Dadant Fill Master
A. Power Switch - Turns the entire unit “on” and “off”. The filler can always be stopped from filling by turning
this switch “off”.
B. Fill Speed Control - The filling rate is controlled with this rotary dial. For example, a slower rate is desired
to fill smaller containers to minimize turbulence in the container when filling. Clockwise rotation increases
rate of fill.
C. Fill Quantity Counter - By setting this newest generation, LC/Digital counter, you determine the fill quantity
of your container. Look at the counter and note the display. This is programmed using four push buttons. By
entering a “fill number” in this counter, you set the fill quantity. More on how to set this is in section II entitled
“To Determine and Set Fill Level”.
D. Mode Switch - This 2-position switch allows you to select two methods of operation.
1.The pedal (left position):
With the Time Interval Dial “Off”one fill is given each time the foot pedal is pressed
(multiple presses on the foot pedal will not trigger multiple fills.
2. Auto (right position) is full automatic cycling with the time between fills set with the rotary
“Time Interval” dial. The Time Interval must be “on” for auto cycling to function.
Note: When operating in “Auto” mode, our recommendation is to remove the foot pedal
plug from the socket to prevent unwanted fills.
E. Time Interval - When “on”, this dial sets the time interval between fills when using the “Auto”
mode. Clockwise rotation decreases time interval between fills.
F. Manual Fill - This switch provides filling whenever it is activated and the power switch is
“on”. To fill manually (without counter) push in the button as long as desired to obtain fill.
G. Foot Pedal Socket Connection
Your Fill Master Filler:
It is best to become familiar with your new ller before lling containers with it. Look at the
face panel and become acquainted with each control’s location and function and operation by the
descriptions below. en move on to the practice section.

Read all of secon II before proceeding:
II. To determine and set container Fill Level:
1 With the power switch set on o, set the MODE switch to the “pedal” posion and the “Time Interval” dial to “o’.
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 ll unl you get a steady uniform ow (air out of line).
4. Press the red buon on the Fill Quanty counter. This will “zero” the top number on the display.
5. To set ll speed, ll a container using the manual ll buon, adjusng your “Fill Speed” to an appropriate level for
that container.
(You may desire to ll several containers to determine “best” seng.)
6. Aer you have your lling speed set, press the red buon to again “zero” your top displays number.
7. Hold your container under the ll nozzle—push manual ll buon and ll your container. As the container is lling,
note that the counter is “counng” the ll quanty. One steady uninterrupted ll gives the most accurate reading.
Aer lling your container, note the reading on counter—this is your approximate ll number for that size of con-
tainer. (When determining ll number, the fewest starts and stops gives the most accurate reading.) You may desire
to enter a “ll number” slightly lower (5 units lower) than the number you determined on boom line to be your ll
number.
8. Now enter your ll number for that container into the counter by using “up arrow” key and “le arrow” key as previ-
ously pracced.
Note: You may determine the ll quanty of a new sized container at any me by repeang steps 7 and 8.
III.Notes for your consideraon
1. If air leaks into the system
a) Your ller nozzle will drip or
b) You will see large air bubbles in the ll stream, which causes inaccurate lls.
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 condion may cause inaccurate lls.
3. The Fill Master is self-priming. With a container under the ll nozzle, lower the input hose into a container of liquid
and press the manual ll buon unl liquid is owing from the nozzle and all air is out of the input hose.
a) On rare occasions (when rst new or from non-use for long periods of me), the Fill Master may not self-prime. A
pipe tee with a plug is installed in the input line close to the ller case. By removing the plug, lling 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 condion at the ll nozzle may occur due to the head pressure developed by the liquid. Excessive
head pressure condions can be solved by at least two methods, and should this occur, call the factory for soluons.
Liquid condions vary greatly and in most cases, normal head pressure does not create a problem.
Cauon:
Liquids that are “thick” and do not ow well (high viscous liquids) such as cold and/or low moisture honey can cause the
unit to overwork resulng in overheang the motor and burning out the motor protecng fuse. Do not replace the fuse
with a higher amperage one, as the motor will no loner be adequately protected.
