Cleaning______
IMPORTANCE OF DAILY CLEANING DAILY CLEANING PROCEDURES
Stainless steel and manganese aluнminum bronze parts will corrode if salty and acidic product juices are not removed completely. Also, product that remains in the cutting unit may harden making future cleaning difficult and encouraging bacterial growth. Heavy product build-up on cutting parts can reduce cutting efficiency and cause the loss of critical tolerances and clearances.
CLEANING AGENTS
The selection of cleaning agents or their solution strength will depend on the appliнcation or process in which the machine is involved. Consult your cleaning materials supplier for selecting and using the proper cleaning agent to meet the sanitizing requirements for your process. Cleaning supplies should be suitable for use with 300 and 400 series stainless steel and manganese aluminum bronze alloy. Excessive solution strength and soaking time or excessive soaking time alone may chemically harm or destroy these and other materials. Solutions containing chloнrine or acids can also be harmful. Failure to completely remove these chemicals with an appropriate rinse will cause corroнsion.
Only qualified trained personnel should clean the machine. Consult your company policy regarding proper cleaning/sanitizing solutions and required frequency of cleaning.
NOTE: Never use abrasives, metal tools, wire brushes or sandpaper to clean any parts. Scrape with wooden or plastic tools if necessary.
1.                                      Clean outside of machine with water.
NOTE: Do not direct a stream of water at the starter enclosure or electrical conнnections. Water entering the starter encloнsure could cause electrical failure and void the warranty.
2.                                        Flush product from cutting parts.
Direct a stream of water or cleaning solution into feed opening while machine is running.
A WARNING: Make certain that all covers and guards are in place while machine is running! Maintain a safe distance from machine. Do not insert hose or cleaning tools into feed opening!

Cutting Unit____
DISASSEMBLY
A WARNING: Cutting head contains sharp knives! Use extreme caution when handling cutting parts or perнsonal injury can occur.
The cutting unit consists of the cutting head assembly, impeller and cutting head support. To disassemble, refer to Figure 22 and proceed as follows:
1.                                        Disconnect and lock out power source. After machine has come to a complete stop, press the "I" (START) button to verify machine will not start. Rotate feed hopper into maintenance position, then remove upper and lower discharge chutes.
2.                                        Remove cutting head. Grasp firmly with both hands and lift straight up. Some cutting heads are held to the support by two hold down screws through opposite shoes (Figure 23). Remove these screws first. Always store the cutting head upside down on a soft surface, never on the dowel pins.
NOTE: DO NOT use the aluminum shipping plate for storage purposes. Elecнtrolytic action between aluminum plate and shoes may cause serious corrosion. Mount cutting head on this plate for protection if it is being returned to factory for repairs.
3.                                       Remove impeller. Unfasten the three screws in bottom plate and lift from impeller shaft.
4.                                        Remove cutting head support from gear case by unfastening the eight (8) screws. Cutting head support does not need to be removed to inspect dowel pin holes. See "Inspection", which follows.

MAINTENANCE
_____Cutting Unit
Impeller: When impeller paddles have worn to a point where cutting quality is unacceptable, replace impeller or paddles. Bolted in paddles on standard stainless steel impellers can be reversed or flipped to make use of all four edges. When outside diameter on the impeller's top plate has worn to a sharp edge, impeller must be replaced.
Cutting head support: If holes for dowel pins are worn to .255" (6.477 mm) diameter or more, shoes will move out of proper position, causing a poor quality cut. Check hole size using pin gauge supplied with machine, (see "Tools", page 73). If pin goes into hole past the chamfer, cutting head support should be returned to the factory for repair, or replaced. Check top surface for flatness and any raised areas. Return to factory for repair or replace.
REASSEMBLY
1.                                        Make sure all mating surfaces are clean and free of burrs.
2.                                        Install cutting head support. Place support on gear case and fasten with the eight (8) screws. Use Permatex® Aviation Form-A-Gasket® sealant on the screws to keep water out of gear case.
3.                                        Install impeller. Carefully place impeller on impeller shaft dowel pin, aligning the three screw holes. Install lightly greased (food grade) screws and tighten.
4.                                        Install cutting head. Carefully lower head onto support. Slowly rotate head clockwise until dowel pins drop into holes. If there is any free movement of

MAINTENANCE
Cutting Heads
Top support ring: Clean mating surface; hone off any burrs. If holes for pivot pins are worn to .252" (6.401 mm) diameter or more, ring should be replaced. Measure with standard "small-hole" gauge and micrometer. If ring has been dropped or you suspect damage, return ring to factory for inspection.
Knife clamps: Clean with water and a stiff bristle brush. Check for straightness with steel ruler along inner surface of clamp. Compare clamps with profile of an unused clamp.
Gate insert strip: Check for wear. This part can be turned or reversed on certain shoes, see "Reassembly", page 46.
Knife holders: Clean with water and a stiff bristle brush. Check for straightness with steel ruler along inner surface of holder. Compare holders with profile of an unused holder. If knife holder is badly nicked, replace it. Do not attempt repair.
Shoes: Clean mating surfaces and hone off any burrs. Inspect dowel pins for wear, replacing only when absolutely necнessary. When installing new pins, the .125" or .250" dowel pin gauge block (see "Tools", page 73) should be used either alone or in combination with the shredding shoe spacer to measure proper pin extension (Figure 27). Shoes with loose pins should be replaced.
Check for shoe wear by placing a steel ruler on the inner surface of the shoe from top to bottom. If the gap at the mid point of the ruler is .002" (.051 mm) or greater, replace the shoe. If inner surface of shoe wears below knife holder or gate extension strip, shoes should be replaced. If there is a gap between slicing shoe and knife holder (or gate extension strip) measuring .002" (.051 mm) or greater, replace shoe.

