Manual Food Processing equiPMent
Safety PrecautionS
To ensure safe operation, read the following statements and
understand their meaning. This manual contains safety precautions
which are explained below. Please read carefully.
1. Before each use, always check for proper blade tightness by strumming
the dull side of the blade to identify a uniform vibration. If loose or broken
blades are found, blades must be serviced.
2. Place the slicer on a table or counter. Position the Tomato Pro Positive
Stop Pivot Arm over a table edge or sink edge to hold the equipment
securely.
WARNING
Warning is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that can cause
severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage if the
warning is ignored.
3. The equipment should always be used to slice tomatoes, mushrooms,
strawberries, etc. Hard foods such as onions, lemons, etc. will cause
blades to break.
4. Using the Tomato Pro Scooper to remove the stem scar from the tomato.
For best results, the tomatoes should be clean and wet before slicing
CAUTION
Caution is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will or can
cause minor personal injury or property damage if the caution is
ignored.
NOTE
Note is used to notify people of installation, operation, or
maintenance information that is important but not hazard-related.
For Your Safety!
These precautions should be followed at all times. Failure to follow
these precautions could result in injury to yourself and others or
damage the equipment.
To reduce risk of injury or damage to the equipment:
Check equipment before each use to insure the equipment is clean.
Check for broken, nicked or dull blades and if found, replace blade
them in the tomato equipment. Spray plastic platform and blades with
water to reduce friction.
5. Place the tomato (top down) on the platform of the slicer against the
pusher head and blade, scoring the tomato slightly. With a quick push of
the pusher head, push the tomato through the blades catching slices at
the rear of the blade assembly with your other hand.
6. Repeat this process until you have prepared enough tomatoes for your
daily needs.
7. If the equipment no longer slices tomatoes cleanly or without damage to
the tomatoes, the blades could be dull and be in need of replacement.
See the REPLACING BLADE ASSEMBLY section of this manual for
additional information.
8. The pusher head should slide smoothly through the blades without
interference with the blades. If an adjustment needs to be made, see the
ADJUSTMENT section of this manual for more information.
9. Clean and lubricate your equipment immediately after each use. See the
CLEANING section for more information.

Check to insure that the pusher head sits down completely on the
rubber bumpers. The suction cups on each rear leg will hold the

NOTE:
Food acids will make blades dull and corrode the metal.
Always clean this food preparation equipment immediately
after every use.

2. Keep proper blade tension.
3. Use for intended purposes only.
4. Change the blades regularly - based on usage.
rePlacing Blade aSSemBly
WARNING
Sharp Blade Hazard.
Blades are sharp and can cause cuts and
amputation.
To avoid injury from sharp blades, handle with caution. Only trained
personal should operate equipment or preform maintenance.
We suggest you change the complete assembly. Never mix old and new
blades in the same assembly as this may lead to excessive blade breakage.
Wash new blades with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly to remove
the thin protective oil lm. Keep the sharp edge away from you when
handling blades.
1. Allow yourself ample room to work on a at, dry surface. Familiarize
yourself with the parts diagram for your equipment. Blade assemblies
consist of blades, blade blocks, blade block pins, rubber seals, and
screws.
2. When changing blade assemblies on the Tomato King, close the pusher
head so that the pusher head ngers are through the blades resting
against the pin stop.
3. When changing blade assemblies on the Tomato Pro and Econo Pro
equipment, pull the pusher head assembly back away from the blades so
it is against the back stop.
4. To remove blade assemblies, use the proper tool to remove the four
blade block screws (2 at each end). Retain the rubber seals that are
mounted on the screws between the blade blocks and the casting.
5. Dispose of used blades and blade assemblies properly.
adjuStmentS
1. Examine the pusher head ngers. If they are nicked or burred, smooth
the rough edges with a small at le. The spaces between the ngers
must be uniform. Straighten any bent ngers.
2. Center the new blade assembly between bridge casting posts with the
sharp side facing the pusher head. Replace screws and rubber seals.
Be certain that the bottom blade ts between the two bottom-most
pusher head ngers.
3. Check the clearance between the pusher head ngers and blades. Make
sure they do not rest on or touch the blades at any point when you move
the head through its full travel. If there is contact, adjustments must be
made. Pusher head ngers must never contact blades.
Adjust the Pusher Head Assembly through the Blades:
1. Gently tap on the Pusher Head Assembly (A) so that the entire assembly
can pass through the blades. Notice how the “CIRCLED” portion (B) of
the pusher head assembly is now able to pass completely through the
blades. See Figure 1.
Figure 1. Pusher Head Adjustment Through the Blades.
To adjust Pusher Head Fingers between blades:
1. Carefully insert a screwdriver (B) between the slots in the Pusher Head
Assembly (A). Gently tap on the screwdriver (B)(up or down) to alter the
location of the Pusher Head Fingers so the slide effortlessly through the
blades. See Figure 2.

See Figure 4.
Figure 4. Pusher Head Adjustment Through the Blades.
Tightening the blades:
Blades must be tightened in alternating sequence
1. Keep blade assembly centered between casting end-posts with a gap of
air space between the blade block and post.
2. Tighten screws one-half turn at a time in the following order:
A. Top Right - 1/2 Turn
B. Bottom Left - 1/2 Turn
C. Bottom Right - 1/2 Turn
D. Top Left - 1/2 Turn
3. Repeat this sequence until the screws are tight. Check for proper blade
tightness by strumming the dull side of the blade to identify a uniform
vibration.
