6. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: Before operating the unit, read this manual thoroughly. Test the machine when it is empty before using it on food.

6.1 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 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.

6.2 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. There is a wide range of sizes available:
Model:
External diameter, mm Ø
Internal diameter, mm Ø
Tube length, mm
Total nozzle length, mm
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.
