This Machine BEFORE Servicing.

� NEVER Touch This Machine Without Training and Authorization By Your Supervisor.

� NEVER Place Hands Into Machine Input or Output Openings.

� NEVER Bypass, Alter, or Modify This Equipment in Any Way From Its Original Condition.

� PROMPTLY REPLACE Any Worn or Illegible Warning Labels.

� USE ONLY GENUINE BIRO Parts and accessories Properly Installed.

A. GRINDING BOWL INSTALLATION

1. Mount the grinding bowl on the two threaded studs on the front of the machine. Tighten in position with provided nuts.

2. Place the grinding auger in the grinding bowl and fully seat rear drive tang into auger drive shaft.

3. Install knife, breaker plate and end retaining ring.

ONLY HAND TIGHTEN RETAINING RING

4. When the bowl assembly is mounted and tight, there should be approximately

" gap between the back

inside wall of the grinding trough and the back of the auger. The bowl ring wrench which is provided with each grinder is used only for REMOVAL of the end retaining ring for cleaning purposes or for changing knife and breaker plate.

B. LUBRICATION

1. MOTOR: The grinder motor has pre-lubricated motor bearings. These bearings should be re-lubricated annually with a good grade of bearing grease. Do not over-grease.

2. ROLLER CHAIN AND DRIVE SPROCKETS: The main drive chain has been pre-lubricated at the factory to protect it against dirt and moisture. Chain life will vary appreciably depending upon its lubrication. The better the lubrication, the longer the chain life.

Lubrication effectiveness will vary with the amount of lubricant and frequency of application. Ideally, a lubricant film should always be present between the working parts. Manually lubricate the chain as often as is needed (possibly once a week). NEVER exceed three months without lubricating.

Lubricating just the outside of the chain does little good. Apply lubrication on the inside of the chain span so that it will work through the moving parts and joints by centrifugal force as the chain rotates and reaches the area where one surface “scrubs” another.

B. LUBRICATION (cont.)

Recommended types of chain lubricant are those with Molybdenum Disulphide or Graphite added. Also bonded lubricants such as Dow Corning Molykote 321R or equivalent are excellent for open chains. e lubricant should be of a viscosity whereby it will “ﬂow” somewhat and penetrate the internal working surfaces. ick stiﬀ greases are of little value because they cannot work into moving parts of the chain. a. Unplug mixer/grinder from power source and perform lockout/tagout procedures. b. Remove rear drive or access cover. c. Spray or brush lubricant on inside of chain, slowly and carefully turning the large sprocket by hand. d. Reinstall rear drive cover.

3. BEARING HOUSING: e main bearings are housed in an enclosed and sealed journal box. Re-lubricate semi-annually with a good grade of bearing grease. Do not over-grease.

4. MIXER TRANSMISSION: Oil in the mixer transmission should be changed after the ﬁrst four (4) weeks of operation. is is to remove the “run-in” oil and also any small metal shavings that may have been generated during the mating of the gears. After the initial oil change, subsequent changes should be performed every six (6) months. After draining the oil, reﬁll the unit to the “level” plug on the back side of the transmission with pertoleum-based #8 gear oil.

5. PROCEDURE FOR REPLACING OIL IN WINSMITH MIXER TRANSMISSION: a. Unplug mixer grinder from power source and perform lockout/tagout procedures. b. Remove rear drive or access cover. c. Remove breather plug from top of transmission and oil level plug from back side of transmission. d. With a container in place to catch old oil, remove the drain plug from the bottom of the transmission. e. When all oil has drained, clean the drain plug and replace in the transmission. f. Reﬁll transmission with pertoleum-based #8 gear oil or equivalent until oil appears at bottom of oil level hole. For applications that involve severe ambient temperature extremes, Winsmith recommends the use of Synthetic Lubricant such as: Texaco Vanguard 460, Mobile SHC 630, and Mobile SHC 634. ese gear reducers contain 0.9 QT. of lubricant g. Replace breather and oil level plugs. h. Reinstall rear drive or access cover.

C. MIXER DRIVE CHAIN TENSION

1. Unplug mixer/grinder from power source and perform lockout/tagout procedures.

2. Remove rear drive cover or access cover.

3. Loosen the four bolts holding the ¾HP motor and transmission to its mounting plate.

4. Slide transmission to the right.

5. When approximately 1/8” total chain ﬂex has been attained, retighten transmission bolts.

6. Reinstall rear drive cover or access cover.

D. MAIN DRIVE CHAIN TENSION

1. Unplug mixer/grinder from power source and perform lockout/tagout procedure.

2. Remove rear drive cover or access cover.

3. Loosen the four bolts that hold the motor to the frame of the machine.

4. Loosen the lock nuts on the motor adjusting stud. 5 . To Loosen Chain Tension. turn motor adjusting studs counterclockwise. Grasp motor and pull toward adjusting stud. Be sure to turn both adjusting studs the same amount and evenly. Total chain ﬂex should be 1/8“ to 3/8“. Be sure to keep motor shaft parallel with auger drive shaft. To Tighten Chain Tension. Turn motor adjusting studs clockwise. Be sure to turn both adjusting studs the same amount and evenly. Total chain ﬂex should be 1/8“ to 3/8“. Do not overtighten chain as this will put excessive and damaging pressure on the motor bearings. Be sure to keep motor shaft parallel with auger drive shaft.

6. Retighten motor mounting bolts.

7. Retighten motor adjusting stud lock nuts.

8. Reinstall the rear drive cover or access cover.
