How to Use the Dial Adjustment
The machine will deposit 8 different weights of batter by using the dial ad-
justment. The numbers on the dial, reading the number which is below the
slot in which the selector pin is inserted, will indicate the sizes #1-#8. The
largest deposit of batter is made by setting #8. 1. Push the dial down from
the knob to release it from the peg. 2. Rotate the dial to the desired number.
3. Release the dial, sliding the peg into the slot. DO NOT try to change the
dial setting without first depressing the spring to release the selector peg.
DO NOT FORCE or use any tool on the dial. It operates freely when the
instructions are followed.
How to Remove the Plunger
The plunger of the depositor is locked in place with a peg key, held in place
by the operating spring. This key is fixed to the release tab, which is located
under the lower end of the spring. By lifting on the release tab, the peg key
can be raised out of the slot in the hopper arch; then by rotating the release
tab and the upper bearing ½ turn, the square key on the upper bearing can
be cleared through the slot in the hopper arch. The plunger assembly may
then be lifted up and removed from the hopper.
How to Disassemble the Plunger for Cleaning
Unlock the lock spring from the two legs on the tube, slide tube from the up-
per piston. Lift inner valve from the tube taking care not to force or drop this
part as it is very delicate and can be easily damaged. After parts have been
cleaned, they should be lightly oiled to prevent sticking. To reassemble,
reverse the disassembly procedure, insert valve into the tube, being certain
it is fully seated. Pass the tube legs through the upper piston and when fully
seated, re-hook the lock spring.
