Hydraulic press operating instructions

Important! This Press machine was designed to be used in conjunction with a fruit/vegetable grinder. Fruits and vegetables must be ground into a paste consistency before placing in the press machine. 1; If a Champion grinder is used; block bottom opening with champion supplied blank cover.

This step is important!

The Champion must be used as a grinder, by simply blocking the bottom port with a blank. (see picture). Juice should stay with the pulp during the grinding process. This allows the pulp /juice to remain cool and fluid.

2; Place juice cloth on a suitable tray.

An oval shaped tray that fits under the Champions hub works great. Start with a wet cloth and grind fruits and vegetables onto the juice cloth. Note: Some juice may leak pass the blank/cover. It is normal. Use a larger tray to catch the juice - see picture!

3; Fold sides of juice cloth tightly to

enclose the paste. Make it slightly smaller than the press machines lower tray. Leave 1/4" gap between sidewalls to allow juice to flow/drain. Extra cloth laying in the tray will reabsorb juices, trim juice cloth to your personalized size.

4; Place folded cloth in the center of the lower tray. Make sure drain port is not blocked. -Place lower tray on the top of the lower press plate (on top of the jack). Note: the clear vinyl extension tube attached to the lower stainless tray can be turned in any direction to channel juice into a container or cup/ glass. Turn the tube inward if the cup/glass is placed front of the presser. turn the tube fully to the left if a cup is placed on the left side of the press.

-Use the flattened end of supplied blue lever to close hydraulic jacks release valve (located at the bottom of jack) by turning the valve clockwise (hand tighten only). -Place round end of the blue lever into the actuating arm, start operating hydraulic jack by moving the lever (pumping) in up-down motion several times. Keep hand and fingers out of the tray. -SUPPORT top of the press frame with one hand to prevent it from tipping. -Once upper and lower trays are fully compressed allow it to stand compressed for a minute, this will allow all the juice to be squeezed out. After leaving the pulp compressed for a minute, you should be able to push the handle one more time. It is ok to push hard on the lever. -After the juice stops draining, slowly open the release valve (located at the bottom of the jack) counter clockwise (no more than 1 turn) - For best result: the already compressed pulp could be re-folded to smaller size and pressed again. The smaller the folded pulp/cloth the more efficient the pressing will be. Note: Juice cloths are slightly oversized for average use, cloth can be trimmed to size to accommodate juicing loads. Start out with a smaller load, until you are familiar with the juicers operation. Please call us if you need additional cloths, also replacement cloths are also available in most fabric stores: Recommended juice cloth: We recommend using cloths that are NOT treated with chemicals and close to being natural as possible and should be made of 100% cotton. Fabric stores carry 100 % cotton cloth called: drill. This is a medium density, untreated, unbleached fabric.
