Operation
diameter and shortest length possible) on the lid, locking it in place by turning the triangular nozzle nut.
Prepare the proper amount of casing.
• Push the knee lever all the way forward to the piston raising position. Always push the knee lever firmly; do
not use it as a speed control regulator.
•
Carefully raise the pressure by slowly turning the pressure control knob clockwise. Do not raise the
pressure suddenly, as this could cause the mixture to come out of the nozzle too quickly.
•
Note how the piston will begin to rise and air will come out of the nozzle.
•
Once the mixture begins to come out of the nozzle, release the pressure and place the casing on the
nozzle. Adjust the red pressure control knob to select the optimum speed.
• Once the casing has been filled, push the knee lever back to the piston lowering position until the piston is
at its lowest level in the barrel.
•
To stop the hydraulic assemblage, bring the knee pedal to the central position.
•
Turn the gray switch located on the right of the machine to the “O” (stop) position (I models only).
• When finished using the machine, clean it, lower the piston to its lowest position in the barrel, unplug the
machine and make sure that the machine cannot roll.
USEFUL TIPS
•
Do not use the machine without having received previous instructions from an experienced operator.
•
This instruction manual should be read carefully and fully understood before using the machine.
•
Test the machine when it is empty before using it on food.
Observe all the appropriate hygiene measures when handling food products; use adequate protective
equipment and procedures (washing, gloves, cap, apron, etc.). To produce sausage with a better appearance
and less smearing, as well as for more uniform mixture and less wear and tear on the machine, we recommend
the use of:
• Horn with the largest diameter and shortest length possible.
•
Finely chopped mixtures at the least coldest temperature possible.
Consequently, we recommend avoiding very long nozzles or nozzles with small diameters when using roughly
chopped or very cold mixtures. If nozzles of special dimensions are needed, order them from your dealer.
Never use the nozzle to close the lid since the rim could break. Close the lid with the lid lever only. Do not
open or close the lid without the green gasket in place since this could lead to scratches on the lid and clamp.
The barrel lid cannot be opened without first slightly lowering the piston by placing the knee pedal in the down
position. This will stop the mixture from blocking the opening. Place the machine as close to the work surface
as possible. The locations of the nozzle and knee lever allow the nozzle to be located completely over the work
surface, thus guaranteeing that no liquid falls onto the floor or the operator. In order to prevent overheating in i
models, turn the machine off after use. Turn the motor on only when in use.
Work at a reasonable pace, thus avoiding constant stopping and restarting of the hydraulic assemblage.
This machine is not designed to withstand permanent, uninterrupted use at high pressure, but rather to run
intermittently with pauses to allow for the dissipation of the heat generated, the amount of which depends on
the consistency of the mixture. Because of the pressure transmitted by the pump, after prolonged periods of
use the hydraulic oil may reach temperatures of up to 60ºC (140ºF) and the base side panel may become
warm to the touch.
