MOTOR WIRING AND ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
(A) Interchange of current is made in motor outlet box. Leads are properly marked. Changing instructions are
on the motor plate or motor outlet box.
(B) 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.
(C) Electrical connections to be in accordance with safety codes and National Electrical Code.
(D) Rated voltage of the unit shall be identical with full supply voltage.
(E) Voltage drop on the supply line shall not exceed 10% of full supply voltage.
(F) 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.
(G) 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 be be consulted to
determine the proper conductor size.
(H) The size of the electrical wiring required from the power source to the grinder is a MINIMUM OF No. 10
WIRE.
(I) 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).
7. A toggle handle that activates the internal on/off switch is located on the side of the machine. The interlock
safety switch is mounted to the top of the internal switch and will break contact with the magnetic starter should
the tray be removed.
8. Turn the toggle handle to the “ON” position. CHECK THE ROTATION OF THE WORM DRIVE SHAFT;
ROTATION MUST BE COUNTER-CLOCKWISE as indicated by the rotation decal affixed to the grinding bowl.
ROTATION MUST ONLY BE CHECKED WITH THE GRINDING WORM REMOVED, otherwise serious irreparable
damage may occur to grinding components.
9. If machine runs clockwise (backwards), it must be rewired to correct rotation, otherwise serious irreparable
damage may occur to grinding components.
10. Insert worm assembly into grinding bowl, place knife (sharp edges out) onto the square end of the worm
assembly. The breaker plate slides over the worm knife drive pin, and is held from rotating by pins in the grinding
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.
11. Check placement of all warning labels and Manual. Machine is now ready for trained operators to process
product.

B. BEARING HOUSING LUBRICATION
1. Unplug grinder from power source and perform lockout/tagout procedures.
2. Unlatch tray, lift front slightly and slide toward back of machine. Lift tray from machine and set aside.
3. Unbolt case top cover and remove.
4. Check and relubricate with good grade of lithium bearing grease semi-annually.
5. Reinstall case top cover and bolt on tightly. Reinstall tray and latch securely.
C. ROLLER CHAIN AND DRIVE SPROCKET LUBRICATION
Chains should be protected against dirt and moisture. Chain life will vary appreciably depending upon lubrication.
The better the lubrication, the longer the chain life.
Lubrication effectiveness will vary with the amount of lubrication and frequency of application. Ideally, a lubricant
film should always be present between the working parts. Manually lubricate the chain after the 1st 6 weeks then ev
ery 6 months thereafter.
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 reach 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’s 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 lit
tle value because they cannot work into moving parts of the chain.
Symptoms of inadequate lubrication:
1. Excessive noise
2. Chain becomes stiff.
3. Chain runs hot.
4. Broken pins, bushings or rollers.
5. Excessive chain elongation — caused by wear on the pin outside diameter and bushing inside diameter.
Once a chain is elongated or worn past acceptable limits, jumping of sprocket teeth and/or improper
chain/sprocket mesh will occur.

LUBRICATING CHAIN AND SPROCKETS
1. Unplug grinder from power source and perform lockout/tagout procedures.
2. Unlatch tray, lift front slightly and slide toward back of machine. Lift tray from machine and set aside.
3. Unbolt case top cover and remove.
4. Spray or brush lubricant on inside of chain, slowly and carefully turning large sprocket by hand.
5. Reinstall case top cover and bolt on tightly. Reinstall tray and latch securely.
C. MAIN DRIVE CHAIN TENSION
1. Unplug grinder from power source and perform lockout/tagout procedures.
2. Remove feed tray.
3. Loosen motor mounting bolts.
4. Remove shims from under the motor. Important to remove same shims from back of motor as from the
front for proper sprocket alignment.

5. Total chain flex should be
wear or premature failure of motor and bearing box bearings.
6. Retighten all motor mounting bolts.
7. Reinstall feed tray.
