UN1VEX VS2000 HIGH VOLUME VEGETABLE SLICER/SHREDDER
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
The UNIVEX VS2000 HIGH VOLUME VEGETABLE SLICER/SHREDDER is a I HP
portable electric unit consisting of a poiy "V" belt assembly with a No. 12 drive hub operating at 700
rpm. It is designed to support and power the UNI VEX VS9 Vegetable slicer, and the VS9H Shredder
and Grater food processing attachments.
This manual contains instructions for the inspection, installation, safe operation, care, and maintenance
of the VS2000 Vegetable Slicer/Shredder.
instructions are included. A trouble shooting guide is provided. A complete replacement parts list with
Disassembly, repair, replacement, and reassembly
identifying figure diagrams is included to aid in identification and ordering of replacement parts.
Please review this manual carefully - particularly all safety precautions - before trying to put the
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.

VS2000
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

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
The VS2000 should be setup in an area that is convenient for operation, and has
for safety. Before installing the VS9 attachment, make sure the PTO adapter [Fig. 1 (24)]
installed on the drive shaft. The vegetable slicer should be attached with a twisting motion

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
cleared the rear hub [Figure 2 (15)]. Release the shaft lock pin, then close and securely latch the front

TO PROCESS:
Reconnect the electrical supply to the power source equipment, turn the VS2000, on.
Lift the feed plate to expose the plate unit, and drop product into the feed hopper. Keep hands clear.
With your hand holding the feed plate grip, gently compress product against the rotating plate unit.
If you experience problems in processing, shut down the power source equipment and refer to the
Trouble Shooting Guide on Page 9, and the safety precautions paragraph.
DISMOUNTING AND DISASSEMBLY
FOR CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
DISMOUNTING
To dismount the VS9, simply follow the mounting instructions on Page 5 in reverse order. Set the VS9
on a stable working surface.
DISASSEMBLY
To disassemble the VS9 for cleaning or maintenance:
Unlatch the front housing and swing it toward you.
Lift the feed plate up and urge it to the left until it pivots off the front housing and set it aside.
Lift the front housing from its pivot holes and set it aside.
To disassemble the plate units, follow the assembly instructions on Pages 4-6 in reverse order.
Set the components aside.
CLEANING
To avoid
damaging the VS9's highly polished fmìsh, never put any VS9 component through a
dishwashing machine. Wearing hand protection, wash all components by hand with a mild soap and
water solution. Use a long handled scrub brush on all plate units to avoid finger cuts. Again, do not
rest knives or shredding plates on any surface which will mar. Do not remove thrust bearings from
Shredder plate shafts. Dry component parts with a soft dry rag.
For the best and most sanitary product, clean the VS9 immediately after use of before switching food
products.

MECHANICS MAINTENANCE
Before trying to maintenance the VS9, review the safety precautions paragraph carefully, and read all
assembly-disassembly instructions on Pages 2-6. Wear gloves when handling plate units.
Since the VS9 contains no internal power source, most problems can be immediately traced to improper
assembly, improper adjustment or worn parts. The Trouble Shooting Guide on Page 9 lists the most
common problems and corrective measures.
