ASSEMBLY AND USE

1 Trunnion

2 Pressure Plate

3 Threaded Centre Rod

4 Wooden Blocks (2 x Pairs)

5 Collar

6 Screw

7 Steel Band

8 Cage Slat

9 Base

10 Handle

11 Nylon Washer

12 Mesh Sack (Not Shown)

Before building up the press
components, the threaded central
rod must be fitted to the base. A
suitable spanner or an adjustable wrench will be required for this.

The legs should be bolted or screwed to a firm, solid base, using the holes in
the feet. (bolts not supplied)

Put the mesh sack, containing the fruit, into the cage and hanging over the
sides. Press down the fruit by hand. Harder fruits - apples, pears etc., should be

cut into small pieces and ideally crushed using a mallet or shredder before
placing in the sack.

Place the collars (5) on top of the fruit, ensuring they are central within the
cage, then add the wooden blocks (4), (if there is sufficient room) followed by

the pressure plate (2) on top of these, as shown in the illustration. Place a
container beneath the outlet spout in the base (9) ready to collect the juice.

Screw on the trunnion (1) and rotate the handle (10) to press the fruit down
into the cage. Never use an extension bar on the handle. The second pair of
blocks provided may be inserted when space allows, to force the collar as
near the base of the press as possible. If the blocks (4) were not used for the
first pressing, unscrew the trunnion, sufficient for more blocks to be inserted,
then screw down again.

After use, the complete press must be thoroughly washed in a mild detergent,
rinsed in clean water and dried.

If left unused for prolonged periods, coat all metal components with a thin film
of vegetable oil and store in a clean, dry environment. Check the press’s
condition before using again and wash thoroughly, rinse, dry and apply a film
of fresh vegetable oil to its metal components.
