BarBoss® MP & Drink Machine MP Instructions 1. Set the container on the motor base by aligning it over the centering pad anchored to the base. (Motor must be completely stopped before positioning container). Containers are not to be used for hard, dry materials. Avoid running your machine with the container empty. 2. Place liquids and soft foods in the container first, solid items and ice last. Prepare food by cutting or breaking into 1-3 inch (3-8 cm) pieces. Frozen fruit should be as small as practical.
Note: The thermal protector shuts the motor off to protect it from overheating. To restart, wait for motor to cool down with the power OFF (up to 30 minutes). When this happens, review your processing techniques and your instructions. Your recipes may be too thick or have too much material in them. Cooling may be quickened by placing the motor base in a refrigerator or a cool spot. Unplug first. To speed up the process try circulating the air with a vacuum or fan aimed at the bottom of the base.
Blade Agitator Assembly. Blades are sharp; use caution when handling the blade. When inserting the blade assembly through the container bottom, align the flat sides. Gravity holds it in place while the retainer nut is tightened. Do not attempt to disassemble this part. 32 24 16 8 Drive Spline. Mates with drive socket on the motor base to turn the blade. Note: Removing and replacing your container while the coupling is still rotating will strip the drive spline “teeth”. (This part is NOT removable.
The Accelerator Tool prevents an air bubble from forming while blending. It is used when making frozen ice creams, pureeing fruits and vegetables, (or whenever your mixture requires it). It also permits you to push ingredients down around the blades while the Vita-Mix blender is running. Accelerator Tool use: • Use only with the lid in place and the center lid plug removed. • The splash disc prevents the Accelerator Tool from hitting the blades when inserted through the lid.
