the instructions contained in this Manual and any requirements of local law.
No one should use or service this machine without proper training and supervision. All opera-
tors should be thoroughly familiar with the procedures contained in this Manual. Even so BIRO
cannot anticipate every circumstance or environment in which its products will be used. You, the
owner and operator, must remain alert to the hazards posed by the function of this equipment –
particularly the ROTATING GRINDING WORM, which can severely injure an inattentive operator
amputating fingers and limbs. No one under eighteen (18) years of age should operate this equip-
ment. If you are uncertain about a particular task, ask your supervisor.

SAFETY TIPS

INSTALLATION
3. After installing machine in operational area, it is imperative that the four adjusting legs be adjusted to level the
machine and also eliminate rocking.
4. This machine is complete except for a knife and plate. There is a bowl shipping plug (stamped steel) placed in
the output end of the grinding bowl to retain the grinding worm during shipment. REMOVE THE BOWL
SHIPPING PLUG AND THE GRINDING WORM.
5. After checking and making sure the power supply is correct, plug in your machine. NEVER OPERATE
MACHINE WITHOUT TRAY AND GUARD INSTALLED (Machine will not run with tray removed).
6. Machine must be properly grounded. Use qualified electrician to install according to building codes.
MOTOR WIRING AND ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
(A) Interchange of current is made in motor outlet box. Leads are properly marked. Changing instructions are
on the motor plate or motor outlet box.
(B) All grinders are wired 220 volts unless otherwise specified. Be sure motor specifications (voltage, cycle,
phase) match power supply line. Be sure line voltage is up to specification.
(C) Electrical connections to be accordance with safety codes and National Electrical Code.
3
(D) Rated voltage of the unit shall be identical with full supply voltage.
(E) Voltage drop on the supply line shall not exceed 10% of full supply voltage.
(F) The feederline conductor size in the raceway from the branch circuit to the unit must be correct to assure
adequate voltage under heavy starting and short overload conditions.
(G) The feederline conductor shall only be used for the supply of one unit of the relevant horsepower. For
connections of more than one unit on the same feederline, a local electrician will have to be consulted to
determine the proper conductor size.
(H) The size of the electrical wiring required from the power source to the grinder on the 3, 5, 71 2 HP Grinders is
a MINIMUM OF No. 10 WIRE. On the 10 & 15 HP Grinders a MINIMUM OF No. 8 and No. 6 respectively.
(I) The BIRO Manufacturing Company is not responsible for permanent wiring, connection or installation.

7. Located on the side of the machine is a toggle handle that activates the internal on/off switch. The interlock
safety switch is mounted to the top of the internal switch and will break contact with the magnetic starter should
the tray be removed.
8. Turn the toggle handle to the “ON” position. CHECK THE ROTATION OF THE WORM DRIVE SHAFT;
ROTATION MUST BE COUNTER-CLOCKWISE as indicated by the rotation decal affixed to the grinding bowl.
ROTATION MUST ONLY BE CHECKED WITH THE GRINDING WORM REMOVED, otherwise serious
irreparable damage may occur to grinding components.
9. If machine runs clockwise (backwards), it must be rewired to correct rotation, otherwise serious irreparable
damage may occur to grinding components.
10. Insert worm assembly into grinding bowl, place knife (sharp edges out) onto the square end of the worm
assembly. The breaker plate slides over the worm knife drive pin, and is held from rotating by pins in the grinding
bowl. Put on the retaining ring.
