INSTALLATION

After peeler has been removed from carton, remove cover, shipping spacer, water inlet
hose and any literature packed in the peeler. Place peeler on sink drainboard or any
suitable location. Be sure that drain outlet [Fig. 1 (6)] is located so that water and peelings
will discharge into sink.

Pull up into position water inlet tube (Fig. 1 [2]). Turn tube in holder allowing for easy
removal of cover.

Slip small end of flexible hose (Fig 1 [3]) over water inlet tube. Attach large end into cold
water faucet; close and latch discharge door [Fig. 1 [7])

CAUTION: Before making electrical connections, check the specifications on the

to flush away peelings.
To start peeler: Turn timer knob (Fig. 1 [5]) beyond desired time, then turn back to three

minute mark. This is the average time required to peel a 20 Ib load.
Insert potatoes or other vegetables through opening in cover (Fig. 1 [1]).

Timer (fig 1 [5]) will automatically stop unit. Inspect vegetables. If you are satisfied with
peeling, unlatch discharge door. Have receptacle ready to receive vegetables ­directly into sink. To eject the vegetables, start machine (by turning timer), hold door partly
open. Rotation of peeling disc will eject load. Timer may be turned off and on without
damage.

Peeling time will vary with the size, shape and condition of potatoes or vegetables. The
estimated capacity of 20 Ibs. is based on US Grade 1 potatoes. Unusually large or long

potatoes may require a slight reduction in load to obtain satisfactory results.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERLOAD. THERE SHOULD BE AT ALL TIMES ROOM IN THE

CLEANING

WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRIC POWER BEFORE CLEANING. Proper cleaning is

essential for insuring the long life of your UNIVEX peeler.
As soon as peeling is complete and before peeled particles dry and stick, remove cover

WARNING: DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER PRIOR TO PERFORMING

Maintenance is simple and has been kept to a minimum through modern engineering
design.

Lubricate two oil cups found at each end of motor (Fig. 3 [16]) with a few drops of light
motor oil SAE 10-20, or equivalent, twice a year or more often if peeler is subjected to
heavy use. Turn grease cap (Fig. 3 [10]) 1/4 turn weekly, when cap no longer turns,
remove cap and refill with grease.

To expose driving mechanism for lubrication or service, lay unit on side and remove
bottom cover (Fig. 2 [11]). On permanent installation, it will be necessary to first remove
peeler from base.

To replace "V" belts, (Fig. 3 [23]) release tension spring (Fig. 3 [17]) to loosen belts. Hold
motor in slack position and roll belts off the large pulley. (Fig. 3 [12])
install new belts. Do not use any metallic tools to force belts over pulleys. To do so will
greatly shorten belt life. Always install inner belt first.
