14. When machine is operating in proper direction, replace rear motor cover. Machine is now ready for trained
operators to process product.

MOTOR WIRING AND ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

(1) Interchange of current is made in motor outlet box. Leads are properly marked. Changing instructions are on

the motor plate or motor outlet box.

(2) All chippers are wired 220 volts unless otherwise specified. Be sure motor specifications (voltage, cycle, phase)

match power supply line. Be sure line voltage is up to specification.

(3) Electrical connections to be in accordance with safety codes and National Electrical Code.

(4) Rated voltage of the unit shall be identical with full supply voltage.

(5) Voltage drop on the supply line shall not exceed 10% of full supply voltage.

(6) The feederline conductor size in the raceway from the branch circuit to the unit must be correct to assure

adequate voltage under heavy starting and short overload conditions.

(7) The feederline conductor shall only be used for the supply of one unit of the relevant horsepower. For

connections of more than one unit on the same feederline, a local electrician will have to be consulted to
determine the proper conductor size.

(8) The size of the electrical wiring required from the power source to the frozen block chipper is a MINIMUM OF

No. 10 WIRE if the distance from the machine to electrical box is 25 feet or less. Over 25 feet a MINIMUM OF
No. 8 WIRE is to be used.

(9) The BIRO Manufacturing Company is not responsible for permanent wiring, connection or installation.

NOTE TO OWNER AND ELECTRICIAN: IF THIS MACHINE IS NOT CORD
AND PLUG CONNECTED TO THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY SOURCE, THEN IT
SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH, OR CONNECTED TO, A LOCKABLE,
MANUALLY-OPERATED DISCONNECT SWITCH (OSHA 1010.147).

OPERATION

MOVING SHUTTLE WITH SHARP CHIPPING BLADES

TO AVOID SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY

· ONLY Properly Trained Personnel Should Use This Equipment.

· ALWAYS Keep Hands Clear of Sharp Chipping Blades and Other Moving Parts.

· NEVER Operate With Product Chute Cover in the Open Position.

· DO NOT Tamper With or Remove Product Chute Cover.

· ALWAYS Close Product Chute Cover Completely Before Operating Machine.

· DO NOT Tamper With, Bypass, Alter, or Modify This Equipment in Any Way From Its Original

Condition.

· ALWAYS Turn Off, Unplug from Power Source and Perform Lockout/Tagout Procedure to This

Machine Before Cleaning or Servicing, or When Not in Use.

· NEVER Leave Unattended While Operating.

· NEVER Operate Without All Warnings Attached.

A. TO PROCESS PRODUCT

1. Place Meat Lug under machine to catch chipped product.

2. Prepare for processing a 60 pound tempered meat block. For optimum chipping the recommended block
temperature is 15 to 25 degrees F. With a maximum block size of 8"´16
product chips approx. 3
Plate (Item No. 51526).

3. Lift the Chute Cover slightly to release the Chute Support. Close the chute cover completely. The magnet
attached to the chute must contact the safety switch. The machine will not operate with the Chute Cover in
the open position.

4. Push the green “START” button. When the machine is finished chipping, which should be approx. 60
seconds, push the red “STOP” button. Unplug machine from power source and perform lockout/tagout
procedures.

5. Remove meat lug from under machine. Product is now ready for grinding or mixing/grinding.

Gear Reducer (Grove) using the four

7

-14´1¾ bolts and lock washers.

16

B. Mount the Gear Reducer and Mounting Plate combination to the machine frame and tighten the four ½-13

bolts. Remove the factory plug and replace with the plastic vented plug in the filler plug hole shown in the
drawing.

C. Reinstall the Motor into the Gear Reducer. Be sure the Motor Key is properly in place, Tighten the Motor

Bolts.

D. Reinstall the Motor wires and conduit. Reattach the wires. Taking care that the Motor wiring diagram is

followed for proper voltage.

E. Being aware of location of all other personnel while the Motor is being tested for proper rotation, plug the

machine into power source. Push the start button and note rotation of Gear Reducer output shaft. It should
rotate counterclockwise when viewing from shaft side. If not, interchange two lead wires. Unplug the
machine from power source for final installations.

