Prior to your event:
•
Pump the tire to 60-70 PSI using its schrader valve, common to many bicy-
cles and automobiles.
•
Check the traction between the tire and roller axel, and adjust per Page 11.
How to clean the Pro frame and blender base:
1. Wipe the frame and blender base with a sponge or cloth using soap and
water, or a non-toxic all-purpose cleaner. Dry with a clean rag immediately
after washing to avoid rust.
2. On the blender base, pull up on a corner of the Sound Reduction Pad to
remove. Wash it by hand with liquid dish soap and warm water, or in the top
rack of your dishwasher.
How to clean the pitcher after each use:
1. Add 1 cup (240ml) of hot water and a drop of liquid dish soap to the blender jar.
2. Place the lid tightly on the jar.
3. Place the jar on the blender base and secure with the Bungee Cord.
4. “Pulse” for 1-2 minutes on the bike.
5. Rinse well.
How to sanitize the pitcher long-term:
1. Fill the blender jar with hot water.
2. Add 1-2 teaspoons (5-10ml) of liquid chlorine bleach to the jar.
3. Stir for 10 seconds. Let mixture stand in jar for 5 minutes.
4. Empty water/bleach mixture. Turn jar upside down on dish rack until dry.
Cleaning tips and cautions:
•
Do not use stiff-bristled brushes or abrasive cloths or pads to clean the jar.
This will dull or scratch the surface.
•
Avoid submerging blender jars for longer than 5 minutes as it may reduce
jar life and result in water penetrating the lower jar seals. After cleaning, store
the jar upright.
•
BLENDER JAR IS DISHWASHER SAFE – TOP RACK ONLY!
•
Do not expose your jar to temperatures over 176°F (80°C). Ingredient
temperatures should not exceed 115°F (46°C). Please note that boiling
water is too hot for the jar and should never be used.

Essentials:
•
Fender Blender Pro, fully assembled.
•
Multiple pitchers, ideally one for each flavor on the menu, plus a vegan/
dairy-free one. Fewer pitchers than flavors means washing between blending.
•
Space measuring at least 6x8 feet to set up the booth.
•
Food preparation table, plus a second surface for cleaning and handwashing.
•
Kitchen knife, ideally with a sheath, and cutting board or flexible cutting sheets.
•
Cooler for frozen and refrigerated items.
•
Compostable cups for serving smoothies.
•
Trash receptacles labeled Recycle, Landfill, and Compost.
•
Team of at least two people to run the booth: one to prepare smoothies, and
a second to work exclusively on the bike, adjusting seat height for riders and
coaching their blending.
Health Department requirements:
•
Cleaning bins labelled Wash, Rinse, and Bleach, plus sponges and enough
dish soap and bleach to meet your county’s food permit requirements. Make
sure the bins are deep enough to completely submerge a pitcher.
•
Hand washing station that includes a dispenser with soap, water, a catchment
container, and towels. Set up a five-gallon water dispenser on a table with
soap and towels, and a plastic bin underneath to catch the gray water.
•
Tent measuring at least 10x10 feet, and has walls. Many health departments
require that food preparation areas be clear of any debris or animals.
•
Food service gloves, for simple, sanitary preparation.
Driving profits:
•
Signage increases a booth’s visibility and provides product information.
•
Menu with prices listed speeds up the line, by answering customers’ questions
and helping them decide as they wait.
•
Keep the cash box locked and in a secure location. Ideally, assign a third
team member to handle money and place orders.
