OPERATION

1. The dispenser must be primed after filling. Hold
lever down to force air out of cylinder. Shake
dispenser side to side or swirl (or both) to remove
air trapped around spring and cylinder area due to
thickness of mustard.

2. Pump dispenser a number of times to prime. If
dispenser is not working properly alternate pump­ing and shaking.

CALIBRATION

Set Brix cup under dispenser and dispense 47 shots of

mustard into cup. Allow the lever to return fully after
each shot. 47 shots will dispense 1 fl.oz. (30 ml) of
mustard into the Brix cup. If the amount of mustard
dispensed into the cup is above or below 1 fl.oz. (30
ml), move adjusting cam from hole #3 to hole #2 to
DECREASE volume, or move to hole #4 to IN­CREASE the amount of mustard dispensed. Repeat
this adjustment until dispenser is calibrated.

IMPORTANT: If dispenser is not primed air in the
piston, cylinder and diffuser area will cause improper
operation

3. Depressing the actuating lever one time will
deliver approximately 1/28 oz. of mustard.

CLEANING

1. Remove mustard from container.

2. Fill with warm water and press actuating lever
several times to pump water through dispenser.

3. Disassemble all parts and wash thoroughly.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Use mustard which is at room temperature.

2. Rotate rubber diffuser daily. Allow one diffuser to
dry out while using another one. This helps
diffuser maintain its shape for proper dispensing.

3. To check if diffuser is working properly, assemble
without any mustard. Turn the dispenser upside­down, press down on the center of the diffuser.
There should not be any movement between the
diffuser and the center of the plastic cylinder.

4. If there is movement between the diffuser and the
plastic cylinder, or if diffuser is soft, it should be
replaced.

IMPORTANT: The lower numbered holes dispense less
mustard. The higher numbered holes dispense more
mustard. For all hole number settings, the arrow mark on
the side of the adjusting cam must always point towards
the handle of the dispenser.