F. Reinstall the Item No. 51387 Crank and Crank Key. Tighten the Item No. 1161 Allen Screw.

G. Reinstall the Item No. 51384 Pitman Arm using the Item No. 51054 Crank Pin and Item No. 16501WB

Thrust Washer. If the Crank and Pitman Arm do not line up, move the Pitman Arm by sliding the Slide
Assembly forward or backward until alignment is achieved.

H. Reinstall the Item No. 50757 Drive Cover.

I. Reinstall the Item No. 50690 Drive Cover.

J. Reinstall the Item No. 51575 Drive Cover Door.

K. Plug machine into power source and check for proper operation.

LUBRICATION FOR GROVE GEAR REDUCER

1. Factory Filling

The speed reducers are oil filled at the factory to the proper level for the standard mounting position. The oil
level should be checked and adjusted (if necessary) prior to operation, using the oil level plug provided and
while the unit is oriented in its operating position.

2. Oil Changing

WHEN CHANGING OIL FOR ANY REASON,

DO NOT MIX DIFFERENT OILS IN THE REDUCER.

OILS SHOULD BE COMPATIBLE WITH

VITON®SEAL MATERIAL.

Therefore, when changing to a different oil, it is recommended that the housing be completely drained and
thoroughly flushed with a light flushing oil prior to refilling with the appropriate lubricant. The oil level should
be rechecked after a short period of operation and adjusted, if necessary.

OIL SHOULD BE CHANGED MORE OFTEN IF THE

REDUCER IS USED IN A SEVERE ENVIRONMENT

(i.e., DUSTY, HUMID)

A. Initial Oil Change

The oil in a new speed reducer should be changed at the end of 250 hours of operation. (30 days for 8
hour per day service, 15 days for 16 hour service, 10 days for 24 hour service.)

All standard reducers ordered from the factory are filled with lubricant to operate within a 30° to 100°F
ambient temperature range.

B. Subsequent Oil Changes

Under normal conditions, after the initial oil change, the oil should be changed after every 2500 hours of
operation, or every six months, whichever occurs first. Under severe conditions (rapid temperature
changes, moist, dirty or corrosive environment) it may be necessary to change oil at intervals of one to
three months. Periodic examination of oil samples taken from the unit will help establish the appropriate
interval.

C. Synthetic Oils

Synthetic lubricants can be advantageous over mineral oils in that they generally are more stable, have a
longer life, and operate over a wider temperature range. These oils are appropriate for any application but
are especially useful when units are subjected to low start-up temperatures or high operating
temperatures. Use of synthetics can cause problems if they are not compatible with the seals or the
conventional lubricants they replace. For continuous duty at normal ambient temperatures (-10°F to
105°F) we recommend the use of Mobile SCH 634
shipped in our product and the Viton® seal material used through size 252.

3. Overfilling or Underfilling

If a speed reducer is overfilled with oil, the energy used in churning the excessive oil can result in overheating.
If this occurs, shut down the drive, remove the oil level plug and allow oil to drain until oil ceases to drain
from the level hole, reinstall the oil level plug and restart the drive. if the speed reducer is underfilled, the
resultant friction can cause overheating and possible damage. If this occurs, fill the speed reducer to the oil
level plug hole and check the gearing for excessive wear. NOTE: Oil capacity is 1¾ pints.

4. Oil Seals

Although the speed reducer uses high quality oil seals and precision ground shafts to provide a superior seal
contact surface, it is possible that circumstances beyond the speed reducer's control can cause oil seal
leakage (damage during shipment or installation, etc.). When replacing a shaft oil seal, using the following
suggestions will help to insure leak-free operation and long seal life.

A. When installing a new seal, cover the keyway and any other surface discontinuity with smooth tape to

protect the seal lip from being damaged.

B. A sealant should be used between the O.D. of the seal and the I.D. of the bore into which the seal is

installed. The seal bore should also be free of any burrs, nicks, or scratches.

which is compatible with the standard compounded oil

C. Be sure that the seal is not cocked in the seal bore. The outer face of the seal should be flush with the

surface into which it is mounted.
