SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL

The model 6115 Peeler is designed to peel 15 to 20 lb (7.0 to 9.0 kg) of product in 1 to 3 minutes using

/3 HP electric motor. The 6115 includes a 4-minute, synchronous timer which increments from 1/2 to 4

minutes and is a single-phase electrical service ONLY. The peelers incorporate a reinforced peeling disc with abrasive permanently bonded to its surface and

a Lexan Liner for the inside of the hopper. The timer is mounted on the right side of discharge chute as standard but can be ordered on the left or changed in the field. The bottom of peeler unit is cushioned with a rubber trim molding which also provides a seal.

Optional accessories include a peel trap, a portable stand and a peel trap basket.

INSTALLATION

Immediately after unpacking, the machine should be checked for possible damage. If the machine is found to be damaged after unpacking, save the packing material and contact the shipper.

This machine MUST be cleaned after installation and before being put into service. Refer to MAINTENANCE for instructions.

PEELER UNIT (WITHOUT PEEL TRAP)

Remove the peeler unit from its shipping carton and remove the hopper top (Fig. 1). Remove the fill tube and bracket assembly (Fig. 1), as well as the fill hose (Fig. 1) and clamp, from inside the peeler housing. DO NOT remove the rubber molding on bottom of peeler.

Lay the peeler on its side and remove the bottom cover plate (Fig. 1) by removing the four screws. Remove the corrugated packing material from between the motor and peeler housing. Replace the bottom cover and set the machine upright.

The four acorn nuts (Fig. 1), for attaching the fill tube and bracket assembly, are threaded onto their studs for shipment. Remove the four acorn nuts, leaving the gasket in place, and attach the fill tube and bracket assembly.

Use pliers to depress the fill hose clamp and slide fill hose up onto the bottom of the fill tube. If the optional portable stand is to be used, position peeler on top of stand and fasten it with the four

bolts (supplied). This completes installation for units without peel trap.

Set the peeler upside-down and, using a pair of pliers, squeeze the hose clip and remove the peeler drain hose (Fig. 1). Replace this hose with the drain hose packed inside the peel trap.

The peeler may be positioned on the peel trap in one of four positions. Each of the positions will cause the peel trap drawer to be located in a different position relative to the discharge chute.

The peel trap drawer may be directly beneath the discharge chute, to the right, left or rear (see Fig. 5). After selecting the most convenient position for the peel trap drawer, remove the cover disc from the

appropriate hole in peel trap and position the peeler on top of the peel trap, with the peeler drain hose extending through selected hole (Fig. 5).
