HOUSING OR BACK CASE
The housing or back case mounts into the attachment socket of a mixer, food cutter or
power drive unit and is retained by the pointed thumbscrew that goes through the attachment hole into the indentation on the neck of the machine.
DOOR OR HOPPER
The front door is a hopper and lever feed design. It hinges onto the back case and is held
closed with an adjustable latch. To remove the front door, lift the latch and swing the door
open while lifting it from the hinge holes.
PUSHER PLA
The pusher plate has an integrated handle to push the food into the rotating disc or slicer
knife. It has pins at both ends of the top and hinges into the front door. The pusher plate
has a rubber-tipped stop screw (XP1018) under the handle that can be adjusted to prevent
the plate from coming in contact with the plate or blade.

TO INSTALL SHREDDER OR GRATER DISCS
Stop the machine. Orient the plate with the cutting edge away from the shaft assembly. Locate the keyhole slots on the plate
and slide the wide part of the slots over the studs on the plate holder. When the plate is flush with the holder, rotate it clockwise to lock it in position. It is possible to loosely assemble the plate to the hub (sharp edge out), then place it on a work surface (the teeth on the plate will mar a finished table). Press down and turn the hub until plate locks into place.
"teeth" should face out on the holder. To detach the plate from the hub, reverse the installation procedure. A safe method is
to use protective gloves and press the palm of one hand against the plate to rotate it.
Note: The plates are slightly bent to provide holding pressure when in position.

SHREDDER PLATE
The coarse plates are normally used for making chopped slaw, cutting
vegetables for soup stock, salad blends or "hash brown" potatoes.
The medium and finer plates are for fine shredding of carrots, beets,
turnips, etc., and for salads. See our application chart at the end of
these instructions.
GRATER PLATE
The grater plate may be used for crumbling hard cheese or grating
hard vegetables.
TO INSTALL XPH PLATE HOLDER ASSEMBLY
Stop the machine. With door open, pull the locking pin XP1007 up and
insert XPH until the square end of the shaft fits snugly into the power
unit. Then release the locking pin to hold the XPH in proper position.
ADJUSTABLE SLICER PLATE ASSEMBLY
& INSTALLATION
Turn off and unplug the machine. Adjust the slicing thickness from
approximately 1/16" to 5/8" by turning the gray plastic adjusting nut
XP1022. Lift the silver locking pin XP1007 on the top of the rear of the
housing and open the front door and slide the slicer unit back into
operating position. The square end of the shaft may have to be manually rotated to seat into the machine socket properly. Secure the unit
to the machine by tightening the pointed thumbscrew in the hole on the
top side of the attachment hub. Attach the pusher plate XVSP and
close and latch the door XVSD before turning the machine on.
TO ADJUST THICKNESS OF SLICES
Stop the machine. While you can adjust the thickness of slices with
Adjustable Slicer Plate Assembly in position, by turning the gray plas-
Adjusting Knob XP1022, accessed through the opening in the rear
tic
housing, we recommend that you remove the Adjustable Slicer Plate
Assembly from the housing and turn the Adjusting Knob while carefully holding the plate.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
5. Close the slicer front door and fasten the latch.
6. Start the machine. Set at a speed to produce the best
product (see machine manual)
7. Raise the pusher plate lever.
8. Place the food to be sliced in the hopper and gently press
down on the pusher plate lever.
Note: Too much pressure crushes the food and causes
irregularity in the slices. Large items may have to
be cut down to fit into the hopper.
CLEANING
1. Stop the power unit (mixer, food cutter, power drive, etc.).
2. Release the latch and remove the front door.
3. Lift the locking pin and withdraw the shredding or slicing
unit from the housing.
4. The shredder and grater plates can be easily removed from
the plate hub by rotating plate counter-clockwise to release
the keyhole slot from the studs.
CAUTION: These plates are sharp and must be
handled with care.
5. All components of these attachments may be cleaned by HAND WASHING ONLY, using mild detergent in warm water.
These units are NOT DISHWASHER SAFE due to the corrosive nature of commercial detergents, which can discolor aluminum and turn it black. Rinse in hot, clear water and dry immediately
attachments before they dry
.
Note: Frequent lubrication with a USDA approved grease is necessary to prevent shaft seizing.
. It is important that juices be cleaned from the

cleaned frequently to assure easy thickness adjustment.
Adjustment
Nut
Thrust
Bearing
Occasionally disassemble the slicer plate for a thorough
cleaning. To do this it is necessary to unscrew the
knurled thrust bearing, which has a left hand thread, to
release the spring. Withdraw the knife and shaft assem-
Spring
bly. Unscrew the adjusting nut from the plate. Use a drop
of approved food machinery oil on the shaft and adjustment threads after cleaning.
Note: After cleaning, to prevent damage the thrust bearing must be tightened until sealed against shoulder on shaft.
Failure to properly reassemble can result in damage to knives, shaft and slicer plate. Do not clean any of these components in a dishwasher with strong detergents or chemicals. Use a USDA approved grease on the shaft for best operation.
CAUTION: Do not permit water or moisture to remain on or in the hub, shaft, or the rear opening in the hous-
ing. This condition will result in rusting which will eventually destroy the rear end components and shaft and
void the factory warranty.
KNIFE SHARPENING
Occasional touching up along the edges of the knife with a honing stone will keep cutting operations at peak performance.
PUSHER PLATE STOP
Frequently check that the pusher plate does not hit the grater plate holder or knife shaft assembly. The Pusher Plate Stop
XP1018 can be adjusted to avoid touching the internal moving parts. With proper care and maintenance, your Vegetable
Grater/Shredder/Slicer Attachment will provide you with many years of performance.
