OMNI V 3 horsepower Blender 

User Manual and SAFETY Instructions

CALL (801) 623-3225 (801) 623-3225

Before you begin blending, please review all instructions of the

electronic manual carefully. Familiarize yourself with all warnings,
warranty issues, what could void the warranty, would could cause
damage to the blender and/or injury to you or bystanders, and
anything else in order to perform appropriate blender blade and
container maintenance. 

Some of the information may be redundant. This is not to annoy you

but to emphasize on its importance and also so nobody can say we didn't tell you. If you have any
questions, email, or call us at (801)-623-3225. 

Follow the safety instructions. Please note, if you do not follow the safety instructions correctly, it
can lead to blender damage, to bodily injury, dismemberment, and / or even death (Although that
nobody has ever died from a blender, as far as we know). If any of this happens, by using the
blender/purchasing it, you agree to hold us harmless from any injury, liability, damage(s), etc..., that
may arise from its use and/or misuse. 

Misuse will void the warranty on your OMNI blender. Please note also, this blender is not a toy and it
is only to be used for blending food stuff, not  fake diamonds, magnets, wood sticks or brooms, even
iPods or cell phones, etc.

KEEP THE BLENDER, BLADE, AND/OR CONTAINER OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN

WHO MIGHT BE TOO YOUNG TO SAFELY OPERATE THE BLENDER. NO, THE
BLADE CANNOT BE STOPPED BY HAND DURING
OPERATION. 
Most obstructions won’t stop the blade from turning. Please do not ever
put your hand and/or any part of your limbs into the container during
blending operation. To be safe, if you have to remove an object from the
blade and/or container, remove the container from the blender base and
only then stick your hand into the inside of the container to remove that
object (and do that at your own risk – blades are sharp and could cut your
fingers).

As you can see on the picture to the left, the OMNI V Blender with the
square low-profile 2 quart / 64oz Co-Polyester (Eastman Tritan (tm) )
BPA-FREE container at a total height of 16.5 inches tall fits under most
cabinets against the wall on top of your counter-top for storage.  It is not
recommended to store away the blender out of sight because you will likely
use it much less than if you were to see the blender daily. If you happen to have the competitor's
blender, with a 2 hp or 3 hp blender,  the OMNI Container will fit (call to confirm). 

Another quick note about the 64oz OMNI Container (square and low-profile), JTC, the OMNI factory
refers to it as a 1.5 liter container since the measure marks on the container go up to 50 ounces. We
however call it a 64oz container because it fits the 64oz container size based on comparisons with
Blender Jars from most other popular competitors' blender brands.

OMNI V 3 HP Rugged Construction Heavy Duty Professional Blender

On the top please note the OMNI V 3 hp Blender details which are important to know and
understand for your effective and safe blending operation. In order to blend safely and effectively
without spilling or a mess associated to blending, always blend only with ingredients or content in
the container and the appropriate lid and cap on top of the blender base and container.
Always place your hand on top of the lid to secure the container and lid during
blending. Do not put the container into the dishwasher together with the stainless steel blade.
Although the Co-Polyester (Eastman Tritan™) Container material is food safe and dishwasher safe,
there are some parts on the blade assembly that sometimes may not react positively with some
dishwasher chemicals and could cause leaking / damage to the blade assembly bearing seal. If the
bearing seal breaks because of that, we cannot cover the blade assembly under warranty.  As usual,
feel free to contact us with any questions.

See Maintenance Videos

CAUTION:
Never use the blender base without the container in place or with an empty container in place. The
drive socket on top of the blender base can turn very fast and could potentially cause injuries, even
bad ones, if you happen to stick your finger between the drive socket gears while the blender drive
socket is running... The gear has sharp edges that are designed to connect to the drive gear on the
container bottom attached to the blade. (see more details further below).

BACKSIDE OF THE OMNI BLENDER

Note, the Overload Reset Button has been relocated to the bottom of the blender since March 2012.

