My way to a better coffee...
DISCLAIMER - Important!
In order to make the modification, disassembly of Rocky is first needed.
Take the power plug out of the mains socket.
Tip: It is advised to use a vacuum cleaner to remove any coffee residue from the hopper and from the burrs before you go on with the disassembly. Your work will be much comfortable without any coffee around.
2. Take off the hopper lid.
3x screws
Slide it upwards and make sure it is not scratched by rear cover.
Pay attention to the position of the chute rear gasket.
3x screws, 2x on top and 1x on base
10. Disconnect the power switch connectors.
11. Take off the rear cover after you release the power cable from its strain relief.
Tip: The grinder front switch is accessible now and the electrical mod can be performed.
If you need to make further improvements on the front cover, continue with the disassembling.
14. Unscrew and remove the earth wire.
The front case is disassembled now and ready for the rework.
Tip: Front cover is made of Aluminum cast and is sensitive to impact, be careful with the handling of this part.
Tip: Mark each connector you disassemble for easy assembly later on.
If you got confused, don’t worry, Rocky’s manual has the electric diagram ready for you. (see page 46)
Tip: Assembling is done in reverse order of the above.
Tip: When assembling, remember to screw the upper grinder burr until it can’t turn and then release it a bit to match the 3 threads of the burr to the hopper holes while in “0” position.
This must be done prior of assembly the upper grinder burr cover that attaches the hopper to the burr plate.
When done, turn the hopper to none “0” position to protect the burrs from touching.
Tip: Make sure that in “0” position, the hopper fits the stopper pin.
Just rotate it slightly until you’ll feel that the pin found its matching hole in the hopper.
Never force the hopper to less than “0” position as it will bend the hopper stopper screw and might also break the hopper.
Tip: Be very careful not to fasten the chute screws too tight as it will break.
