®
VELOCITY Ultra
TM
1HP Blender on a flat, sturdy
surface. It is important that the surface be clean
and dry. Assemble the blender jar by following the
Assembly instructions. Once the jar is assembled
and is in position on the motor base, plug the unit

replace the cover. You may add more ingredients
by lifting the measured pour lid and dropping
ingredients through the fill area. Replace the
