Technical description/Characteristics
The manual sausage filler must be examined thoroughly for damage prior to use. The manual sausage filler
must be placed on a suitable, horizontal surface so as to
prevent slipping and tipping
. The manual sausage
filler can be screwed on to the working table by means of the four holes in the base plate. As alternative it is
possible to fix the sausage filler on to the working table by means of a safety clamp available as accessory
(Prod. No. 9 0916 030).
Cylinder, base plate, support rods, crank, rack and gearbox are made of stainless steel. Piston, exhaust valve,
stuffing tubes, cape screw, sealing rings, crank grip and rack guides are made of plastic approved for hygienic
use. The tight-sealing piston is fitted with an exhaust air valve. Stuffing tubes of Ø12, Ø18, Ø22 and Ø30 mm
are supplied with the sausage filler.

The exhaust air valve enables air between stuffing and piston to evacuate as the piston descends. Addition-
ally the stuffing tube is sucked clear when piston ascends.

Care and maintenance
Clean the manual sausage filler thoroughly immediately after use. Remove cylinder, unscrew cape screw and
stuffing tube. Unscrew piston from spindle. Remove sealing ring (e.g. using the corner of a plastic spatula) and
press the valve out of piston. Remove stuffing rests and clean all parts thoroughly. These parts are dish-
washer-safe.
If cleaning manually: Brush parts under running water and rinse thoroughly.
Clean gearbox, support rods, rack, base plate and crank with a damp cloth.
Use exclusively cleaning agents that conform to the applicable hygiene guidelines and observe the stated
cleaning instructions.
Grease rack with a lubricant approved for food processing (e.g. POLYLUB WHZ). Remount parts in reverse
order. If the sausage stuffer is not to be used for longer than 3 weeks, dismount and store the piston and
grease the sealing ring of the piston with a lubricant approved for food processing (e.g. POLYLUB WHZ).
SAFETY INDICATION
When turning the crank, the stuffing in the cylinder is compressed which generates a counter-
force. This can cause the crank to strike back if released quickly or accidentally. ATTENTION! To
avoid danger of serious injury, do not let go crank until force is neutralized by turning back and
releasing the tension. Never work with wet or greasy hands. Always grip the crank firmly.
