CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE
Connect the mixer to a properly grounded outlet.
GROUNDING
This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with
an appropriate grounding plug. It must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.
DANGER -- Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a risk of
electric shock. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the grounding wire to either one of the flat blade terminals. The grounding
wire is an insulated wire with a green outer surface, with or without yellow stripes.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, of if in doubt as to whether the product is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided. If the plug does not fit the outlet, a
qualified electrician must install a proper outlet.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that
looks like the plug illustrated in the figure below. Make sure that the product is
connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should
be used with this product.

Figure 1 Grounding Methods
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot
receptacle that will accept the plug on the product. Make sure that your extension
cord is in good condition. It must be heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to use depending on
the extension cord length. When in doubt, use a heavier gauge. NOTE: The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
The following chart is the wire gauge size required for the distance from the circuit

ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Whether you have a countertop or floor-standing model, the turntable
comes completely assembled to the base and is ready to have the canisters
mounted.
CAUTION: Never lift the Blendorama by the turntable.
Doing so may damage the center axle.
Refer to the illustrations in the Parts Section for parts names and information
regarding the assembly of the bases.
Procedure
1. Place the Blendorama where it is to be installed.
2. The turntable assembly is attached to the base by a center bolt nut on the top
of the turntable and a center bolt underneath the square shear.
3. The drive crank with its plastic spacer fits into the square shaft in the center of
the bolt. Then the drive plate (star wheel) lies on top of the turntable (with the
square center plate facing up). IMPORTANT: Make sure that the drive crank
pin engages in the center bearing. The canisters will be aligned to the drive
crank.
NOTE: When installing canisters, ensure that the canister crankshaft, when
engaged in the hole of the drive plate arm, points in the same direction as
the drive crank. See Figure 7..
CAUTION: Do not rotate the turntable until four
canisters are in place. Doing so may
damage the agitation system. To ensure
proper assembly, the first four canisters
installed must be located at 90 degrees from
each other.
4. Place one canister in position on the turntable.
CAUTION: Do not tighten the mounting screws past
snug. Tightening the screws too much may
strip the threads in the canister.

INSTALLATION AND SETUP

5. Secure the canister with three mounting screws.
6. With the crankshaft properly oriented, install another canister at the 90 degree
clockwise position to the first canister. Secure the canister with mounting
screws.
7. When two canisters are in position, carefully slide the security cover in the
middle of the turntable so that it fits around the canisters.
8. Install two more canisters at the 180-degree and 270-degree positions and
secure with mounting screws.
9. Verify that all canister crankshafts point in the same direction, as illustrated in
the figure below, and install the remainder of the canisters, rotating the
turntable if necessary. To rotate the turntable, lower the locking lever, and
slowly rotate the turntable. Release the locking lever when the turntable is in
the correct position. NOTE: If the canisters are installed correctly, the
turntable should rotate freely without binding.

PRE-OPERATION TEST
Once all the canisters are mounted, the Blendorama is ready to test.
WARNING: Use a properly grounded power source.
Using an ungrounded outlet can result in
risk of electric shock.
CAUTION: The Blendorama is designed to operate on
AC current. Ensure that the supply current is
at least 15 Amps, that the circuit is properly
grounded, and that the circuit-breaker is
protected. Electrical work must meet all
Local and National electrical codes.
CAUTION: If it is necessary to use an extension cord
with the Blendorama, it is essential that the
cord is capable of carrying the proper
current and is in good condition. Using an
under-rated extension cord will cause
overheating and possible damage to the
motor. Refer to page 7 for proper extension-
cord specifications.
Procedure
1. Set the power switch in the OFF position.
2. Plug the Blendorama power cord into a properly grounded outlet.
CAUTION: If the agitation system does not operate
properly, turn the unit off immediately.

INSTALLATION AND SETUP
Blendorama 22PC and 22PD 11
4. Check that all the agitators are rotating clockwise. If the agitation system does
not work properly, refer to page 19, Troubleshooting Chart. If the agitation
systems works properly, proceed to DISPENSER PREPARATION on the next
page to fill the dispenser with colorant.
DISPENSER PREPARATION
Before preparing the Blendorama for use, make sure that all the canisters are
mounted and that the unit has passed the pre-operation test. At this point, place the
proper decal on each of the canisters. The decals should be positioned at the same
location on each of the pumps, as shown in Figure 7..
NOTE: The countertop model may be permanently mounted to a bench by
removing the rubber feet and using the holes as mounting holes.
Perform the following procedure to ensure that your machine is properly prepared
for accurate and trouble-free dispensing:
1. Turn the power switch to the OFF position.
NOTE: Colorants should be completely blended and uniform in consistency
before filling the canisters.
2. Place each can of colorant to be used in a shaker for approximately 5 minutes
to reincorporate settled pigment. Allow the unopened can to stand for at least
one hour to remove air bubbles created by this mixing process.
3. Remove the lids from all canisters.
4. Pour the contents of each colorant can into the correct canister.
5. Discard the colorant can in accordance with all regulations, and replace the
canister lid.
6. Set the gauge(s) of each pump to the halfway point. Depress the spring-loaded
button and lift the gauge by its handle.
NOTE: Dispensed colorant can be returned to the canister if collected in a clean
container.
NOTE: For dual-pump units, perform the Step 7 for each pump separately. Set the
black pump first, then the red one.
7. Remove the air from each pump as follows:

INSTALLATION AND SETUP
12 Fluid Management®
a. Without operating the valve, lift the red handle to the maximum travel
allowed by the gauge(s). This draws colorant from the canister into the
cylinder.
b. Discharge the colorant back into the canister by fully depressing the red
handle.
c. Repeat Steps a and b 20 times.
d. Lift the red handle to the maximum travel allowed by the gauge(s).
e. Place a clean can or paper cup under the dispensing nozzle.
f. Hold the valve open by pulling the spring-loaded valve lever forward as
far as it will go.
g. Slowly push the red handle down fully to dispense colorant into the cup.
h. Release the valve lever. Repeat this process until the colorant is
dispensed in an unbroken stream.
NOTE: To check that all the air has been removed from the pump, open the valve
lever without operating the pump. A small drop of colorant will appear at
the nozzle. Release the valve lever slowly and the drop will withdraw into
the nozzle. Repeat this check ten (10) times. If the drop of colorant at the
nozzle grows appreciably with each opening of the valve and/or it drops
from the nozzle into the cup, air is still in the system and Step 7 must be
repeated.
8. Once the pump is free of air, perform Steps 7 and 8 for each of the other
canisters that have been filled with colorant.
The Blendorama is now ready for use.

TINTING INSTRUCTIONS
