ELECTRICAL SAFETY AND ADVICE REGARDING
SUPPLEMENTARY ELECTRICAL PROTECTION:
Commercial bakeries, kitchens and foodservice areas are environments where electrical
appliances may be located close to liquids or operate in and around damp conditions or
where restricted movement for installation and service is evident.
The installation and periodic inspection of the appliance should only be undertaken by a
qualified, skilled and competent electrician, and connected to the correct supply suitable
for the load as stipulated by the appliance data label.
The electrical installation and connections should meet the necessary requirements of
the local electrical wiring regulations and any electrical safety guidelines.
We Recommend:
−Supplementary electrical protection with the use of a residual current device
(RCD)
−Fixed wiring appliances incorporate a locally situated switch disconnector to
connect to, which is easily accessible for switching off and safe isolation purposes.
The switch disconnector must meet the specification requirements of IEC 60947.
The supply to this machine must be protected by a 30mA RCD

BEST OPERATING CONDITIONS
To obtain the best product results and consistent operation,
✓Make sure the depositor is used on a level surface.
(Adjust feet if required)
✓Ensure flat trays are used.
✓Ensure undamaged nozzles and templates are used.
✓Keep the machine clean.
✓Do not leave any components in the hopper.

❑FITTING THE HOPPER
CAUTION SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN FITTING HOPPER AND PUMP ASSEMBLY
AS WEIGHT EXCEEDS 25KGS ON SOME MODELS
It will need to be lifted off by two people, or
dismantled into smaller components while still on the machine.
MAKE SURE FLOOR AREA AROUND MACHINE IS CLEAN
To reduce weight and bulk fit the complete hopper assembly in two stages - first the
pump assembly onto the support bars, then the feed hopper body onto the pump
assembly.
1 By hand, align pump assembly drive gear roller with drive shaft on machine.
2 Fit hopper to pump assembly and secure with wing nuts.
3 Slide hopper on support bars until fully up against machine.
4 Screw hopper locking knob hand tight.

It is recommended that when heavy mixes are used, the inside of the hopper should be
coated with vegetable oil; for lighter mixes such as meringue, dampen with water. The oil
or water will help the mix to settle down the hopper walls and prevent air being sucked in.
NOTE: THIS MACHINE IS FOR USE WITH SOFT DOUGH ONLY
The use of templates and/or accessories not produced or supplied by MONO Equipment
will invalidate the machine’s warranty

4. TABLE ADJUSTMENTS
It is important that the table is parallel with the hopper.
(If this is not correct the nozzles will not be the same distance from the trays and the deposits
will differ across the tray).
Measure the distance at “A” and “B” below and check that they are the same.
This should be checked with the hopper bars positioned at both the full left position and the
full right position.
If not the same, an adjustment can be made by raising or lowering the adjusters under the
table. There is one each side to allow the table to be adjusted evenly.
Lift the front edge of the table and, with a suitable spanner, release the locking nut. Screw
the adjuster bolt up or down and then lock it in position with the locking nut.
5. TRAY GUIDE ADJUSTMENT
“A”
“B”
This allows different width trays to be accommodated.
To adjust the position of the back guide, remove the
table and turn it over. Loosen the thumb nuts and slide
the sheet across to the desired position. Tighten the
nuts and replace the table.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE:
- Cleaning must be carried out by fully trained personnel only.
- Isolate machine from mains supply before carrying out any cleaning.
- Do not steam clean or use a jet of water.
-Do not use any form of caustic detergent or abrasive cleaners.-
All the outer surfaces of the machine should be wiped over daily with warm soapy water.
DOUGH HOPPERS
BETWEEN PRODUCT MIX CHANGES
The feed hopper, pump assembly, template, nozzles etc. should be removed from the
machine and dismantled for thorough cleaning between product mix changes.
1. Open top safety guard (lift front and unhook the back edge) and remove excess
mixture remaining in the feed hopper.
2. Slacken template clamp strip nuts and remove fitted template from pump assembly by
sliding out while supporting it to avoid damage.
NOTE.
Thumbscrews only need to be released slightly to allow the template to slide away from the
pump assembly. If loosened too much, the template will have to be supported.

3 To reduce weight and bulk, separate and remove the empty feed hopper from the pump
assembly, whilst still on the machine, by unscrewing the wing nuts.
To gain access to the inner wing nut, slide the complete hopper away from the machine body
slightly (keep on support bars) - this will also disengage the pump assembly from the drive
shaft.
Ensure that the wing nuts are placed where they will not be lost.

CAUTION:
The feed hopper and pump assembly exceeds 25kg and will need to be lifted off by
two people, or dismantled into smaller components while still on the machine.
Take care to avoid damage to the sealing surface of the feed hopper during removal,
cleaning, assembly and storage.
1. After removing the feed hopper, check condition of feed hopper seal.
2. Unscrew the end cap retaining nuts from the accessible side of the pump assembly.
Ensure that the nuts are placed where they will not be lost.
3. Withdraw the end-cap with the pump gears.
Ensure that the ‘O’ sealing ring on the inside of the end-cap is not damaged during cleaning.
4. Remove remainder of pump assembly from the machine and remove
remaining end-cap to fully dismantle pump assembly components for cleaning.
