Samson Welles Press - Manual (Page 6)

Operating Instructions:
• Make 1 to 2 cups of pulp with your juicer and place it on one of the juicing cloths
that came with your press. After you have used the press for a while, you can adjust
the quantity of pulp.
• Fold the cloth over the pulp until all sides are closed. Making the pulp pack tight will
increase pressing efficiency. Overfilling the cloth will decrease pressing efficiency.
• Place the folded side down and place it in the Drip Tray.
• Place the Drip Tray on the square plate on top of the jack. The under side of the
tray has an indented area that fits over the jack plate. This properly aligns the drip
tray with the pressing plate.
• Make sure the Jack Release Knob is turned all the way to the right. This controls
the hydraulic jack and should be finger tightened. You do not have to turn it hard.
• Place a pitcher or container under the funnel lip of the drip tray.
• Insert the jack handle into the opening at the base of the jack. Pump the handle to
raise the pulp filled drip tray to the pressing plate. As the pulp package is
squeezed, juice will begin to pour out of the funnel edge of the drip tray.
• Once the pressure starts creating juice flow, hold the handle on top of the press with
one hand to stabilize the unit. Slowly increase pressure until considerable
resistance is felt. Do not strain yourself or tip the press in the process.
• Unlike electrical presses, the pressure can be left on for several minutes while you
prepare more pulp.
• To lower the drip tray, turn the Jack Release Knob to the left (up to two full turns)
counterclockwise. This releases the pressure in the jack and you can lower the tray.
DO NOT LOOSEN THE KNOB MORE THAN TWO TURNS, IT WILL BREAK THE
PRESSURE SEAL AND DISABLE THE JUICER.
