Use the handle to lower the plunger to approximately the halfway down position BEFORE installing the motor. (Fig. 4) 2. Remove the handle. 3. Insert the plug of the motor into the socket on the stuffer body. (Fig. 5) 4. Slide the motor onto the slow drive shaft, lining up the mounting thumbscrews to the mounting holes. (Fig. 5) 5. Screw the 3 thumbscrews into the mounting holes, alternating between them so the motor rests flat against the stuffer. (Fig. 5) 6. When parts are properly aligned, snugly tighten the 3 thumbscrews to secure the motor to the stuffer. (Fig. 5) Slow Drive Shaft Motor Plug Socket Fast Drive Shaft Fig. 4 Handle Plunger Thumbscrew Motor Plug Fig. 5 Thumbscrew Thumbscrew CAUTION · The plug of the motor MUST be plugged into the socket entirely. If the plug is not securely inserted, the piston will not be able to stop at the cylinder bottom or the highest position automatically. This may cause the motor to overload or possibly damage the stuffer or motor. This type of damage is NOT covered under warranty. Foot Pedal (Fig. 6) 1. Install the motor onto the stuffer as detailed in the steps above. 2. With the unit disconnected from power, the foot pedal can be plugged into the underside of the motor. Fig. 6 Foot Pedal www.AvantcoEquipment.com 5 User Manual Vertical Electric/Manual Hybrid Sausage Stuffers Operation Motor Operated Stuffing · NOTE: For thick mixtures, it is recommended to use the manual hand crank for best performance, as mixtures that are too thick can overwork the motor. To tell if the mixture is too thick, check whether the casing is filled unevenly. You might observe gaps or uneven distribution of the mixture within the casing. 1. With the motor securely attached to the stuffer, plug in the power cord. 2. Press the POWER button to turn the motor on. The ON light will illuminate. 3. Press the UP button to raise the piston. The unit will automatically stop at the highest position. 4. Remove the cylinder from the base by tilting it off the top brackets, then lift off the lower brackets. 5. Fill the cylinder and reinstall on mounting brackets. 6. Press the DOWN button until the piston reaches the mixture, all the air pockets are removed, and the mixture is starting to be extruded to the end of the funnel. 7. Press the STOP button. 8. Place casing over the stuffing tube and twist, tie, or clip the end. 9. You can now begin stuffing. · If using the control panel: Press DOWN button and use the speed dial to control the speed of the piston. Press the STOP button at any time to stop the piston from lowering. · If using the foot pedal: Depress the pedal and use the speed dial to control the speed of the piston. Release pressure on the pedal to stop the piston. Press the UP button while the piston is stopped to raise it up to the highest position. NOTE: The UP, DOWN, and STOP buttons are inactive when depressing the foot pedal. 10. The piston will continue to move down the stuffer until it reaches the bottom of the cylinder. At that time, it will stop for 3 seconds and then automatically rise to the highest position and stop. 11. When finished, clean the unit immediately. Alarm Reset · If your mixture is too thick or there is an obstruction, the unit will shut off and the ALARM red light will turn on. In order to reset the sausage stuffer and clear the alarm, press the button on the control panel. In order to prevent the ALARM from activating again, perform the following: 1. Clear any obstructions that may be present between the cannister and the entry of the stuffing tube. 2. Thin your meat mixture by removing it from the cannister, adding cold water (or other desired liquid for thinning), and mixing in a separate bowl. We do not recommend thinning your meat mixture inside of the stuffing cannister. 3. Reduce the motor's speed using the control knob. Manual Stuffing CAUTION · When the plunger is pulled out of the canister, RELEASE THE HANDLE SLOWLY! Pressure or gravity could cause the handle to spin back slightly and cause injury. 6 www.AvantcoEquipment.com User Manual Vertical Electric/Manual Hybrid Sausage Stuffers 1. With the handle installed, tilt out the canister. 2. For sausage: Fill the canister with meat and seasoning mixture. For churros: Fill the canister with churro dough. Ensure the volume ratio of water to flour is at least 1:1. 3. Press the mixture down into the canister firmly to release any trapped air. 4. Pivot the canister back into the upright position and snap the top brackets onto the canister mounts. 5. Turn the handle until the plunger comes in contact with the mixture and it is ready to extrude out of the end of the stuffing funnel. 6. Slip a casing on the end of the stuffing funnel until the entire casing has slid onto the funnel. 7. Tie, twist, or hog ring the end of the casing to seal it. 8. Turn the handle to extrude the mixture into the casing. · Fast gear shaft: Turn CLOCKWISE to raise the plunger, COUNTERCLOCKWISE to lower the plunger. · Slow gear shaft: Turn COUNTERCLOCKWISE to raise the plunger, CLOCKWISE to lower the plunger. NOTE: Only use the slow speed for churros. 9. For best results, apply pressure around the casing, close to the end of the stuffing funnel. This will hold the casing tight and will cause the mixture to pack firmly into the casing. 10. When the end of the casing has been reached, tie, twist, or hog ring the end of the casing to seal the contents inside. 11. When finished, clean the unit immediately. Cleaning & Maintenance CAUTION · ALWAYS unplug the motor from the power source before cleaning. · DO NOT immerse ANY part of the motor in water or any other liquid. · DO NOT place the motor in the dishwasher. · DO NOT take the motor apart for any reason. 1. Remove the stuffing funnel by unscrewing the front ring nut and pulling the funnel out. 2. Turn the handle until the plunger comes up and out of the canister. · Fast gear shaft: Turn CLOCKWISE to raise the plunger, COUNTERCLOCKWISE to lower the plunger. · Slow gear shaft: Turn COUNTERCLOCKWISE to raise the plunger, CLOCKWISE to lower the plunger. 3. Pivot the canister outward, then pull the canister up to remove the canister from the stuffer housing. 4. Unscrew the plunger from the plunger shaft. 5. Disassemble the pressure release valve from the plunger. 6. Remove the plunger seal from the plunger. 7. Wash all parts that have come in contact with meat in hot water with a mild detergent. 8. Clean the outside of the motor with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. 9. Rinse and thoroughly dry all parts immediately. 10. Sanitize as needed. 11. Fully lubricate the shaft, canister, pressure-release valve components, and the front ring nut with a foodgrade lubricant before and after each use. NOTE: The motor is permanently lubricated. www.AvantcoEquipment.com 7 User Manual Vertical Electric/Manual Hybrid Sausage Stuffers Troubleshooting Issue Stuffer is hard to crank. Meat is passing by the piston. Casings are bursting when filling. Motor not turning on. Possible Cause Meat mixture has become too stiff. Piston gasket is sticking. Gasket is not installed. Gasket is not lubricated. Casings are old and brittle. Casings were not soaked long enough. Casings were soaked too long. Casings should not have been soaked. Casings were filled too tightly. Stuffing tube has a burr and is puncturing the casing. Stuffing tube is too large for casings. Circuit breaker tripped. If stuffer has been operated for longer than 20 minutes at a time, the overheat protection may have been activated. Solution Add water/oil to the mix. Add lubricant (mineral or vegetable oil) to the piston gasket and the interior of the cylinder. Follow assembly instructions. (Page 4) Lubricate the gasket. Follow instructions carefully for the casings you are using. Adjust the speed of the piston to fill slower and allow the casing to move more freely while filling. Replace stuffing tube. Choose a smaller size stuffing tube. Reset the circuit breaker by pressing the power switch to the OFF position. Then press the reset button on the underside of the motor. Press the power switch to the ON position, the light should illuminate. Turn power switch OFF and allow unit to cool for 15 minutes. 8 www.AvantcoEquipment.com
