5. WORK QUALITY
4
• Before carrying out any work, stop the machine.
• If the products have not been cleared properly, check that:
- the ejector is fi tted correctly,
- the products in the receiving bowl are not blocking the outlet,
- there is not an accumulation of products in the cutting cham-
ber,
- there are no foreign bodies or broken cutting elements inside
of the cutting chamber.
• If the quality of the cut is not satisfactory, check:
- the direction of rotation (anti-clockwise viewed
above),

Maintenance

Unplug the machine before carrying out any operation.
Maintenance may only be carried out by a qualifi ed, trained and authorised person.
6. MECHANICAL PARTS
1
• The vegetable cutter requires a minimum amount of mainte-
nance (the motor and the mechanical part bearings are greased
for life).
• It is recommended to check the tension and wear of the belt
at least once a year.
In order to check it, proceed as follows:
- Unplug the machine,
- remove the TR 260 from its table (4 screws - 19 mm spanner)
or unscrew the four feet (TR 260 without table) and lie it on its
side,
- remove the central screw and remove the bottom plate.
• To change or tension the belt:
- Unscrew (by 2 turns max.) the 4 retaining screws of the motor
mounting (13 mm spanner).
- Lightly unscrew the tensioning screw on the left hand side and
the locknut (10 mm fl at spanner) until the belt is loose on the
pulleys.
6. MAINTENANCE OF THE CUTTING EQUIPMENT
2
• C slicing discs: sharpening of the blades
- Remove the attachment screws.
- Sharpen with a grindstone, keeping the blade at the same
angle.
• AF slicing discs:
- The blades are sharpened in the same way as those of the C
slicing discs (see above).
- The blade blocks are interchangeable.
6. ADJUSTMENT OF THE SAFETY DEVICES
3
• Check that the safety devices are operating correctly prior to
each use. The motor should stop within less than 2 seconds.
- When the lid is opened, dimension E at 18 mm max,
- when the feed arm is opened, if the gap F is at maximum 60
mm from the edge of the feed hopper.
- that the correct cutting equipment has been chosen (see
§3.2),
- the condition of the cutting equipment (see § 6.2),
- the choice of the feed hopper (see § 3.4),
- the way that the products are placed in the feed hopper (see §
3.4).
If the problem persists, contact the service department of
your local dealer.

ATTENTION!!
- Push the driven pulley hard with your right hand in order to
give the belt its initial tension.
- At the same time, tighten the tensioning screw with your left
hand (no tool required).
- Measure the distance between centres of the two pulleys.
- Tighten the tensioning screw by 4 turns using a spanner, which
corresponds to an increase of around 3 mm of the distance
between centres.
- Tighten the tensioning screw lock nut and the four motor
mounting retaining screws.
- Remove any belt dust from the inside of the housing.
- Check the condition of the electrical connections.
- Refi t the bottom plate, the central screw, the four feet or the
four table attachment screws.
• Periodically:
- Grease the cutting equipment drive shaft with liquid paraffi n.
• AM grids:
The blades may not be changed as they are moulded.
- If necessary, sharpen using a small fi le to repair any damage
caused to the blades by a shock or impact.
• J/P/K graters:
The graters cannot be re-sharpened.
- In the case of major wear of the grater teeth, change the
cutter.
• If any one of the three safety devices does not work:
- do not use the machine
- have it adjusted by the service department of your local dealer.
