INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

1. Wash the blade assembly with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly to remove the thin protective oil film.
2. Slide the T-handle assembly off the guide rods.
3. Raise the bumpers approximately 2″ (5.0 cm).
4. Remove the old blade assembly by loosening the thumbscrew and carefully pressing upward on the underside of the frame that surrounds the blades.
   NOTICE: Do NOT touch the sharp underside of the blades.
5. Install the new blade assembly by inserting the tab on the frame that surrounds the blades into the groove in the base. Then lower the blade assembly into a seated and flush position in the base. Tighten the thumbscrew.
6. Slide the bumpers down the guide rods so they rest on the base.
7. Position T-handle assembly onto the guide rods and slowly lower the assembly. Check the pusher head block to blade assembly alignment.
8. Lubricate the guide rod with mineral oil, Petrol-Gel, or another food-grade lubricant after each use.
   NOTICE: Do NOT use cooking oil as it will become sticky and may permanently damage the equipment.
