The slicer lubrication system requires that the reservoirs under the C
ARRIAGE
T
RANSPORT
be refilled with
Lubriplate FMO-200-AW oil (supplied) after approximately 1 year of operation for a manual slicer
(model 3813) and after approximately 6 months of operation on an automatic slicer (model 3913).
Typical operation is estimated to be 3 hours of slicing per day. To check whether the reservoirs are
empty, lift up the right side of the slicer base and allow the L