Features and great Pluses of your 3 hp OMNI Blender

 Heavy Duty Professional 3 hp Blender

 Competition-compatible for parts and container interchangeability
 Quickly purees and blends even the toughest ingredients
 Rugged Construction outlasts other Blenders 5 to 1
 Speed Control allows you to puree, blend, chop, or grind
  Pre-programmed cycles using the timers 30, 60, and 90 seconds, saves you time; Just one
touch easy operation

Before Operating your Blender, (see picture below) turn your blender base upside down 
and unwind the power cord from the power cord storage area until
you have enough cable length to comfortably operate the blender
on your counter-top. Please note the area on the back of the blender
under the power cord security clip. There is a recessed area to place
the power cord in so it can be protected from damage and from
being in the way. 

Let the cord exit at this appropriate area for proper blender setup.
Make sure that the bottom vent areas are unobstructed. And while you are looking at the back and
bottom of your blender motor base, please also note the power-shut-off or overload reset
button. It is on the right bottom back-side of the motor housing when you stand in front of your 3
hp OMNI blender. 
 OMNI V Blender Operating SPEED Control
Keypad

The OMNI Keypad, as seen to the left, is equipped with 3

speeds: Low, Medium, and High Speed push touch-key
buttons. The electronic and waterproof keypad also
features 35, 60, and 90 second timer settings, and also a Pulse Button. Just push your selection until
you feel a little resistance. 

In order to turn on the blender:

 1. First plug in the power cord into your 110 Volt outlet if you bought a 110 Volt Blender, or into
a 220 volt outlet if you bought a 220 volt blender. The operating circuit amperage should be a
minimum of 15 amps with the 110 volt power supply and 8 amps with the 220 volt power
supply.
2. Switch the ON/OFF switch to the very left in Red to ON until you see the light on
the ON/OFF Main Power Switch. 
3. Then select your speed or timer setting, or pulse. If you selected the Pulse button, the
blender will only operate for as long as you hold down the PULSE button. If you use any of
the TIMER or SPEED selections, you need to push once and then let go. This will cause the
Blender Blade to run according to the selection you have made.  If you want to prematurely
turn off your blending cycle, you can push any of the operating functions (buttons) including
the Main Power Switch and the PULSE button once. If you push any of the functional
operating switches twice while blending, you are turning off the cycle with the first time push
and you will turn it back on in the new function when pushing it the second time.

Before operating your blender, make sure that there is no water on the blender base, on top of
the container cushion, or near the bottom of the blender base housing Power Plug/Cord Storage Area
and Rubber Feet. Although the OMNI Blender is equipped with a seal/gasket on top under the
housing where the drive socket is, it still could vacuum in / suck in water into the inside of the motor
housing through any of its openings for venting. Water will obviously cause damage to the motor
and/or any of the electronic switches.

If during the blending your container splashes (this can happen at times if you put too much watery
liquid over 50 oz in the container - It won't happen with creamy smoothie or soup and sauce
blending content)- make sure you have a towel close by to quickly wipe off and absorb any water
around and/or on the blender. Never submerge the blender into water or partially cover it. Electrical
shortening and shock (bodily harm) could be the result...

Also, make certain that the vent-in and vent-out areas (to keep the motor cool) on the blender are
never covered or obstructed. The are on the bottom and on the sides. Besides that this would void the
warranty, the blender could stop working, overheat, etc... (Actually the Safety Switch / Overload
Switch on the back of the blender is also a switch that prevents the motor from overheating).

Speed Control

At your own discretion you could select the LOW

SPEED Control for chopping and grading your
ingredients, such as making coleslaw or sauces with
chunky pieces in it and if you do not want to blend your ingredients into a fine textured substance.
(In my opinion, a high performance blender makes great smoothies, purees, sauces, soups, etc., but
is not a good food processor as some competitors would like consumers to believe).

You could select the MEDIUM SPEED Control for little finer chopping and grading on a faster
speed than on LOW. You will notice, when selecting the MEDIUM button, the speed of the blender
will start out on LOW and then about 2 seconds later transition to MEDIUM SPEED.

You could select the HIGH SPEED Control for blending fine textured smoothies, purees, pate's,
sauces, etc. You will notice, when selecting the HIGH SPEED Button that the blending speed in the
Motor will start out on LOW, then transition to MEDIUM in about 2 seconds, and again transition
to HIGH SPEED about 2 seconds later. This feature helps prevent the bursting or exploding of
ingredients inside your blender container upwards towards the lid. This feature also helps therefore
splashing.

