Installation
IMPORTANT:
Before operating the unit, read this manual thoroughly. Test the machine when it is empty before
using it on food.
HANDLING STEPS
•
Loosen the screws on the upper lid (only for E models) and open the lid with a slight upward motion to
reduce friction.
•
Wash the meat barrel, the underside of the lid, and the appropriate nozzle with hot water.
• Lower the pressure of the machine to the minimum by turning the red knob that regulates the filling speed
counter-clockwise.
•
Plug the machine in.
•
Turn the gray switch located on the right of the machine to the “I” (start) position (I models only).
•
Turn the machine on by pushing the knee lever.
•
Push the knee lever all the way back to lower the piston enough to make room for the desired amount of
mixture.
•
Place the mixture in the meat barrel, pressing each new load of mixture down to avoid the formation of air
pockets which could break the casing during the filling process.
•
Put the green lid gasket in place.
•
Using the knee pedal, raise the piston until the mixture reaches the top of the barrel.
•
Using food fat or another USDA approved shortening, grease the upper part of the lid gasket and the
underside of the lid.
•
Carefully close the lid with a light lifting movement to avoid friction, taking care not to pinch or crimp the
cover gasket in the process.
To close the lid, use only the lever incorporated in the lid itself; do not use the nozzle. Take extreme care not to
trap or pinch your hands while closing the lid.
•
After putting the screws back on the upper lid (E models only), place the optimum-size nozzle (largest
