SETTING UP
1.
All components are shipped packed inside the blue plastic drum. Open the lid
clamp and remove the lid. Peel the protective film off both sides so it is clear.
Remove all the components inside.
2.
Power up the controller and setup the WiFi connection (Appendix 1).
3.
Place the 3 black reusable rubber bellows in the drum. The bottom of each
bellow has a grommet. There is a short length of string that connects this
grommet to the circular bottom plate. Verify that each of the three bellows
is secured to the bottom plate. Place the bottom plate inside the drum. With
the bellows inside, hook the inlet tube on each bellow into the
corresponding hole in the drum. Drape the top of each bellow over the edge
of the drum. This will make it easier to fill the fermentation liner.
4.
Connect the circular plastic pressurization manifold tubing on the outside of
the drum to each of the 3 bellow inlet tubes as shown. The small hose crimps are necessary to prevent
the fitting from slipping off under pressure. A pliers should be used to compress. The crimps are reusable
and can be removed by
using pliers to push sideways and separate the teeth.
5.
Push
the open
end of the perforated metal tube into the plastic pressing tube head and secure with the
supplied 4mm hex key.
6.
Place a new fermentation liner inside the rubber bellows. Drape the open end of the fermentation liner
over the lip of the drum. That’s it! You are now ready to fill the fermentation
liner with grapes.