ADJUSTMENTS
Slice Thickness Setting Gauge:
NOTE: Before adjusting slice thickнness, set slice thickness setting gauge with the setting block (Figure 31).
1.                                        Loosen locking screw. Turn adjusting screw so gauge moves up.
2.                                       Select proper setting block (see page 75). Hold setting block tightly against bottom of gauge so protruding step is under gauge tip.
3.                                      Turn adjusting screw until indicator needles point to zero, about 1/4 revoнlution.
4.                                      Tighten locking screw. If needle moves slightly off zero, loosen clamp screw and rotate dial to set zero to the needle, then retighten clamp screw. Do not overtighten clamp screw; overtight-ening can damage the dial.
5.                                        Remove and reposition setting block several times to make sure the zero setting has been obtained.
If desired slice thickness is slightly differнent than the setting block, follow this example: to set a slice thickness of .062" using a .060" setting block, loosen clamp screw. Move dial .002" to the right. For .058" move dial .002" to the left. Retighten clamp screw.

Crescent and modified "V" shreds are obtained by setting the shred thickness at less than standard size. Setting blocks for shredding have steps for the more common sizes.
NOTE: Actual thickness of cut may vary depending on size, density and type of product, and on impeller speed. Further adjustment may be necessary to achieve a precise thickness.
Slice Thickness:
1. Place cutting head assembly upside down and extending a safe distance beyond edge of work surface. Mark one slicing shoe as starting point. Loosen screws holding shoes just enough to allow shoe to move when making slice thickness adjustment.

MAINTENANCE
Cutting Heads
2. Position pre-set slice thickness setting gauge flat against shoe as shown in Figure 32. (See "Adjustments", previous page to set gauge.) Adapter blocks are used between the gauge and the ring on some shredding shoes (Figure 33). Adapter blocks serve to keep the gauge tip-on the peak of the knife corrugation. Slide gauge forward until gauge tip rests on knife edge. Adapter blocks and dowel pin gauges used below are listed on page 73.
Slicing, strip cutting and full shred (.070) heads Ч place gauge directly on support ring.
Full shred (.097) heads Ч Use the 22834 .125 dowel pin gauge block between support ring and gauge when measuring to a knife on a shoe with spacers.
Oval and full shred (.125) heads Ч place the 22133 adapter block between support ring and gauge when measuring to a knife on a shoe with spacers.
Wide oval heads Ч place the 22133 adapter block between support ring and gauge when measuring to a knife on an offset shoe (shoe with most corrugations). Use 22133 adapter block and 22835 .250 dowel pin gauge block together between support ring and gauge when measuring to a knife on a shoe with least corrugations.
3.                                     Turn adjusting screw on cutting head
until the indicator needle comes up to zero. Adjustment to zero should always be on the way in with the screw. If dial goes past zero, back screw out and start over.
4.                                        Rotate head one shoe counterclockнwise and repeat procedure.
5.                                     Adjust three or four shoes past startнing point to cancel out any accumuнlated error.

6.                                     Tighten screws that hold shoes to
80-90 inch pounds (9.04-10.17 newton-meters).
7.                                        Recheck with gauge to be sure that tightening the screws did not change the setting.
8.                                       Install cutting head, replace lower and upper discharge chutes and rotate feed hopper into position (see "Reassembly", page 43). Cut a small amount of product as a test and measure the samples. If measurement varies from the desired result, adjust setting gauge by the amount that samples were over or under and readjust cutting head.

Impeller Drive Assembly
REPAIR
NOTE: URSCHEL LABORATORIES URGES ALL CUSTOMERS TO RETURN IMPELLER DRIVE ASSEMBLIES IN NEED OF REPAIR TO THE FACTORY FOR THESE REASONS:
1.                                       Our repair department is equipped with fixtures and equipment specially built for this purpose. Reassembly is done in a special "Clean Room" to minimize dust and dirt contamination.
2.                                        Further damage can occur if the disasнsembly procedure is not done correctly. This is costly to the customer.
3.                                         Potentially reusable parts must be examined and measured to less than a thousandth of an inch. A well-equipped machine shop and skilled personnel must be available to do this correctly. If this is not done, the repair will not be successful and the impeller drive assembly will fail again.
4.                                       Our personnel use their knowledge and experience to not only repair, but also determine when possible the cause for failure. The customer can then make the adjustments in operation to avoid future problems. "Down time" is minimized and repair costs will be less.
5. Exchange Program: Because the complete impeller drive assembly is a costly item, many customers choose not to keep a spare unit in stock. In order to minimize down time without having to bear the cost of a new assembly, Urschel Laboratories offers an exchange program. A supply of rebuilt impeller drive assemblies are kept on hand at all times to be shipped within hours of customer's request. The cost of an exchange assembly is based on parts and labor required to restore the customer's returned assembly to acceptable rebuilt condition. For further information contact the service department at Urschel Laboratories (219-464-4811).
NOTE: Exchange program is available in the U.S.A. and Canada only.
If your maintenance department has the skill and equipment and your company wishes to repair impeller drive assemblies, detailed instructions can be found on pages 54-60. Removal and installation instrucнtions are on pages 51-52.