For most operations, the HIGH SPEED Control is ideal and very safe because of its built-in
automatic speed increase interval. If you find with any of your blending speed selected that
your smoothie or soup or sauce or puree texture is still to coarse, just blend it again until you get to
the desired result. You can always make the content smaller and creamier. Please note, if you put for
example only carrots into your blender and you blend them without water or other juice or liquid,
you will get a puree and not juice. Refer to the OMNI Videos.

PULSE Control

The Pulse feature is something that all high performance blenders should have. As can been seen in
our video section, when we blended an avocado, pushing the PULSE BUTTON in short bursts lifted
the avocado from the blade upwards and every time it came back down and hit the blades it was
shredded smaller and smaller. I probably pushed the Pulse Button about 5 or 6 times in small bursts
of each a fraction of a second. As long as you hold the PULSE button down, it will drive the motor
and blade at its fastest speed and highest 3 hp blending torque. When you let go of the pulse feature,
the blender stops. 

Avoiding Getting Stuck

You could push the pulse button just a fraction of a second or you
could hold it down for even 20, 30 or 40 seconds or so. Of course, if
you want to blend a regular smoothie, I would recommend you use
theHIGH SPEED setting or any of the timer settings. The Pulse
Button is also great for chopping down ice cubes into crushed ice or
slush. 

I recommend you always use some small amount of water or liquid with your large bulky ingredients,
at least 1/2 cup. This will help keep up the vortex flow so nothing gets stuck in the container bottom
far corners where the blade cant reach. When ingredients get stuck in these areas, only the
ingredients can possibly move it out from these areas towards the blade. This is where the stir
rod/stick or a tamper could come in handy at times. But it is not always completely effective when it
does not reach that far. A tamper usually reaches just as far right above the blades without touching
the blades. 

If something is stuck right below the blades in the far corners (and that could apply to any blender
container brand), either taking off the container after you stop the blender motor, and shaking it
carefully without spilling, or adding little water, might help. And remember, as long as you use water
or some kind of a foodstuff liquid or juice, just enough to keep the content moving, you will never get
stuck. Real tricky ingredients are ice cubes, flax seed, and any other oily dry goods, and when
blending nut-butter in less than 8 oz quantity. They sometimes pile up on the side of the container
wall and the blade cannot reach the content anymore and just turns without any further ingredients
movement inside. That is when you need to either shake the content, stir it or add liquid... - SEE
VIDEOS

The main reason the tamper or rod is or should be used is for emergencies only. Never use a fork, a
spoon, or knife, etc, or your hand. Any of these methods to stir your ingredients could lead to injuries
and/or damage the blender, the blade, the drive socket, and of course your spoon, fork, etc... Please
see the warranty information. And use the rod/tamper stick only with the lid in place on top of the
container jar. This will help prevent blending up the tamper rod. 

Timer Setting Control

The timer settings on the OMNI V blender are 35

seconds, 60 seconds, and 90 seconds. The 60
second feature has one pre-programmed slow-down-brief
stop interval built in. The 90 seconds feature has 2 of
these intervals built in and the 35 seconds feature does
not have any. This short interval speed slow-down or brief
stop helps to stir the ingredients and turn them over so the top of the ingredients collapses back
down towards the blades. These interval processes take only a few seconds. 
Caution: The blender, when too light due to the lack of heavy ingredients, tends to move a little
during this interval process. Putting your hand slightly onto the container lid top may help prevent
this movement and keep the container from lifting off (only when too light).

At the end of each timed blending cycle, the OMNI blender will briefly beep to signal that the cycle is
complete. And just like with the SPEED selections above, the timer settings too start out with low,
then go to medium, and then to high speed. Each timer setting always turns to HIGH SPEED after
about 3 seconds.

As you can imagine, the blender won't know what ingredients you put into the container and how
long they may have to be blended. Therefore, it is possible that the blending of your smoothie, ice
cream, sauce, etc... is completely done before the selected timed blending program is finished. If
that's the case, just push any button to stop the operation. If you find that the blending is not
complete, just repeat the blending process, or use the 90 second setting for longer blending. 

To get your ingredients blended to about 100 F Degrees, it takes usually about 2 minutes or so,
depending on how hot  or cold the water was when you started out the blending process. Remember,
refrigerated ingredients will usually cool the water down.  NOTE, it is not recommended to use your
high performance blender as a cooking device. Hot soup is best created by adding hot water heated
up by an alternate heating source.

