DISASSEMBLY
1. Unplug the chopper and remove the rammer.
2. Loosen the ring but don’t remove it. Loosen the thumbscrew and remove the entire cylinder.
Take the cylinder to the sink. Unscrew the ring and pull off the plate, knife and feedscrew.
Thoroughly clean each of these parts in hot water using a food grade detergent. Rinse and
sanitize each part with an USDA approved sanitizer. Remember to keep the knife and plate
together as a pair. Berkel recommends using approved sanitizer, part number 4975-00400.
3. Wrap a rag around the cleaning rod. Wet the rag and use the rod to clean between the pan and
the housing. You can also use the rag/rod to wipe the inside of the hopper and cylinder.
4. Take a bucket and fill with hot water and good grade detergent. Take an empty bucket and place
below the opening in the tray. Use the hot, soapy water to clean the tray, allowing the dirty
water to drain into the empty bucket.
5. Wipe off the sides with a wet cloth. Rinse with clean water, sanitize and allow to dry.
REASSEMBLY
WARNING
In the next steps, you will be asked to use grease and oil.
To prevent contamination and possible food poisoning, use only
Berkel USDA approved grease (4675-00185) and oil (4675-00182).
1. Place a thin coat of grease on the inside of the cylinder where the feed screw is located.
2. Push the cylinder into place on the chopper aligning the pin to the hole as it is installed. Once
the cylinder is back as far as it will go, tighten the thumbscrew.
3. Place a thin coat of grease on the feedscrew. Insert the feedscrew into the cylinder making sure
the taper shaft mates with the gearbox.
4. Coat the knife with grease and set in place on the feedscrew. The flat side of the knife points
outward.
5. Grease and place the plate on the feedscrew, matching the cutout area of the plate to the pin in
the cylinder.
6. Grease the threads of the ring and screw onto the cylinder. Hand-tighten the ring. Do not use
tools to tighten. Over tightening the ring will only cause the parts to wear faster than normal.
