OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Fill the Basket with fruit to 1" (2.5cm)
from the top. For best results, crush fruit
before pressing.
2. Place the Wood Plates on top of the fruit
(FIGURE 6).
3. Place two Wood Pressing Blocks on top
of the Wood Plates. Position the Blocks
perpendicular to the gap between the
Plates and as close as possible to the
Threaded Shaft.
4. Continue adding sets of Blocks (each
set placed perpendicular to the previous
set) until the Blocks are higher than the
Basket (FIGURE 7).
5. Lower the Ratchet Assembly until
the Lower Ratchet Plate contacts the
Blocks. Rotate the Ratchet Assembly
clockwise to lower it and counter clockwise
to raise it (when viewed from the top).
6. Position the Ratchet Assembly so the
Lever Mechanism is to your right. Place
a Ratchet Insert into the slot in the Upper
Ratchet Plate that is closest to you. The
pointed end of the Ratchet Insert should
be down and to the left (FIGURE 8).
7. Rotate the Ratchet Assembly until the
Lever Mechanism is to your left. Place
another Ratchet Insert into the remaining
slot with the pointed end down and to the
left.
8. Place a container under the Spout to
collect juice as it drains from the Base
(FIGURE 9).
9. Crank the Lever Handle to press the
fruit.
10. Continue cranking until the Ratchet
Assembly encounters excessive
resistance. If the Lever Handle contacts
the top of the Basket while pressing you
will need to raise the Ratchet Assembly
and add more Wood Pressing Blocks.
11. To release the Ratchet Assembly,
reverse the Ratchet Inserts in the slots
(i.e. the pointed ends should be down and
to the right), then crank the Lever Handle.
