CautIOn
Chlorides or phosphates in cleaning agents (e.g.
bleach, sanitizers, degreasers or detergents)
could cause permanent damage to stainless steel
equipment. the damage is usually in the form of
discoloration, dulling of metal surface finish, pits,
voids, holes or cracks. this damage is permanent
and nOt covered by warranty. the following tips
are recommended for maintenance of your stain-
less steel equipment:
• Always use soft, damp cloth for cleaning, rinse
with clear water and wipe dry. when required,
always rub in direction of metal polish lines.
• Routine cleaning should be done daily using
soap, ammonia detergent and water.
• Stains and spots should be removed using a
vinegar solution.
• Finger marks and smears should be removed
using soap and water.
• Hard water spots should be removed using a
vinegar solution.
warnInG
turn the power off, unplug the power cord and
allow the unit to cool down before performing any
service or maintenance.
Inspecting and aligning Drive parts
If the Drive frame does not move smoothly, or during a
Motor replacement, inspect and align the drive parts as
follows:
1. turn the Rocker switch (Power On/Off) to Off
and unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the right and left side Panel covers.
3. Place a straightedge on the outside surface of
the Pivot arm and Motor arm (figure 5). there
should be no gap between the Motor arm and the
straightedge.
4. to remove any gap, loosen the setscrews on the
Pivot arm and Motor arm (figure 4).
5. tighten the Pivot arm setscrew. allow 3/32” (2.5
mm) of in/out motion on the crossover shaft/arm
when tightening the setscrew. this will compen-
sate for heat expansion in the parts.
CautIOn
failure to allow room for drive parts expansion
can cause binding during operation and may
cause early motor failure.
6. Place the straightedge on the outer surface of the
Pivot arm and Motor arm. Position the Motor arm
until no gap exists as shown in figure 5.
7. tighten the Motor arm setscrew.
nOte: be sure setscrews are resting on the flat
surface of the shafts when tightening.
8. If the Drive frame still does not move freely, loos-
en setscrew and remove the Motor arm (figure 4)
from the Motor shaft.
grasp both slide bracket Pins (figure 4) and
move them back and forth to try and determine
the source of the bind. It may be necessary to
adjust the height of the slide bracket (figure 4).
Inspect the Drive Rollers, bearings, and Retaining
Rings for wear and replace if necessary.
nOte: If any of the Drive parts are replaced, repeat
steps 1-8.
9. Reinstall the right and left side Panel covers.