TIMER SETTINGS - TIME OF BLENDING - AND HOT TEMPERATURES

The HIGH SPEED setting will blend the ingredients without any end or stop. You will have to turn
off the blender manually in order to stop the blending process. Although not safe or not
recommended, it would theoretically take about  5-6 minutes to heat up the ingredients to about 140
to 160 degrees Fahrenheit. The reason it is not recommended to use the high performance blender as
a heating or cooking device is because of the associated scolding hazard. The container is not fix
mounted onto the blender base and could by accident be tipped over. Spilling hot tempered water or
other ingredients on your skin could lead to injury / burns. However, yes, it is correct, the blender
has the power to heat up the ingredient media because of its 3 hp motor power.

FREEZING

There is not a single blender in the world that can freeze any ingredients. Only a refrigeration system
can do that on command. If you want to make ice cream or sorbet, add sufficient ice cubes on top of
your fruit ingredients. Add little water (about 1/2 cup). Then use the stir stick and the pulse button to
turn the ice cubes and fruit into your favorite sorbet. Ice cream can also nicely be made by using
cashew nuts as an alternative to milk.

USING THE TAMPER

The plastic tamper is a sanitary way to stir and push

down on ingredients just in case you get stuck. But if
you blend the plastic tamper by accident then you have
to throw away your entire smoothie. Plastic is not a
consumable food. And the plastic tamper may have to
be thrown away as well. 

Always use the emergency stirring rod with the

appropriate lid in place, and
the center cap removed.
Sticking the tamper into the
container towards the
blades without the lid in
place and/or using any self-
pronounced stir stick (fork,
spoon, spatula, etc...) could
of course damage the blade,
the container, the drive socket, the motor, etc. and/or all of the above.
Injuries may also be possible, and for sure you will loose your tamper or
stir device.

The Drive Socket or the Motor can also break if you try to or actually block the blades while turning,
even to a dead stop or an attempted blade stop and an obstruction that keeps the blades from
turning. A large enough wooden stick or a plastic dowel or rod could be such an obstruction. See the
image  to the right, pointing out the broken drive socket. 

If you are worried about the drive socket quality, the drive socket is meant to break before the motor
axle breaks so it can protect the motor. If you think about it, the motor axle is steel and the blade
drive gear and blade itself are all steel as well. Of course the drive socket would give in before
anything else. It is meant to be that way. That is why even the competitors provide a replacement
drive socket with its commercial blenders.
Disclaimer: We are not suggesting that the OMNI Blender may need a tamper for stirring. The
purpose of the plastic dowel is primarily safety. Maybe you are going to use the tamper 1 out of 50
blending cycles.... it is unsure. In any case, it is unsafe to stick a fork, spoon, or other device into the
container during blending... Keep in mind that the blades are very sharp and the 3 hp
blender causes the blade to turn very forceful and fast. You are not able to stop the
blade by hand without sustaining serious injury.

Cleaning

To clean the Blender housing and keypad use just a damp towel or cleaning rug to care for it.
Do not use abrasive materials for cleaning as this will scratch the blender housing surface. Too much
water use could cause water to enter into the housing and could cause motor and/or electronic
component damage, including electric shock. Before cleaning the blender with the moist or damp
towel, unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.

In order to clean the Container

There are a few possible approaches depending on how the container

was used. If a pasty heavy thick cream of some sort was blended and
the remaining content cannot be rinsed out with normal running look
warm water, it is recommended to use a soft brush with a handle (for
example a bottle brush) to gently rub any of the left-over in the
container off and then rinse it out. It is always OK to use little
dishwasher soap. 

Definitely refrain from using Chlorine or any caustic or abrasive

cleaners that could cause a metal-material clash. If you put chlorine
into the container with the blade inside, the blade will start discoloring.
If the remaining ingredients are difficult to reach or hard to remove
from the container, then soak the container for a little while before
using the brush again. If rinsing is sufficient, you can just rinse the
container right after using it on the blender and serving your drinks, or
you could put little (up to 12 ounces) water in it with some soap and
then put the lid back on and put it on the blender for a few seconds
turned on, using the pulse button. Avoid splashing onto the blender. If
you use too much water, the water can easily spill through the lid. If the motor gets wet, it could
damage the motor and or any circuit board section.

