Instructions / Assembly

Revised 4/1/07
NOTE: If you grind your meat or sausage only one time, assemble the patty machine head and attach it to
the grinder before you start grinding. If you grind twice, attach the machine head before the second grind.

1. Remove the retaining ring from the grinder.
2. Attach the appropriate grinder adapter to the grinder using the retaining ring as you would
attach a stuffing tube.
3. Mount the patty machine head (#7) to the adapter and secure it with the winged bolts (#6).
4. Place the meat chute (#12) in position and secure it with the winged bolts (#6).
5. Attach the waxed paper roll (#13) to the patty machine head (#7) using the paper rod (#14) and
winged nuts (#15). Thread the paper between the patty machine and the meat chute. (Make
sure the paper unrolls counter-clockwise from back of roll, wax side up onto the chute.)
6. Pull the paper down the tray about 3”. Start grinding. The extruded meat will push the paper
down the tray.
7. When the meat reaches the end of the tray stop the grinder. Use the scissors to cut patties to
desired size or cut full length and cut to size later. A fast and easy way to have patties all the
same size is to run out full-length patty strips, cut and stack 4 or 5 strips, then cut to size with an
electric knife.
8. To change plates to make ⅜” patties, jerky strips or snack sticks, screw the selected plate onto
the head with two plate attaching screws (#11).
