Testing the tightness of the press: Before first use, and at the beginning of every season, one must check the tightness of gaskets when the press is still empty. Connect the press to the network. This is done similarly as before the beginning of pressing; the only difference is that this time the basket’s contents must be empty.

For efficient pressing 2.5 bar should be sufficient. One can obtain this pressure by connecting to the water supply network. The membrane is built axially in the centre of the press and fixed to the bottom of the reservoir by a flange and six screws.

The coiled reel, which also allows the water into the membrane, has a fixed air- release valve on the top of the upper end. As one can see in the picture, the membrane is bilaterally pinned with the flange. The lower flange is screwed on to the reservoir with six screws, and the upper is held by a steel lid that is attached through a coiled reel and fixed with a coiling nut.
7. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE - PRESSING One must test the properly set and prepared (cleaned) press (according to the instructions before first and every use). The activity test must be carried out in accordance with the instructions for servicing and testing, Chapter VI.

the water tap one can avoid water leakage through the safety valve by constantly monitoring (with the pressure gauge) the level of pressure in the system. One can relieve the pressure by closing the water pipe and opening the ball-bearing tap on the unit and the air-release valve on the coiled reel. When pressure drops to 0.0 bar over pressure, one must unwind the nut and take off the lid.

The press can be used in combination with the additional bag for pressing lees. When doing that, one must use original bags of the right size, as otherwise the skin can become damaged.
8. TECHNOLOGY OF PRESSING SOLID FRUIT When pressing solid fruit (apples, pears …), one must grind the fruit with a mill (drum mill, mixing mill). Ground fruit can then be thrown in the basket of the press without any previous squeezing. For better pressing and easier emptying of the basket, one can use the additional net.

The bag that one takes from the press must be inverted outwards, so that the entire sediment that remained in the bag falls out (the bag must be turned in a similar way as one turns the pullover). The entire inner surface of the bag that is inverted outwards must be thoroughly washed with a jet of water.
9. TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE OF THE MACHINE The total weight of the machine is given in the table, Chapter IV. One is allowed to move the machine, but transportation is only possible when not in use and it must also be empty. The press’s weight allows simple movement that can be carried out by two adults.