Although the container is dishwasher safe, it is NOT recommended to use the hot sanitizing feature
in your dishwasher cleaning cycle. Just clean and rinse the container(s) by hand. Do not microwave
the container. Do not scrape any debris off from the container wall with a sharp object to avoid
basically scratching. And keep the container away from any stove, oven, or any other hot surfaces
that could melt the plastic.

In order to clean the Blade, you could either clean the blade while inside the container or you
could take it out with a wrench. Follow the blade removal instructions. We have also a  video of how
to remove the blade and put it back. Use a brush, soak the jar in water with mild soap, etc... it is not
very difficult unless you happened to blend up raw fresh eggs to 160 degrees F. The egg usually sticks
to the stainless steel parts really bad... If possible, avoid making scrambled egg in the OMNI Blender!

Safe Blender Usage

When blending, right before you turn on any of the Blender's operating controls (SPEED and
TIMERS), place your hand onto the container lid. Of course the container is already sitting on top of
the blender base. You do not have to hold it down with your weight. The weight of your arm and
hand is enough to hold down the lid and container. This will prevent the blender from incidental
moving and also prevent any potential lid-popping off the container, which could cause your
ingredients to splash all over your kitchen counter, floor, and cabinets. Besides the mess, it would
also mean the loss of your ingredients, or at least a portion of it.   A blender is not a power tool to
leave alone while blending. I would advise against that!

 Do not use the blender without the Container sitting in its correct place on top of
the Container Cushion which is on top of the Blender Motor housing and without
proper connection of the Blade Drive Gear to the Drive Socket. 
 Do not put the container onto the blender base while the blender is running and the drive
socket is still turning. 
 Wait for removal of the container and to put it back on top of the blender until the drive
socket stands still. 
 Do not use the blender with an empty container sitting on top of the blender motor base. 
 An occasional powering up of the blender for brief testing maybe one or two seconds won't
hurt the blender motor. 
 But don't leave the blender running in any low, medium, fast, or any of the timer setting
positions without a filled container, or at least ice and water in it. This could damage the
motor.
Once you have plugged in the power cord into the appropriate 15 AMP minimum electric circuit,
test the Main Power ON/OFF Switch. If it lights up, you have confirmed that power is going to the
Blender. If it is not lit up, unplug the power cord, reset thepower-overload switch on the right-
back-side-bottom of the blender housing / base by pushing it in. Then plug your power cord back
into the outlet and test the Main Power ON/OFF Switch again.

Warning: Never place the blade assembly directly onto the Drive Socket on the Motor without
being properly installed in a fitting container. This is very dangerous and it could lead to serious
injuries. Make sure the blade or cutting unit is securely fastened with the bottom plate / retention
nut.

ABOUT THE SQUARE OMNI 64OZ CONTAINER

The 64oz square OMNI Container is

made from FOOD-GRADE-
APPROVED Polycarbonate material. It
comes with a rubber lid that has a 1
inch hole in it and a corresponding
plastic cap to plug that hole. The
measurement scale goes up to 6 and
1/4 cups, 50 oz of liquid or 1.5 liter,
although the container fits comfortably
64oz of liquid or content. 

Like with competing brands, blending

all content at 64oz filled is impractical.
Effective blending depending on what
exactly is being blended is mostly up to
the volume of 40 to 50 ounces of liquid.
The ideal daily portion blending is at
about the 20 to 30 fl oz level once all ingredients are blended into puree and liquid form.

The blade unit that comes with the square container standard is the OMNI 6-knives cutting unit or
blade assembly. The blade assembly is made from a Japanese stainless steel alloy which is highly
effective in blending all foodstuff ingredients. That is why we call it also a MULTI-PURPOSE blade.
You can use it to blend grain, corn, flax, beans, etc... into flour, or nuts, fruits, vegetables, ice cream,
soup, sauces, and butters.
The square container is 9.5 inches tall. This brings the total height of the blender with the container
on top of it to 16.5 inches tall. The whole blender unit, used with the OMNI V 3 hp blender allows
then consumers to store their blender unit
comfortably under their kitchen cabinet on
top of their counter-top against the wall as
the picture in the beginning of this manual
indicates. 

