How to Determine the Tamper that Can Be Used with Your Container
Each type of tamper is designed to be used safely and effectively with a particular container. if a tamper
came with your container, it is the correct tamper for the container. If a tamper did not come with your
container, or you want to determine if a tamper that you already have can be used with your new container,
please compare your container with the containers and matching tampers to the illustration below.
Before using the tamper during the blending process, verify that it is the correct tamper.
•
64 oz. Short Containers use Tamper P/N 016041 that is approximately 9-3/4 inches long.
•
64 oz. Tall Containers uses Tamper P/N 000760 that is approximately 12-1/2 inches long.
•
32 oz. and 48 oz. Containers use Tamper P/N 015033 that is approximately 11 inches long.
To verify that you are using the correct tamper, place the lid on an empty container, remove the lid plug and
insert the tamper. If it is the correct tamper it should easily fit into the opening but will not come in contact
with the blades no matter how you move the tamper inside the container. IF THE TAMPER TOUCHES THE
BLADES AT ANY ANGLE - DO NOT USE THE TAMPER WITH YOUR CONTAINER.
