How to Remove the Plunger

The plunger of the depositor is locked in place with a peg key, held in place

by the operating spring. This key is fixed to the release tab, which is located

under the lower end of the spring. By lifting on the release tab, the peg key

can be raised out of the slot in the hopper arch; then by rotating the release

tab and the upper bearing ½ turn, the square key on the upper bearing can

be cleared through the slot in the hopper arch. The plunger assembly may

then be lifted up and removed from the hopper.

How to Disassemble Plunger for Cleaning

Unlock the lock spring from the two legs on the tube, slide tube from the up-

per piston. Lift inner valve from the tube taking care not to force or drop this

part as it is very delicate and can be easily damaged. After parts have been

cleaned, they should be lightly oiled to prevent sticking. To reassemble,

reverse the disassembly procedure, insert valve into the tube, being certain

it is fully seated. Pass the tube legs through the upper piston and when fully

seated, re-hook the lock spring.

How to Replace the Plunger

Insert the plunger into the hopper, passing the plunger rod through the slot

in the hopper arch. Then start the piston into the cylinder, as the piston

enters the cylinder, the square key on the side of the upper bearing should

be passed through the slot in the hopper arch. To lock in place, press down

on the handle and lift the release tab to allow the upper bearing to be further

depressed until the square key on the upper bearing which has passed

through the hopper arch can be rotated ½ turn. When the upper bearing

has been rotated ½ turn the release tab may be lowered and the peg key on

the release tab will lock into the slot in the hopper arch.

How to Use the Dial Adjustment

The machine will deposit 8 different weights of batter by using the dial ad-

justment. The numbers on the dial, reading the number which is below the

slot in which the selector pin is inserted, will indicate the sizes #1-#8. The

largest deposit of batter is made by setting #8. 1. Push the dial down from

the knob to release it from the peg. 2. Rotate the dial to the desired number.

3. Release the dial, sliding the peg into the slot. DO NOT try to change the

dial setting without first depressing the spring to release the selector peg.

DO NOT FORCE or use any tool on the dial. It operates freely when the

instructions are followed.

How to Operate the Type K and Batter Boy Depositors