Another great benefit of the OMNI

Polycarbonate container is that it is stack-
able. This is ideal for space saving. When
storing and/or stacking multiple
containers together, do not interlock the
handle, but rather alternate them so
separation is easier.

Over time, especially when blending much with hard ingredients such as grains and ice, the
container inside tends to surface scratch. Also, water stains may become visible over time. This is
normal. If you want to keep your container(s) nice and clear, avoid the blending of hard ingredients
and always towel-dry after rinsing / washing. You may also experience over time the blades getting
stained. You can remove the blades and then perform appropriate cleaning and sharpening
maintenance as well - see instructions below, also see the Maintenance Video Section

ABOUT THE BLADE

 The OMNI Blade is made in Japan and the material is from
a stainless steel alloy. In order to sanitize the blade you can
use vinegar diluted with water. Do not ever use Chlorine.
You could use rubbing alcohol. But for daily cleaning, it
completely suffices to soak the blade in the container in
water with little dish-washing soap. 

The OMNI Blade can be removed with a special tool which

you can obtain from us - call(801)-623-3225 - see
Maintenance Vid
eo. The OMNI
Blade can also be
sharpened, if you
feel that it is
needed.
However, you
will have to do
this at your own
risk. Be aware of
the associated
risks, nicking or
damaging the
blade if the blade edges are sharpened and made too thin.

The OMNI Blade is compatible with many containers for a competitor's blender brand. Use the blade
only when installed inside a container and never stick your hand into the container while the jar is on
the blender and especially not when the blender is running. 

Also note, when you use a device to stir your smoothie or content, be aware, when or if this device
reaches down to the turning blade, the device could be damaged and/or also the blade possibly, and
the drive socket on the blender, depending on what exactly you are using. It is recommended that
you use a tamper tool that is designed specifically for the container to be used with the lid in place so
it won't touch the blade. This is for your safety!
Inappropriate Operation - Correct Stacking of
Ingredients

If you happen to inappropriately stick down

a tamper, a fork, or some other device, and it
by any chance touches the blade during
operation, or if the ingredients are not
properly positioned inside the container (see
picture of ingredients appropriately stacked
- see stacking pattern in image to the
right) with the hard and frozen ingredients
(ice cubes), the blade could get damaged. 

This kind of bending up of the blade is of course very hard to accomplish. Nonetheless, it is possible
as this image demonstrates (to the left). Other damage to the blender, to the drive socket and of
course to the item or device that you stick down towards the blade during operation can occur. Even
injury could occur. That is why we would like to explicitly caution you against inappropriate
operation. Please note, this blade above, because of the type of damage it sustained, it is not covered
under warranty.

SPARE PARTS AND ACCESSORIES

You can obtain from us spare parts for the maintenance of your OMNI Blender. We have o-rings,
drive sockets, a wrench for changing the blade assembling, and bottom plates and blade assemblies.
Please refer to the detail blender descriptions above to identify the location of each part. These parts
are the most common ones to wear out. 

Spare parts and Accessories can be obtained from OMNIBLENDER.COM, LLC by calling 801-

623-3225 801-623-3225, byemail customerservice@omniblender.com, or by going to our

website www.3blenders.com.

NOISE ISSUE & Sound Enclosure

The OMNI V 3 hp blender when running on full speed has been

measured at 85 dB at the point of the ear (about 24 inches away from
the blender motor). This noise is much quieter than with its competing
2+ peak and 3 horsepower blenders. The competitors' blender motor
when on full speed is at 99 dB. If the 85 dB is still too noisy for your
hearing, please consider or actually do wear a hearing protection. 

Noise over 100dB is considered hearing and ear damaging when

exposed to it for a prolonged and/or longer period of time (more than
10 minutes). Alternatively you might want to consider a sound enclosure box, which we also offer on
our website www.3blenders.com. (If you have purchased your OMNI V blender from us, you are
entitled to a $20.00 purchase discount for your sound enclosure box. Call us at (801)-623-
3225 to inquire about it.

Changing the Blade / Switching Containers and/or Blades

The blade in your Omni container can be switched out. You can remove it also for special
maintenance purposes. Please follow the instructions as given by video
(click here). 

