II.
To determine and set container Fill Level:
1 With the power switch set on off, set the MODE switch to the “pedal” position and the “Time Interval” dial to “off’.
2. Turn Power switch “on”.
3. Connect your Fill Master inlet hose to the product to be packed. With a container under the nozzle (very important),
push the manual fill until you get a steady uniform flow (air out of line).
4. Press the red button on the Fill Quantity counter. This will “zero” the top number on the display.
5. To set fill speed, fill a container using the manual fill button, adjusting your “Fill Speed” to an appropriate level for
that container.
(You may desire to fill several containers to determine “best” setting.)
6. After you have your filling speed set, press the red button to again “zero” your top displays number.
7. Hold your container under the fill nozzle—push manual fill button and fill your container. As the container is filling,
note that the counter is “counting” the fill quantity. One steady uninterrupted fill gives the most accurate reading.
After filling your container, note the reading on counter—this is your approximate fill number for that size of con
-
tainer. (When determining fill number, the fewest starts and stops gives the most accurate reading.) You may desire
to enter a “fill number” slightly lower (5 units lower) than the number you determined on bottom line to be your fill
number.
8. Now enter your fill number for that container into the counter by using “up arrow” key and “left arrow” key as previ
-
ously practiced.
Note: You may determine the fill quantity of a new sized container at any time by repeating steps 7 and 8.
III.Notes for your consideration
1. If air leaks into the system
a) Your filler nozzle will drip or
b) You will see large air bubbles in the fill stream, which causes inaccurate fills.
2. The Fill Master input hose can be lowered into a container such as a bucket or connected to a storage tank.
a) If lowered into a container, prevent the hose from “drawing” air. (The open end must be completely submerged.)
b) Prevent the hose from becoming obstructed. Either condition may cause inaccurate fills.
3. The Fill Master is self-priming. With a container under the fill nozzle, lower the input hose into a container of liquid
and press the manual fill button until liquid is flowing from the nozzle and all air is out of the input hose.
a) On rare occasions (when first new or from non-use for long periods of time), the Fill Master may not self-prime. A
pipe tee with a plug is installed in the input line close to the filler case. By removing the plug, filling the tee with
the liquid to be pumped and replacing the plug, the Fill Master will now prime. The plug must be sealed and no
air allowed to enter at this point.
4. The Fill Master is designed to pump directly from open storage bulk containers or to be connected directly to storage
tanks. When connected to storage tanks where liquid levels in the tanks are more than four feet above the Fill Mas-
ter inlet, a dripping condition at the fill nozzle may occur due to the head pressure developed by the liquid. Excessive
head pressure conditions can be solved by at least two methods, and should this occur, call the factory for solutions.
Liquid conditions vary greatly and in most cases, normal head pressure does not create a problem.
Caution:
Liquids that are “thick” and do not flow well (high viscous liquids) such as cold and/or low moisture honey can cause the
unit to overwork resulting in overheating the motor and burning out the motor protecting fuse. Do not replace the fuse
with a higher amperage one, as the motor will no loner be adequately protected.
We Recommend:
1) Bottling honey 90°F or warmer.
2) Cleaning the unit after each daily use (do not let cold honey remain in or allow honey to granulate in the pump—
damage may occur.) One way of thoroughly cleaning the system is to allow the unit to pump two or three gallons of
hot water through itself. After this rinsing with hot water while the unit is running, for long-term storage, if you have
access to an air compressor blow clean air in the suction hose to remove all water from the system.
3) To restart the unit after not using it for a month or longer, begin by letting the filler pump hot water through itself
for two or three minutes before beginning to pump and fill your product. (This removes any possible honey granules
from the unit and lengthens seal life.)
