out of the cavity during greasing.