Remove the
OMNI Jar
from the blender. Turn the jar up-side-down. Hold the jar with one hand while inserting   into the
provided indentation of the bottom plate a large/long lever or the wrench tool, and turn the bottom
plate counter-clockwise. 

Make sure to place a towel or some kind of a cushion inside the jar on the table - surface. Once the
plate is turned completely off the blade assembly thread, and if the blade does not fall inside down to
the table - surface by itself, give it a little careful push or strike loose, so the blade falls outside the
indicated bottom hole from the bottom of the container. The cushion will prevent damage to the
surface. The insert the new blade assembly by reversing the procedure. - See Video. Or call with
questions: (801)-623-3225

Drive Socket and changing the drive socket

The drive socket is the turning piece that

looks just about like a little mushroom
right on top of the blender motor base.
Turn the blender only on when you have
the
container
in place
sitting on
top of the
blender
motor housing, and with the ingredients placed in it. 

If you were to touch the drive socket when the motor is

running, you could sustain an injuries, also quite serious. Do not
try to stop the drive socket by hand or any other device. Also, the
drive socket could break if you put too much resistance on it
during blending when for example pushing down on packed ice
and/or using the blender for which it may not have been designed
for. 
If you were to put down a dowel or a strong rod that the blade would not be able to blend up and thus
creating too much abrupt resistance or even point-blank stop the blade during operation, it could
break very likely the drive socket at the minimum, even possibly cause a motor and/or a blade
damage.

When removing the container from the blender and/or putting the container on top of the blender,
make sure that the motor / drive socket is not in motion. Removing the container during operation
or to put the jar onto the blender during operation could damage the blade drive on the bottom side
of the container and/or the drive socket.

If you need to change the drive socket because it is broken or for any other reason, please follow the
instructions on the video under Maintenance.

How to install a new drive socket:

1. Turn off the blender

2. Remove the container from the blender
3. Pull of the rubber cushion from the top of the blender
4. Turn the blender left - side ways. You will see a white rubber piece where you need to access
the drive socket screw - pull this white rubber piece off carefully. You will need to reuse this
part. It keeps the water out of the motor
housing.
5. Use a # 0 Phillips Screwdriver or an Alan
Wrench (which ever is applicable) to
unscrew the drive-socket screw (counter-clockwise). Alternatively, you may be able to skip
steps 4 and 5 if the drive socket is so loose that it comes off by itself without much doing or
force. You might be able to get the socket off easily by
pushing down and pulling on the socket several times
until it comes off. If there is a crack in it as shown in
above - right image, the drive socket will easily fall off. If
the socket does not come off, not even with unscrewing
the screw, then call us. You may have to return the
blender to us so we can repair it for you. We want to
avoid this because it also means longer down-time for
you. It is much faster for us to send you a new socket by
First-Class Mail
 6. Then, once the drive socket is off, put the new socket on the same way, following the reversed
procedure. However, you may want to turn the place of the screw to the right 1/4 quarter
turn away from the original position of the former bad drive socket. You may need to try to
move the drive socket into the right position to avoid vibration. Just like an unbalanced car
tire / wheel, the drive socket too needs to be balanced. Call us at (801)-623-3225 if you
have questions or watch our video.

The Drive Socket Maintenance

If the drive socket cracks, the blades will stop turning and a plastic
burning / rubbing smell might occur. When drive socket usually fails it
is because of too much torque against it, such as an obstruction during
the blades turning. It can also occur sudden due to heavy use over time.
In order to perform drive socket maintenance, use the appropriate size
of a Phillips screw driver and tighten the screw under the drive socket
mushroom right above the blender base. - see image and instructions
below:

Remove first the container rubber cushion. Remove the white rubber seal and then use the Phillips
screw driver. If the screw gets loose at times, it is possible that the drive socket leaves its place from
the steel motor axle. Occasionally check that by pushing on top of the still-standing drive socket. If it
moves down, then the screw is loose. A drive socket is a replacement spare part, a part that wears out
normally. It is inexpensive to replace. But it represents also a very key component to the safe and
effective blender operation. So please don't underestimate its importance. 

