Telescoping Brewer Supplemental Information
Telescoping Brewer Principal of Operation - Your brewer is equipped with a telescoping column to allow periodic
adjustment of the brewer height. This feature allows continued use of the same piece of brewing equipment although
the dispensers may change over time. The brewer has an inner and an outer column which slide up and down against
each other. Three functional elements combine together to give the telescoping brewer its unique characteristics and
strength. Refer to figure on next page.
A flat “spring” lock (B), secured to the tank shelf, engages detents located internally on both sides of the wrapper
and carries the bulk of the units weight.
Retainer straps (F), secured after height adjustment, prevent the head from lifting.
Screws (D),which secure the outer back to the column, tie the inner and outer column together providing
additional strength and stability.
Adjusting Telescoping Brewers
1.
Perform the following steps in the order outlined prior to attempting brewer adjustment.
Disconnect Power from electrical supply.
Disconnect brewer from water supply.
Allow brewer to cool.
For easier adjustment, remove brewer top cover and tank lid, then siphon water from tank.
2.
Remove the outer lower back (H) from the outer column (M) by removing the two screws (D) near the backs
lower edge. Note these screws secure the columns together, so use caution as the head assembly will be loose
once they are removed.
3.
Remove the inner lower back (K) from the inner column (N). It is not necessary to remove the other two brewer
back panels (G & J).
4.
Locate the two brass knurled nut assemblies (E) attached to the retainer straps (F) at the front of the brewer.
Loosen the assembly by turning nut counterclockwise. DO NOT REMOVE.
5.
The brew head is now able to be adjusted up and down depending on its current position. Multiple techniques
may be used to raise or lower the brew head so use the one that works best for you.
To RAISE the brew head:
Grasp the outer column (M) from behind with one arm while holding the base (O) in position with the other.
Raise the brewer to the appropriate height for your dispenser and brewbasket combination. The brew head may
also be raised by lifting against the bottom of the tank shelf (A) or by using the handles (C), located on the flat
spring, while holding the brewer base in position. Ensure that the flat spring lock (B) fully engages an entire row
of detents on each side of the brewer and that the rows are the same height from side to side.
To LOWER the brew head:
Grasp the outer column from behind with one arm for support while squeezing the spring lock handles (C)
together. Lower the brewer to the appropriate height for your dispenser and brewbasket combination. Ensure
that the flat spring lock fully engages an entire row of detents on each side of the brewer and that the rows are
the same height from side to side. At the lowest position ensure that the spring lock does not set on the screws
which secure the column to the base (L).
6.
Slide the knurled nut assemblies (E) to a readily accessible location for future adjustments and tighten them
securely.
7.
Replace the inner lower back (K) on the inner column.
8.
Replace the outer lower back (H) in position on column and locate the obround slot which lines up with a hole in
the inner column. Secure the back to the columns with the screws previously removed. Check brewer for
stability.
9.
Refill tank with water and replace tank lid and brewer top cover. Reconnect brewer to water and electrical
supply and follow brewer operating instructions for setup and calibration of new brew volume if required.
Note: The screws (I) holding upper inner back should not normally be removed. If they are removed they should
only be replaced with screw of same length to avoid interference with internal components during adjustment.
