7. The ketchup dispenser must be primed before using.
8. Press down on the lever several times (approximately 10 to completely prime).
9. Wipe the bottom of the dispenser with a clean, moist
hand towel after priming.
Calibration
Set Brix cup under dispenser and dispense 6 shots
of ketchup into cup. Allow the lever to return fully
after each shot. 6 shots will dispense 2 fl.oz. (60
ml) of ketchup for regulars and 3 fl.oz. (90 ml) for
quarters. If the amount of ketchup dispensed into
the cup is above or below the ounces required, move
adjusting cam from hole #3 to hole #2 to DECREASE volume, or move to hole #4 to INCREASE
the amount of ketchup dispensed. Repeat this
adjustment until dispenser is properly calibrated.
6. Rinse all loose parts and the container with running
water.
7. Sanitize dispenser (use 1 packet of McDonald’s
Sanitizer (HCS) to a 2-1/2 gallons (8.5 l) of warm
water).
8. Let air dry.
IMPORTANT: Do not reassemble ketchup dispenser
until it is ready to be used the next day.
IMPORTANT: The lower numbered holes dispense less
ketchup. The higher numbered holes provide more
ketchup. For all hole number settings, the arrow mark
on the side of the adjusting cam must always point
towards the handle of dispenser. Because the dispenser
can only have one cam setting, that setting might not
provide the exact calibration for both quarters and
regulars. The calibration should always be set for
regulars.
