ASSEMBLY: (See Diagram, Page 4 or 6)

1. BEFORE USING: Wash all parts of the head in hot soapy water. This will remove any grease residue and dirt left from the manufacturing process. DO NOT PUT PARTS IN DISHWASHER.

2. Remove retaining ring (#1), grinding plate (#5), knife (#8), and auger (#9) from the grinder head

(#12). Be sure that the star bolt (#15) on the side of the motor coupler is backed all the way out.

Insert the grinder head into the motor coupler so that the auger fits properly into the main gear (#21).

The head should be positioned centered and upright so that the locking screw can be firmly tightened to hold the head in place during operation. Tighten the locking screw against head.

3. Insert auger (#9) into grinder head and turn until the auger slips into the shaft of the motor.

4. Place the knife (#8) on the square auger stud (#9A) of the auger (#9) with blades facing out.

5. Place grinding plate (#5) on auger stud in front of knife. Make sure notch in plate is on locating stud in head. (Cutting edge of knife should be facing and flush against the grinding plate.)

6. Screw retaining ring (#1) onto head until tight. Hand-tighten as tight as you can. Do not over-tighten. Over-tightening will cause undo wear on the knife and plate of the grinder. If ring is not tight enough, meat may mash instead of being cut by the knife. A dull knife or plate will also cause mashing of the meat. If mashing occurs, disassemble the grinder, remove all meat from grinder and plate, reassemble grinder and tighten ring tighter than it was previously before beginning to grind meat again.

7. Insert meat pan (#14) into grinder head securely.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

GRINDING: When making burger from wild game, add a minimum of 10% pork fat to the meat.

This will give the burger moisture, but still not make it fatty. If pork fat is not available, use beef fat.

Never use beef suet. Suet is too hard and the burger will be cooked before the suet melts causing suet particles to remain in the burger.

Cut meat into small pieces that will easily fit into the throat of the grinder head. Meat should be 40¡ or colder and free of gristle and sinew. Feed meat slowly into the throat of the head. Use the meat stomper to push meat into the throat of the head. Do not force meat. NEVER USE FINGERS

TO PUSH MEAT INTO THE HEAD. Grind meat through the coarse plate first, turn motor off and unplug the grinder. Then, remove the coarse plate and clean the head of sinew, fat or gristle that has accumulated during the first grind. Assemble the unit with the fine plate, plug grinder in and assembly section in this manual.

STUFFING SAUSAGE CASINGS: When making sausage, use at least 20% fat with your meat and grind it like burger. Mix the seasoning with the meat after the first grind and grind a second time.

meat. Unplug the grinder, remove the grinder knife and plate. Install the stuffing plate (#12) in place of the knife and plate. Put stuffing tube (#11) in front of stuffing plate and secure with the retaining ring. Slide casings onto stuffing tube making sure to leave the end of the tube open. Turn grinder on and feed meat into the head until meat is at the end of the stuffing tube. Stop grinder grinder. This procedure will keep the casing from filling up with air when you first start stuffing.

Continue to feed meat into head until the casing is filled.

CLEANING: Unplug grinder and disassemble the grinder head. Wash all parts in hot, soapy water and thoroughly rinse in hot water. Allow parts to dry completely. Spray parts with food-grade silicone (Available at LEM Products.) to prevent rust and keep your grinder in like new condition.
