STEP 5
The plastic ends of the twin gears should also mesh like the
metal teeth. While the juicer is unplugged, you should be able to turn
the twin gears manually and observe the precise manner by which the
twin gears function.
STEP 6
The Gear Housing Unit is
constructed of three parts (
gear housing
cover, straining screen, and bottom
cover
). With the
gear housing cover
held
upside down, insert the
straining screen
with the hollow open end in first. Once
the
straining screen
is through the
opening, slide it forward to the end of the
gear housing cover
. Then
slide the
bottom cover
onto the two side grooves of the
gear housing
cover
until it stops sliding. CAUTION: These three parts should be
assembled upside down and should be completely assembled before turning
them upright. Do not turn the cover housing and straining screen upright
without the bottom cover in place; this would allow the straining screen to
fall out through the bottom hole and possibly become dented. It is best to
work over a counter top or table to avoid parts from falling onto the floor.
STEP 7
Slide this thre e - p a rt
gear housing unit
over the twin gears until
it fits flush against the
motor housing
with no space show i n g .
STEP 8
Swing the top and bottom clamp into place, so that it holds
the
gear housing unit
firmly against the
motor housing
. CAUTION:
The bottom clamp should have a snug fit but should not require extreme
force to achieve this fit. If great force is required, this indicates that the
parts are probably not assembled properly, and you should pull off the
gear housing unit and the twin gears and repeat steps 3 through 8.
STEP 9
With both the top and bottom clamps fully in place, hand
tighten the bolt until snug. HINT: Do not overtighten.
STEP 10
Place the juicer
funnel top
onto the feed hole on the top
of the
gear housing unit
.
STEP 11
Put the juice cup under the hole of the bottom cover.
STEP 12
Slide the rectangular lip of the pulp container up against the
juice cup and under the pulp outlet hole of the juicer to catch any juice
drips and pulp residue.

NOTE:
For best results, go through the assembly procedures, carefully
noting all cautionary points and hints, which are included for your
understanding and benefit.
STEP 1
CAUTION.
The various juicing parts have been engineered
to fit precisely together for your juicer to function properly. For the best
results, please take a little time to read these detailed instructions and
go through the assembly procedures step by step in cookbook fashion.
You should soon realize the proper assembly is precise but relatively
simple and logical. Normally, at first, it is helpful to read some parts
of any instruction manual two to three times for better understanding.
STEP 2
CAUTION.
To avoid damaging the various juicing parts and
for your Omega Juicer to function properly, you must achieve proper
alignment of the twin gears. The two gears are color coded. The front
gear is white and the rear gear, which is the main gear, is green.
STEP 3
Hold both gears in your hands. Note that on the end of each
gear there are one or two dots (indenta-
tions) on the teeth of the gears. For proper
alignment of the twin gears, you must put
the single dot of the white gear between
the two dots of the green gear. (See Picture.)
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the motor
and the twin gears, you must align the twin
gears precisely as described above. Note that as you turn the gears in your
hands, they mesh together, and that the single dot of the white gear
repeatedly intersects the two dots of the green gear.
STEP 4
While holding both gears
together
and properly aligned in
your hands, slide both gears into their respective receptacles. You may
have to turn the twin gears together in your hands until the dimple on
the back gear properly fits onto the rectangular drive shaft. Both gears
should be even at both ends. If the gears are not even at both ends,
that indicates that one or both of the gears are not fully seated in their
receptacles. CAUTION: If the gears come apart from one another while
inserting them, you must pull out the gears, visually ensure the one end dot
of the white gear is properly aligned with the two end dots of the green gear.
