READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS Read this owner's manual before using the machine. Failure to follow the instructions provided could result in personal injury or equipment damage. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN This disposer is intended for commercial use only.
GENERAL The FD4 Series disposers utilize hardened stainless steel cutter blocks (1, Fig. 1) mounted to a rotating flywheel (4, Fig. 1) and a stationary shredder ring (2 Fig. 1) to grind food waste to a small particle size for discharge through waste lines. With the motor running and flushing water turned on, food waste is reduced to grinding size by the rotating "hi-bulk" cutter (3, Fig. 1).
INSTALLATION Immediately after unpacking the disposer, check for possible shipping damage. If the disposer is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery. Prior to installation, test the electrical service to make sure that it agrees with the specifications on the disposer data plate. Temporary support, such as blocking, must be provided for the disposer during installation to avoid excessive stress at welded or soldered cone to table connection.
PLUMBING CONNECTIONS codes. Plumbing connections must comply with applicable sanitary, safety, and plumbing Drain The disposer is furnished with a 1-1/2" O.D. waste discharge spout suitable for connection to a standard trap. Install waste lines with the shortest possible run and best fall. The waste exit must not be higher than the center line of the waste outlet (1, Fig. 3 and 1, Fig. 4). Old waste lines must be thoroughly cleaned.

OPERATION Before operating disposer make sure it is clear of foreign objects such as metal or wire clippings, screws, nails, etc., which may have dropped into it during installation. Check the flywheel for free rotation. Never use your hand to check rotation of flywheel or to remove foreign matter from the disposer. Use a stick or similar object to turn the flywheel. Foreign matter can be removed with tongs or pliers. Start the disposer before feeding food waste. Be sure water is flowing.

CUTTER BLOCKS The cutter blocks (1, Fig. 1) may be rotated by a qualified Hobart Service Technician if the cutting edges become worn. OVERLOAD PROTECTION The disposer motor is protected by a thermal, resetable overload protector and will trip if the motor is overloaded.
