USE OF THE MACHINE:

Tighten ring/clampwheel until hand tight. Over tightening will cause plate and knife to wear and possible stall motor.

* Plate when correctly installed should be protruding from end of barrel by a minimum of 1/8"

Turn locking ring in direction indicated, until it applies a slight pressure on the hole plate and knife.

* Never start meat grinding / mincing before the head has been mounted according to instructions. Never operate the machine without product, this will cause knife and plate to over heat and burn operator if touched.

* Use only pusher feed stick / stomper provided.

OPERATION:

* Prepare meat in strips or chunks so they will easily be feed into feed hole. Place meat in feed pan, feed the meat from the feedpan to the feed intake hole, and push it toward the worm by use of the pusher feed stick. In order to prevent the meat from being pressed too much, and in order to obtain and evenly ground meat, it is recommended that the meat be fed forward into the feed intake hole at a constant rate.

ALWAYS USE FEED STICK WHEN

FEEDING PRODUCT IN

MACHINE

The fineness to which the meat is cut is governed by the size of the holes in the perforated chopping plate, not by tension put on feed stick pusher. If strips of meat are cut to proper size, they will feed with very little assistance from feed stick.

When running meat through machine a second time, more speed is attained by feeding small quantities at a time than by trying to force large amounts with the feed stomper.

There are a full line of optional plates available for your FLEETWOOD chopper.

Optional plate sizes: 1/8", 3/16", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4"
