3 Maintenance
WARNING
To avoid electrocution or other injury,
unplug the machine before performing
maintenance.
WARNING
If grease gets on the floor, clean the area
immediately. Grease on the floor can cause
someone to slip, fall, be seriously injured,
or even die.
Daily
Taking Care of the Plunger and
Cylinder
The plunger and cylinder are precision
equipment. Always handle them carefully and
avoid dropping them. If you do, they will
perform well for years.
Every day, after you clean and dry the plunger
and the cylinder, coat them with a thin film of
cooking oil. Doing so will keep them from
rusting.
Lubricating the Center Rod
Before starting and after every two hours of
operation, apply several drops of edible-grade
mineral oil to the center rod, directly above the
trip arm guard. This will allow the center rod to
move smoothly through the crown bearing.
Weekly
WARNING
DO NOT allow grease/lubrication to get
into the donut hopper, or to come in
contact with the donut mixture.
Lubricating the Shaft
Once a week, put one drop of food grade 30-
weight oil through the lubricating hole that is in
the cam case, right next to the dial. (This hole is
tapered; do not confuse it with the access hole in
the dial, which is larger and not tapered.)
Lubricating the Cams and Trip
Arm Pivot Pins
Once a week, apply several drops of food grade
30-weight oil through each of the two holes in
the top of the cam case. (The rear hole is for
lubricating the trip arm pivot pins. The other
hole is for lubricating the cams.)
Draining the Cam Case
Once a week, drain the oil out of the cam case as
follows:
1. Remove the trip arm guard, hopper, and
plunger.
2. Lift the frame assembly off of the pivot arm
pin.
3. Hold the frame assembly so the trip arms
point downward and allow any accumulated
oil to run out of the cam case.
