Congratulations!
You have just purchased one of the most powerful and efficient commercial wheatgrass
juicers on the market. The Wheatgrass King can easily tackle even the most demanding
juice bar. Its sturdy and simple design makes for easy assembly and cleaning. Its slow
grinding auger prevents oxidation of the juice, which helps retain nutrients. The all
stainless steel construction will give you years of durable and reliable service.

Assembling Your Juicer
1 Slide the screen (#3 inside the juicer body (#2 with the narrow end first.
2 Line up the juicer body (#2 so that it is held straight at a 90 degree angle with the
motor. Push it into the motor receptacle until it is flush with the motor.
3 Place the flat side of the plastic bushing (#4 * flush with the flat of the grinding auger
(#5 .
4 Place the grinding auger (#5 inside the juicer body (#2 .
5 Place the gasket (#6 ** into the locking ring/pulp outlet (#7 .
6 Screw locking ring (#7 by hand onto juicer body (#2 in a countercloc wise
direction. Do not over tighten.
7 Turn tightening key (#8 gently until you feel it just touch the juicer body. This will
lock the juicer body on securely. Do not force the tightening key or you will
eventually strip the threads.
8 Plug machine into a ground fault interrupted outlet for safety.
9 Place a bowl or cup under juicer body (#2 to catch juice. Place another bowl under
pulp outlet (#7 to catch pulp.
*The bushing is a small plastic piece designed to reduce friction. It may be
snugly fit inside the bac of the juicer spout. If it comes out, follow step 3 above.
**The gas et is a small rubber ring that prevents juice from lea ing out the
outlet threads.

Before operating this machine, be sure to read all the warnings on page 5.
Operating Tips:
• This juicer is intended for wheatgrass and leafy greens.
• Before you turn on the machine, always make sure the loc ing ring/pulp outlet
is tight. (To tighten it, remember to turn it in a counterclockwise direction.
• When turning the key to lock the juicer body in place, turn it gently and do not
over tighten it. This will prevent the threads on the key from being stripped.
• To turn the machine on, press the switch to the “forward” juicing position.
• If for any reason the machine gets jammed, use the “reverse” mode by
pressing and holding the switch to reverse position.
• To feed wheatgrass into the juicer, take a handful of grass that is about the
diameter of a quarter when pinched tightly.
• Gently feed the grass into the juicer body so that the grass goes down and
contacts the grinding auger.
• The grinding auger is designed to pull the grass down into the juicer. However,
to help it along you may use the included tamper or a carrot/celery to push it
through. Never push grass down with your fingers!
• Feed the grass into the juicer in a continuous motion. Quickly prepare the next
handful of grass to feed in right behind the first. Consider that each bunch of
grass is pressed through by the following bunch.
• For best results, try not to feed in too much or too little grass at a time. Too
much may clog the machine. Waiting too long between feeding in grass or
putting in too little will result in inefficient juicing.
• It should not be necessary to run the pulp through the juicer a second time as it
comes out relatively dry and putting it through again may produce unwanted
foam. However, if the pulp is moist and you want to put it through a second
time, the motor can handle it.
• We recommend pouring the juice through a fine-mesh stainless steel strainer to
remove any excess pulp prior to serving.

Disassembling Your Juicer:
1 Before disassembling the juicer, let the machine run for an additional minute until
all or most of the pulp has been pushed through.
2 Shut the motor. Never try to disassemble your machine while the motor is
running.
3 Try to loosen the locking ring (#7 by hand in a clockwise direction. If this is too
hard, use the enclosed wrench (#10 . Place wrench such that arm extends to the
right horizontally while you are facing the front of the pulp outlet. Push down.
Practice screwing and unscrewing the outlet a few times. It is done opposite
of what you might expect!
4 Remove gasket from inside locking ring.
5 Remove grinding auger and bushing from inside juicer body. If bushing comes
out, that is fine; if it stays snug in place, leave it there.
6 Loosen key lock and remove juicer body from motor.
7 Remove screen from juicer body. If screen gets stuck, do not use pliers to pull it
out of the body. Instead, use a screwdriver to push it out by maneuvering it in
through the back and into the slot in the strainer. Normally it should be pulled out
by pressing your thumb on it and pulling out.
Cleaning Your Juicer:
We suggest that stores wash, dry and reassemble the juicer
immediately to avoid losing parts.
1 Wash all parts by hand with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. A baby bottle
brush works well to clean the inside of the juicer body.
2 Dry parts with towel.
3 Lightly sponge clean the motor base; do not pour water into motor or submerge it
in water.
4 Reassemble the juicer.
