Inspections, Simple Maintenance, and Repair
LUBRICATION
Various slicer parts need to be lubricated periodically using Globe oil. Globe oil is
a light, tasteless, odorless mineral oil that will not contaminate or impart odors or
taste to sliced food products.
DO NOT USE VEGETABLE OIL TO LUBRICATE
SLICER. VEGETABLE OIL WILL DAMAGE THE
SLICER!
Food Chute Slide Rod
It is necessary to lubricate food chute slide rod with Globe oil if food chute be-
comes difcult to push.
1. Make sure slicer is off and unplugged. Then remove food chute.
2. Tilt slicer on its end. NOTE: The bottom of the G12A is completely covered.
Unscrew four rubber feet to remove slicer cover.
3. Put several drops of Globe oil on slide rod (Fig. 17-1) towards top of rod.
4. Tilt slicer back to its normal position.
5. Push food chute back and forth several times to distribute oil onto slide rod.
6. Reinstall food chute.
7. Plug slicer in.
Sharpener Shafts
It is necessary to lubricate the sharpener shafts with Globe oil every week.
1. Loosen sharpener release knob and pull sharpener up to remove it (Fig. 17-2).
2. Put several drops of Globe oil on shaft behind each sharpening stone (Fig 17-
3).
3. Push both sharpener buttons a couple of times to distribute oil onto shafts.
4. Put several drops of Globe oil on main shaft (Fig. 17-2), place sharpener back
into position and tighten sharpener release knob.
5. Wipe off any excess oil that drips onto slicer.
NOTE: The sharpener and stones can be cleaned with warm water and a
brush. Allow it to air dry. If the sharpener or stones are cleaned,
it is very important that all sharpener shafts are lubricated with
Globe oil afterwards!

The end weight slide rod should be lubricated with a few drops of Globe oil,
every week or when excessive drag is felt.
