Shaft Extension Removal for Robot Coupe Model R301...not Listed below!!

To add the pulse button to your Robot Coupe R101, you will need to purchase the R101 Plus switch and front panel. The replacement is relatively simple and can be done by following these steps:

1. Turn off and unplug the Robot Coupe R101.
2. Remove the screws that hold the top cover in place and lift off the cover.
3. Locate the control panel on the front of the machine and remove the screws that hold it in place.
4. Carefully remove the control panel and disconnect the wires from the old switch.
5. Install the new R101 Plus switch onto the control panel and connect the wires.
6. Replace the control panel onto the front of the machine and secure it in place with the screws.
7. Replace the top cover and secure it in place with the screws.

Once the new switch and front panel are installed, you will have the pulse button on your Robot Coupe R101.

Pour penetrating oil down the upper shaft if possible. Remove the allen scews from the base with 5/32 T handle wrench. Remove the round snap ring on the motor shaft. Use vise grips or channel lock to secure the shaft. Twist the blade off and inspect it. It most likely will need to be replaced as the key that slides on the shaft will have deteriorated.

Yes you will need to replace the machine.

It just a long shaft phillips screwdriver. The screws are located under the foot pads. They just pull out and then there are the four screws.

Robot-Coupe USA.com should be able to sell you anything needed

There are 4 rubber shoes on the bottom of the white or gray base. Twist & pull these out. With a TORX long shank screwdriver (nothing else works, trust me) there is a screw way down in each hole. After removing the screws a gentle but firm bump should loosen the base. If you ever need to replace the motor, on the top around the drive shaft you will see three round plugs/disks, remove them by prying up with a pocket knife (works best) this will give you access to the three motor bolts.

Did you replace the start capacitor or start relay first ? This is the most common problem & a hell of alot cheaper than a new motor. Did you replace the motor shaft seal (around the shaft on top of the unit ? if not you will be replacing the motor sooner than you need to because the acids from veggies eat these things up & is the main reason why the motors fail, next in line is overloading or forcing product.

Remove the base the screws are under the rubber feet,on top of the machine there are three screw caps remove these with a bradel, unscrew screws with large torx screw driver, remove spindle anti clockwise by locking out fan at base. for all Robot coupe parts go to http://www.catering-machines.com/

That plastic piece is a sling disk or sling blade and made to sling product to the discharge chute. Believe it or not, the motor shafts wear out and could be the cause of premature failure. When you install the new sling blade, check to see how much slop/ play there is by moving this back and forth on the shaft, a small amount is ok (1/16th to 3/32nds). The other thing to look at is forcing or overfeeding the unit. You can contact them at Robot-coupeusa.com
