1. Place the Stuffer onto a stable table or workspace.
2. Clamp stuffer to flat sturdy surface.
3. Attach the Handle to one of the Drive Shafts and turn to
raise the Piston out of the Cylinder and into the
Piston’s highest position.
Note: If motor or handle is not attached the piston and the
main shaft will fall.
4. Place the cylinder onto the frame by lining up the cylinder
tabs and the brackets on the base of the frame.
5. Insert the Stuffing Tube of your choice through the
Retaining Ring.
6. Turn the Retaining Ring and Stuffing Tube assembly
clockwise onto the Cylinder, until the assembly is hand
tight. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
First time assembly:
1. With a flat dull object, such as a screwdriver, remove
the Socket Cover.
2. Insert the plug of the sensor into the socket
on the side of the sausage stuffer gear box. Slide the
Stuffer Motor onto the Slow Drive
Shaft lining up the Mounting Thumbscrews to the
Thumbscrew Mounting Holes.
Caution: The plug of the sensor must be plugged into
the socket entirely. If 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.
3. Screw the Mounting Thumbscrews into the holes on
the stuffer. Be sure to snugly tighten these three
Mounting Thumbscrews to secure the Stuffer Motor
onto the stuffer. Turn the speed dial all the way up to
fastest speed.
4. Insert the foot switch cord into the inlet at the
bottom of the motor, be careful to not occidentally
step on the foot pedal. Pressing the foot pedal for 3
seconds or more will engage the auto up function
which may cause the already up piston to raise again,
and may cause damage to your stuffer or motor.
Always unplug the foot switch and turn off the motor
when stuffing is complete or walking away.
1. With the sensor cord securely attached to the stuffer and plug in the power cord. Follow motor assembly instructions
on page 5. With the sensor cord securely attached to the stuffer and the motor secured to the stuffer frame turn the
speed dial all the way up, plug in the power cord.
2. Press the power button to turn the motor on. The light will illuminate.
3. If piston is not raised press the "UP" button. Unit will automatically stop at the upmost position.
Note: "Up" has only one speed. "Down" speed adjustable by turning the knob.
4. Remove the Cylinder from the base Spray the piston gasket and the inside of the cylinder with food grade oil or
mineral oil and fill cylinder with meat. Pack meat in tightly so to eliminate all air pockets.
5. To slowly lower the Piston turn the speed adjustment knob all the way left and press the "down" button on the motor
or depress the Foot Pedal. When the Piston reaches the meat mixture, and all of the air pockets are removed and meat
is extruded to the end of the stuffing tube, hit "Stop" or release foot pedal, once the "STOP" button is pressed or the foot
pedal released the piston will automatically raise for a couple seconds. This function will help to stop the flow of meat
through the stuffing tube. This will occur every time as long as the foot switched is pressed for 3 seconds or longer.
6. Place casing over the stuffing tube and twist, tie or clip end.
7. Press “DOWN” button again, or step on the foot switch, and begin stuffing. Use the speed dial to control the speed
of the piston.
8. The Piston will continue to move down the stuffer until it reaches the bottom of the Cylinder. At that time it will stop
for a few seconds and then automatically rise to the highest position and then stop.
NOTE: Do not operate the stuffer for longer than 1 hour at a time or unit may overheat.
Turn Power Switch to off and allow unit to cool for 15 minutes.
NOTE: When making snack sticks or using the smallest tube it is highly recommended to stuff using the slowest speed
possible. Adding additional liquid to your mix will also help with this process. A very stiff mix or stuffing too fast will
make the motor work extra hard and may cause the circuit breaker to pop or meat to by pass the piston. If the circuit
breaker pops follow the information below.

and allow unit to cool for 15 minutes.
WARNING
Severe injury risk!
At all times keep fingers clear of the top of the cylinder.
WARNING: Never press the up button with the piston
already in the up-most position damage to stuer or
motor may occur.
