INTRODUCTION

VS2000 into service.

INSPECTION

The VS2000 drive assembly has been inspected and tested at the factory; however, it should be

externally inspected and electrically checked prior to use. The electrical data listed on the nameplate

should be the same as the user's electrical supply. Any damage should be reported to the carrier immediately, and any shortage or deviation of parts to UNIVEX Corp.

SAFETY

The user should read and understand the V52000 and the attachment instructions prior to operation.

First time operators should be properly trained in safety precautions and in the proper use and servicing

of this equìpment and attachments.

Switch the power "OFF" and disconnect the electrical supply before mounting or disengaging an attachment, or for cleaning and servicing the equipment. Before, connecting unit to power source it should also be in the "OFF" position.

- Never insert hands Into the hopper.

- Never Insert any utensil Into the hopper.

Note that the front housing of the VS9 has a feed hopper [Fig. 2 (2)]. It is also equipped with a feed plate [Fig. 2 (8)]. Food tobe processed must always be fed to cutting surfaces by way of the hopper, and compressed against cutting surfaces with the feed plate. Never try to feed product to

cuttìng surfaces with your hands or any other way!

If during operation of a product jam occurs, immediately turn off and disconnect the electrical

supply to the power source equipment. Make sure rotation has stopped. Unlatch the VS9's front

housing, swing it toward you, and then clear the obstruction. Do not try to clear obstructions

while the V59 is under power, and again, never insert fingers or utensìls into the hopper!

Wear protective gloves whenever handling the VS9's knives, cutting plates, or cutting assemblies.

They are very sharp and can cut you. For safety, wash knives and cutting plates with a long

handled scrub brush.

When assembling or disassembling the VS9, make sure it rests on a stable working surface.

Never rest knives, cutting plates, or cutting assemblies on surfaces that could be marred.

Before assembling the VS9 and mounting it to power source equipment, make sure that a comfortable working clearance has been provided around the machinery. Always install the

machinery where it will save the operator steps.

Before assembling the VS9 and mounting ìt to power source equipment, or dismounting the VS9

after use, disconnect or lockout the electrical supply to the power source equipment. This will

prevent any chance of accidental startup.

Before mounting the VS9 to power source equipment, make sure the front housing [Fig. 2 (8)] is

securely latched to the rear housing [Fig. 2 (9), (10), (11)].

The thumb screw [Fig. 1(22)] should be firmly snugged immediately after mounting the VS9 to secure the VS9 in place. Do not operate the VS9 if there is no

power takeoff hub.

Never hose down a VS9 mounted to power source equipment. Hosing down a mounted VS9

invites electrical shock.

With the VS9 resting on a stable working surface, unlatch the front housing [Figure 2 (8)] and swing it

toward you. Lift the assembled plate unit and insert it into the rear housing [Figure 2 (10)].

Lift the

shaft lock pin [Figure 2 (19)] and seat the plate unit with a gentle twist. Make sure that the thrust

bearing on the shafi has carried fully into place, and that the square milled end of the shaft has fully
