UNCRATING AND SET UP
1. Read this Manual thoroughly before installation and operation. Do not proceed with installation and operation if
you have any questions or do not understand anything in this Manual. Contact your local Distributor, or BIRO
first.
2. Remove all banding, shipping carton, and all equipment from inside the tub. Then take machine off shipping
pallet.
3. Install machine on a level, non-skid surface in a well-lighted work area away from children and visitors.
4. This machine is complete except for knife and plate. There is a bowl shipping plug (stamped steel) placed in the
output end of the grinding bowl to retain the grinding auger during shipment. REMOVE THE BOWL SHIPPING
PLUG AND THE GRINDING AUGER.
5. After checking and making sure the power supply is correct, plug in your machine. NEVER OPERATE
MACHINE WITH PRODUCT MIXER SAFETY COVER OPEN OR HOPPER REMOVED. (Machine will not run
with cover open or hopper removed.)
6. Machine must be properly grounded. Use qualified electrician to install according to local building codes.

MOTOR WIRING AND ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
1. Interchange of motor current is made in motor outlet box. Leads are properly marked. Changing instructions
are on the motor plate or inside junction box cover.
2. All grinders 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. Connect leads to machine in a manner that will be approved by local electrical inspectors.
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 feeder line, 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 mixer-grinder/chopper is a MINIMUM OFNo. 12 WIRE.
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).

10. The start stop switch and the grind engage lever are located on the right side of the machine when facing the
grinding bowl. The start stop switch will activate the mixer paddles. The start stop switch will also activate the
grinding auger only when the grind lever is in the "engaged" position. To deactivate the grinding operation move
the grind lever to the "disengaged" position. The tank and hopper cover interlock switches are located in the
motor compartment. When the safety cover is raised the machine will stop operation.
11. Turn the toggle hand/foot selector switch to the hand position and engage the grind lever to activate the grinding
auger. Push the green start button. CHECK THE ROTATION OF THE AUGER DRIVE SHAFT; ROTATION
MUST BE COUNTER-CLOCKWISE as indicated by the rotation decal affixed to the grinding bowl.
12. If machine runs clockwise (backwards), it must be rewired to correct rotation, otherwise serious irreparable
damage may occur to the grinding components.
13. Check operation of optional footswitch provided as needed. Plug footswitch cord into fitting located on the same
side as the operation controls. Move toggle selector to foot. The machine will operate with pressure on the
footswitch treadle. Releasing the treadle stops the machine. The footswitch operates the mix and grind
together.
14. Insert auger assembly into grinding bowl, place knife (sharp edges out) onto the square end of the auger
assembly. The breaker plate slides over the worm knife drive pin, and is held from rotating by pins in the grinder
bowl. Install the retaining ring.
ONLY HAND TIGHTEN RETAINING RING
For best results, use knife and plate as a set. Do not operate machine
for any period of time without product in the grinding bowl. This will
cause heating and dulling of the knife and plate.
15. Check placement of all warning labels and be sure anyone who is to operate this MINI-32 MIXER GRINDER has
read and fully understands the operators manual. Machine is now ready for trained operators to process
product.
16. Use meat deflector attached to grinding bowl to eliminate meat splatter.
17. Contact your local distributor if you have any questions or problems with the installation or operation of this
machine.

DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
PADDLE REMOVAL:
Remove mixing paddle by first locating and lifting up on the hopper lock down clamps releas
ing them from the hopper.Next loosen the paddle lock knob (black knob located at the
front of the hopper). Then turn the locking lever clockwise approximately ¼ turn and remove
to unlock the paddle shaft from the hopper. Slide paddle shaft toward front of hopper and
lift drive end up and out to remove paddle.
PADDLE INSTALLATION:
Install paddle shaft by first connecting the driven end of the paddle shaft to the driver hub.
Insert the locking lever and tighten the paddle lock knob.
HOPPER REMOVAL:
After the paddle shaft has been removed, be sure the hopper lock down clamps have been
lifted and lock down rods extracted from the hopper anchor releasing them from the hopper.
The hopper is now ready for removal.
HOPPER INSTALLATION:
Place the hopper on top of the grinding bowl assembly with the lock arm retainer facing toward the front of the machine. Connect the hopper lock down rods to the hopper anchors
and lower the lock down handles to lock the hopper in place.
-
AUGER ASSEMBLY REMOVAL:
Loosen the retaining ring and remove knife and plate. Now the auger can be pulled out from
grinding bowl.
GRINDING BOWL ASSEMBLY REMOVAL:
After the paddle shaft, hopper, retaining ring and auger assembly have been extracted, the
grinding bowl can be removed by lifting the output end of the assembly and pushing toward
the cabinet. Next lift the bowl lock hooks and separate the bowl assembly from the machine.

MAINTENANCE
ROTATING GRINDING AUGER &
ROTATING MIXING PADDLE
TO AVOID SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY
ALWAYS Turn Off, Unplug From Power Source and Perform Lockout/Tagout Procedure to 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.
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 asis 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.
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. The
lubricant should be of a viscosity whereby it will “flow” somewhat and penetrate the internal working surfaces.
Thick 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.
