Suggested Use: Operating Instructions - Assembly Instructions: Install the o-ring seal over the hub insert. O-ring should have a light coating of olive oil or other type vegetable oil prior to installation. After applying a light coating of vegetable oil to the motor shaft, align the arrow at the back of the auger to the flat on the motor shaft and slide the auger onto motor shaft. Slide screen insert into green attachment body from the back so that insert side opening is in line with the feeder tube of the body. The grooves in the insert must be aligned to the body ribs. If the fit is tight, recheck the alignment. Slide the back (ribbed-cone end) of the restrictor assembly over the front end of the body and with the center of the restrictor groove aligned with the rib on the front of body, slide the restrictor into the screen insert front opening. Lock the restrictor assembly into position by rotating counter-clockwise (about 60 deg) until it stops. Assemble green attachment assembly to the hub by aligning the body opening to the hub lugs and rotate counter-clockwise to the stops. Note: the body feeder tube must be at the top. Slide the deflector into the restrictor nut with deflector tab aligned to restrictor groove, until the tab snaps into the locked position. Juicing Preparation: Prepare the produce to be juices. This includes cleaning and breaking or cutting into suitable size feeding portions. Generally, for any material, if the produce has the tendency to plug or jam the feeding tube, requiring additional pressure to engage auger, then the amount is too large and should be reduced. When preparing wheatgrass, the length of the grass should not exceed 4 inches. Assemble the funnel to the feeder tube of the body. Place bowls under the green attachment body to receive the juice and pulp. Juicing: Turn on the juicer. When juicing wheatgrass, feed no more than about a 3/4 inch diameter bundle at one time. For all other materials, try to avoid excessively large feeding portions that might jam the feeder tube of the body. Generally, less is better. For all materials, feed the thicker or stiffer parts down for engagement with the auger. Do not exclude the stalks; they help clear out the chamber. Note: To minimize wear to internal parts, juicer should not be left running while not juicing. Using the green tamper, push the juicing material down the feeding tube and into the auger using an up and down motion. When juicing wheatgrass, it may take a few seconds for wheatgrass to engage the auger, signified by a distinctive "growling" sound. Most other materials will process more quickly. Note: Do not feed any additional wheatgrass material into the chamber until the "growling" sound is heard, indicating that the body chamber is now empty. Whenever the processing does not occur in a timely manner (more than about 10 seconds), introduction of a small piece of pulp should be used to clear the chamber before proceeding. Note: Overfeeding of the juicing material will result in additional stress on the parts and can stall the motor. In case of any unusual sounds, smells, heated pulp or motor stall, turn off the juicer immediately. Disassemble parts, rinse, inspect and reassemble. Introduction of the pulp through the juicer for a second pass will produce about 10% to 15% more yield. With wheatgrass, introduce no more than about a 2 inch piece of pulp at one time. Note: Additional passes are generally non-productive, and are not recommended. Disassembly & Cleaning Instructions: Disassemble parts in reverse order of assembly. Rinse all parts, clean them with the cleaning brush using dish detergent, re-rinse and inspect. Note: The screen insert's screen will probably require more intense brushing inside and out to loosen debris, depending on the material juiced. Rinse the hole in the back of auger. Clean hole with small bottle brush, is necessary, to loosen debris. Place auger with hole-end down and all other parts in a drying rack to air dry.
