Plumbing Instructions

1. Connect the discharge outlet of the TUFF GUT to a 4 inch or larger overboarddrain line and install a clean out (T) at rear of unit.

2. If connecting to an existing drain line, it must be completely cleaned outbefore installation.

3. Make sure you have approximately 100 psi potable water pressure at thewater inlet connection.

4. Connect a potable water line to the 1/2 inch NPT pipe fitting on the side of theunit.

5. It not recommended that you put a shut off valve near the unit’s water inlet. This could be left off when the unit is operating and water will not flow into unit causing problems.

6. Unit has an internal water solenoid valve that will open when the start buttonis pushed.

7. Never grind food in the unit without water flowing thru it. This will causethe grind chamber and/or the drain line to plug up.

Units are shipped prewired for either 230 VAC or 460 VAC 3 Phase.Be sure to check the unit and connect to appropriate voltage.

Units must be permanently grounded using a grounding conductor run with the circuit conductors andconnected to unit.

1. Open the motor control box and check for supply voltage requirements.

2. Feed incoming wires through a watertight fitting you install in the bottom of the control box.

3. Connect your 3 incoming power leads on the terminal strip at the bottom left ofthe control box.

4. Connect incoming grounding wire to the ground screw inside the control box.Unit must be permanently grounded.

5. The drive motor is protected with a resetable motor overload located in the control box. Toreset wait 5 minutes, then sharply push the reset button on the overload.

1. Water must be flowing thru unit when in operation. Make sure water solenoidis operating properly and water flow is sufficient to flush food thru unit.

2. Check for drain line blockage. Do not run unit if your drain line is blocked. Disconnect unit from drain line and clear blockage.

Do not try to unstop drainline thru the unit. Do not use high pressure water to flush the grind chamber, thiswill ruin the shaft seals/bearings.

3. If any unusual noises, such as worn bearings, loose belt or motor noise occurs,shut unit down and inspect immediately.

Check Monthly

1. Inspection condition of grinding elements and shredder ring. If worn or broken, replace them.

REPLACE ALL GRIND COMPONENTS YEARLY.(Order Cutting Kit, Part Number... CUT 10)

2. If unit is grinding slowly or drain line stops up regularly, grinding elements could be worn and needto be replaced.

3. Inspect control box to make sure water is not leaking inside.

4. Inspect cogged belt for wear and tension. Do not over tighten cogged belt.

5. Grease the bottom mounted grinder drive shaft bearing with high qualitybearing grease via the zert on the bearing.
