Finally, the basket is supported by allen screws
located along the shaft at the top and bottom of
the basket. Be sure to tighten these screws prior
to using. If at any time the shaft spins but the
basket does not, you will need to tighten them
again.
Wash all equipment before use. To clean extractors, use warm to hot water with a soft
cloth. Please do not use anything rough and abrasive on extractor. If the extractor is
still not clean you may use a small amount of dish soap. There is no need to disassem-
ble the extractor while cleaning it. If you feel the need to disassemble the extractor
please be aware of the small ball bearing on the bottom of the extractor.
Frames should be uncapped prior to extracting. When extracting 9
⅛
” (23.18cm)
frames or 6
¼
” (15.88cm) frames with wax foundation, the frames will need to be
rotated during extraction. Extract side one approximately 50%, turn the frame to side
2 and extract 100% , then return to side one and extract the remaining 50%. Rotating
the frame will lessen the occurrence of blowouts in the foundation from the weight of
the honey. If plastic foundation is used, it is possible to extract each side 100% before
turning. 5
⅜
” (13.65cm) frames are placed radially as shown below. It is not necessary
to turn frames placed radially. Keep your honey gate open when extracting to ensure
the basket moves freely. Your extractor is not intended to be a storage tank. Promptly
move any honey to a storage container or bottling tank.
