5.  Mounting Instructions For the Gold Medal Spiral Slicer 
 

The Gold Medal 5280 and 5280M Spiral Slicers are capable of being mounted 
three different ways. 
 

a.  Suction cup mounting: 

Both models 5280 and 5280M are supplied with suction cups.  This 
enables the units to be mounted to any smooth unpolished surface. 

b.  Semi-permanent mounting plate: 

The semi-permanent mounting angle comes attached to your slicer 
with two clamping knobs.  To use this mounting system, remove the  
suction cups from the bottom of the unit, bolt the mounting angle 
to the the unit will be used on, and then reattach the unit to the mounting 
angle with the clamping knobs.  See figure #2. 

c. Permanent mounting: 

Both models 5280 and 5280M can be permanently mounted to any surface. 

*Caution: Permanent mounting of this machine may be in violation of health codes 
in your area and is not recommended. Check with your local health department 
before mounting.
