General Information
The JBT Corporation Citrus Juicer is designed to provide years of dependable service. It
uses a unique patented design to extract every available amount of juice from the fruit with
the least amount of peel oil. The peel is completely separated from the juice and juice sacs
before being compressed and strained.
The machine will juice oranges, lemons, limes, tangerines, etc., without changing or
adjusting parts. In fact, different varieties of fruit can be juiced to create various fruit juice
blends.
Clean up is simple, requiring disassembly of only five parts. All waste material - peel,
membranes, and seeds - is collected for easy removal and disposal.
The Citrus Juicer is solidly built using heavy-duty components in all assemblies, including
the drive. It is simple to operate and uses a minimal number of parts.
ALWAYS follow cleaning and maintenance schedules in this manual to prevent equipment
damage.
For a quick introduction to the JBT Corporation Citrus Juicer, please review the diagram on
the next page.

Periodic Inspection by Service Technician
Perform the following steps after every 3-4 months.
1. Test all interlock switches.
The Citrus Juicer should stop automatically when juicing cover is opened. If juicer is a
counter top model, Citrus Juicer should stop when waste container is pulled out. If Citrus
Juicer continues to run when either is opened, the interlock switch is defective.
Stop the Citrus Juicer and replace immediately.
See Troubleshooting Section.
2. Check all fasteners for tightness.
Remove back cover with spanner (snake eyes) security tool.
Check especially on the Sprockets, Crank Arms, Fruit Lift and Hopper.
3. Check chain for tightness.
Refer to Figure 6a. and 6b.
Chain should have 1/4" maximum slack on top side. To adjust, loosen the two bolts
holding the chain take-up bracket to frame, pry bracket up to the correct adjustment.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN CHAIN.
4. Check chain and sprockets for rust.
If rust appears, coat chain and sprockets with a small amount of Teflon grease.
Figure 6a. Checking chain slack Figure 6b. Loosening bolts on chain take-up
bracket and prying up
20 FNS-0006-060-EN November 2017 Rev F
Adjust so that when arm is
at top of stroke, collar on cable engages slot
in disk at tangent point here. Hopper rotates
as shown on upstroke.
5. Grease Fittings
Refer to Figure 7.
Using a grease gun with a flexible hose, grease seven fittings with Super Lube®Teflon grease. Try