We Recommend:
1) Boling honey 90°F or warmer.
2) Cleaning the unit aer 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. Aer 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 sucon hose to remove all water from the system.
3) To restart the unit aer not using it for a month or longer, begin by leng the ller pump hot water through itself
for two or three minutes before beginning to pump and ll your product. (This removes any possible honey granules
from the unit and lengthens seal life.)

Let’s Pracce!
I. Set your Fill Master on a table top or bench at a convenient working height. Plug your Fill Master into a standard house-
hold 120-Volt receptacle. Before aempng to ll containers with actual product, we suggest you pracce for a short
me using water or simply running the unit to get acquainted with seng dierent ll quanes.
1. With the power switch set on o, plug your foot pedal cable into the socket on the front of the Fill Master.
2. Turn the Fill Master power switch “on”. Note: The ller may be stopped at any me by turning the power switch “o”’.
3. Press the “Manual Fill” buon several mes to get the “feel” of using it. (This is used to ll one or two containers or
“top o” some containers.)
4. To pracce seng lls, proceed as follows:
a) Place the “Mode” switch in the pedal posion.
b) Turn the “Time Interval” o (full counter clockwise).
c) Look at the digital display screen. There are two lines of possible numbers. The Top line indicates the ll number
the Fill Master has currently counted. The boom line indicates the ll number that you determine the Fill Master
is set to ll. Press the Red Buon to set the top line to zero. The boom line is set to zero by using the “le arrow”
key which changes what number posion you want to change, ones, tens, hundreds, posion, etc. The number
posion you select will ash. The “up arrow key” changes the actual number each me you push the key. The
number must be ashing to change it. To change which number ashes, push the le arrow key. A number ashes
for four seconds before being “set”.
d) Let’s pracce seng a number on the boom number line. Let’s pick an arbitrary number to set your Fill Master
to, like 236.
1. Press the le arrow key as many mes as necessary to make the rst or ones posion ash. Then press the “up
arrow” key unl the number 6 appears in the ones column.
2. Before the number in the ones column stops ashing push and release the “le arrow” key once. Now the tens
column is ashing and can be set. Press and release the “up arrow” key unl a 3 shows in the tens column.
3. Again, before the number in the tens column stops ashing push and release the “le arrow” key once. Now
the hundreds column is ashing. Press and release the “up arrow” key unl a 2 appears in the hundreds column.
Wait 4 seconds and the display will stop ashing and your number 236 is set.
4. Your ll number of 236 is now displayed on the lower display and is the Fill number entered in your Fill Master.
5. Press and release your foot pedal. Your Fill Master will run, count to 236 (top number) and stop. Push the foot
pedal again.
Note that the Fill Master counts to 236 and stops. Repeat this procedure a couple of mes to get acquainted
with your unit.
6. Try entering three dierent new ll numbers such as 55, then 207, and nally 438 and try each one by press-
ing the foot pedal and leng the Fill Master count to the new number and stop. Note: When seng a new ll
number, the boom number must be set to the number you desire-for example, digits not used must be set to
“0”. To connue geng to know your Fill Master, proceed as follows:
a) Enter a small ll number such as 50, on the boom line, then press and hold the foot pedal down. The ller
does not cycle again. The ller lls to your ll level and stops, when you release the foot pedal.
b) Now press the “Manual Fill” and while the unit is lling, turn the “Fill Speed” dial and note the rate of ll
change. Release “Manual Fill” buon.
c) Aer your remove the foot pedal from the socket and turn the power switch “o”, and the Time Interval
“o”, change the “Mode Switch” to auto. Turn the power switch back “on”. The boom display indicates the
last ll number that was entered in the Fill Master as this unit has up to a 10-year memory. Turn the me
interval “on” full clock-wise and the Fill Master begins cycling. The interval between lls is adjusted with the
Time Interval dial. Try several posions on the dial to help familiarize yourself. To stop the cycle, turn the
power switch “o” or the mode switch to “pedal” while the unit is o. Repeat these procedures unl you
are comfortable with your Fill Master’s operaon.