WARNING! Never stick your finger or any other object into the top of the socket between the sharp
gripping socket edges when the blender is on. This could cause serious injury. Never put a loose
blade assembly into the drive socket and then turn on the blender. The blade could take off like a
helicopter and cause significant and serious injury. Remember, this is not a toy and the blades are
extremely sharp!
If in doubt, call us for troubleshooting your problem. (801)-623-3225

Changing the O-Ring

The o-ring is the rubber ring that sits right on top of the
bottom plate, which screws to the thread on the bottom of
the blade assembly sticking out through the bottom of the
container. The purpose of the o-ring is to act as a gasket
and prevent container leakage. It is a secondary seal. The
primary seal to prevent container leakage is the bottom
gasket ring right on the blade assembly, which cannot be take off or replaced.

If you notice condensation right between and/or above the o-ring area where the plate screws to the
blade assembly threat and the bottom of the container, there could be three reasons for that. One,
the bottom ring gasket right on the blade assembly could be damaged. Two, the o-ring could be worn
out or damage, or THREE, the plate is maybe not tightened enough and you may have to just turn
the plate clock-wise with either by hand, a wrench or some kind of a dowel or screw driver /  lever
that can be used to turn the plate. Please see the Maintenance Video area for more information, or
call if you have questions.

Resetting the OVERLOAD /OVERHEAT DEFAULT SWITCH

In the back of the blender motor housing, right side bottom,

there is a switch that can be pushed in for resetting it just in
case there was an overload and/or a power shut-off due to an
increase of the motor temperature sufficient enough to
potentially cause a motor over-heating and thus shutting off to
prevent the motor from over-heating.

An overload power shut off could occur when you first plug in
the power cable plug and/or you turn on the blender. An
overload can also occur when the motor is overloaded with
more torque resistance than it can handle. As you may know,
there are limits to anything. Even a big pickup truck could be over-loaded...so to speak.  
Just avoid pushing down towards the blade any obstructions. If an overload happens, the motor will
shut off. Please just reach to the back of the blender and push the reset button to reset the blender
power supply. The reset button is covered with a clear plastic switch-cover to prevent moisture from
getting to it. 

The Motor and Cooling System

The Omni Blender is equipped with a 3 horsepower

motor. You may have noticed on the label, it states
a 950 Watts power consumption. This is because the
motor is a self-adjusting / compensating motor and is
engineered together with its operations programming
(circuit board) to be an energy-efficient blender. 

This means that the blender cools more efficiently, it

runs quieter, and it also runs little slower than some
of its other 3 hp high performance blender
competitors' blenders. The watt consumption is
whatever is required to get the blending job done
efficiently, well, and complete, from anywhere
between 450 Watts up to about 2200 Watts. The
average Watt consumption of the OMNI V blender is
950 Watts, as indicated by the label.

Some customers have asked us about the Watt

consumption and why it is so low while the blender
motor is a 3 horsepower motor. Our answer is that
just because you have a more fuel efficient vehicle
than another one, does not mean that the more fuel
efficient one nowadays has therefore less power. JTC focuses on energy efficient equipment using the
latest motor and programing technology to reach best efficiency in all categories. This means greater
longevity, the motor holds up longer, it keeps the wear-and-tear down, cools better, and operates
quieter.
Caution: The cooling fan sucks in and blows out air to keep the motor cool. Keep water away from
the table surface and/or from the container blender cushion during operation. If the cooling fan
sucks in water, it could fry out the motor and/or cause a short circuit failure and damage to the
circuit board and programing. During warranty inspection, the factory can detect based on visible
water stains and residue that a user may have inappropriately used the blender, and/or even
submerged the blender in water. Note, this will for sure void the warranty of the blender.

The Blender Label and Explanation about the details

About the 950W labeled Blender, the OMNI has a 3 horsepower motor with the torque of a 3 hp
blender. It is designed and engineered to run energy efficient. In other words it is meant to cool more
efficiently that will prevent it from over-heating or make it almost impossible to over-heat. It runs
little slower than the most expensive competitors on the market. Therefore it is also much quieter
than its competitors' 3 hp high performance high-power blenders. The watt range / power
consumption is between 950 to 2200 watts, depending on the required blender force to overcome
the resistance the ingredients demand during the blending cycle. Of course that is within the 3 hp
range. 

The bottom line is, the Blender motor is optimized to run and deliver the ideal blending environment
at that least possible noise, the coolest-possible motor operation, and the highest possible blending
and emulsifying power all at the same time, while consuming the least possible electricity.
