XVGA GRATER/SHREDDER AND  
XVSA SLICER ATTACHMENTS  
Our versatile grater/shredder attachments can be used to grate and shred cheeses, raw vegetables, nuts, breadcrumbs, etc.  
depending on the plate selected. Our S/S plates are available with 3/32", 3/16", 1/4", 5/16" or 1/2" size holes and a special  
grating plate for breadcrumbs & hard cheeses. A plate holder with shaft and one 3/16" plate are included with the XVGA  
attachment.  
Our slicer attachments can be used for slicing potatoes (from 1/16" to 5/8" thickness); cut-  
ting vegetables for salads and coleslaw; or for slicing fruits and nuts.  
An adjustable slicer plate with shaft are included with the XVSA attachment.  
WARNING  
There are sharp rotating knives behind the front door; keep hands out of hopper  
and use a feed pusher or stomper to push product into the hopper – do not use  
your fingers. Always stop power unit before opening front for changing, cleaning,  
or servicing anything on this unit. Only trained and qualified persons 18 years  
and older should use these attachments.

HOUSING OR BACK CASE  
The housing or back case mounts into the attachment socket of a mixer, food cutter or  
power drive unit and is retained by the pointed thumbscrew that goes through the attach-  
ment hole into the indentation on the neck of the machine.  
XVSD  
DOOR OR HOPPER  
The front door is a hopper and lever feed design. It hinges onto the back case and is held  
closed with an adjustable latch. To remove the front door, lift the latch and swing the door  
open while lifting it from the hinge holes.  
PUSHER PLATE  
XVSP  
The pusher plate has an integrated handle to push the food into the rotating disc or slicer  
knife. It has pins at both ends of the top and hinges into the front door. The pusher plate  
has a rubber-tipped stop screw (XP1018) under the handle that can be adjusted to prevent  
the plate from coming in contact with the plate or blade.  
XPH  
PLATE HOLDER WITH SHAFT  
Shredder plates are available with 3/32", 3/16", 1/4", 5/16" or 1/2" hole sizes. These plates

down on the pusher plate lever.  
Note: Too much pressure crushes the food and causes  
irregularity in the slices. Large items may have to  
be cut down to fit into the hopper.  
CAUTION: Keep Hands out of Hopper – use a  
stomper or food pusher.  
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS  
CLEANING  
1. Stop the power unit (mixer, food cutter, power drive, etc.).  
2. Release the latch and remove the front door.  
3. Lift the locking pin and withdraw the shredding or slicing  
unit from the housing.  
4. The shredder and grater plates can be easily removed from  
the plate hub by rotating plate counter-clockwise to release  
the keyhole slot from the studs.  
CAUTION: These plates are sharp and must be  
handled with care.  
5. All components of these attachments may be cleaned by HAND WASHING ONLY, using mild detergent in warm water.  
These units are NOT DISHWASHER SAFE due to the corrosive nature of commercial detergents, which can discolor alu-  
minum and turn it black. Rinse in hot, clear water and dry immediately. It is important that juices be cleaned from the  
attachments before they dry.  
Note: Frequent lubrication with a USDA approved grease is necessary to prevent shaft seizing.

6.When using the adjustable slicer plate, make sure it is  
cleaned frequently to assure easy thickness adjustment.  
Occasionally disassemble the slicer plate for a thorough  
cleaning. To do this it is necessary to unscrew the  
knurled thrust bearing, which has a left hand thread, to  
release the spring. Withdraw the knife and shaft assem-  
bly. Unscrew the adjusting nut from the plate. Use a drop  
of approved food machinery oil on the shaft and adjust-  
ment threads after cleaning.  
Thrust  
Bearing  
Spring  
Note: After cleaning, to prevent damage the thrust bearing must be tightened until sealed against shoulder on shaft.  
Failure to properly reassemble can result in damage to knives, shaft and slicer plate. Do not clean any of these compo-  
nents in a dishwasher with strong detergents or chemicals. Use a USDA approved grease on the shaft for best operation.  
CAUTION: Do not permit water or moisture to remain on or in the hub, shaft, or the rear opening in the hous-  
ing. This condition will result in rusting which will eventually destroy the rear end components and shaft and  
void the factory warranty.  
KNIFE SHARPENING  
Occasional touching up along the edges of the knife with a honing stone will keep cutting operations at peak performance.  
PUSHER PLATE STOP  
Frequently check that the pusher plate does not hit the grater plate holder or knife shaft assembly. The Pusher Plate Stop  
XP1018 can be adjusted to avoid touching the internal moving parts. With proper care and maintenance, your Vegetable  
Grater/Shredder/Slicer Attachment will provide you with many years of performance.
