Calibration
Set Brix cup under dispenser and dispense 47 shots
of mustard into cup. Allow the lever to return fully
after each shot. 47 shots will dispense 1 fl.oz. (30
ml) of mustard into the Brix cup. If the amount of
mustard dispensed into the cup is above or below 1
fl.oz. (30 ml), move adjusting cam from hole #3 to
hole #2 to DECREASE volume, or move to hole #4
to INCREASE the amount of mustard dispensed.
Repeat this adjustment until dispenser is calibrated.
IMPORTANT: The lower numbered holes dispense less
mustard. The higher numbered holes dispense more
mustard. For all hole number settings, the arrow mark on
the side of the adjusting cam must always point towards
the handle of the dispenser.

1. Empty mustard from dispenser and discard.
2. Fill dispenser with warm water. Repeatedly press
actuating lever to pump water and flush out dis-
penser.

down on the lever and the piston push rod. Slide the
lever out of the “T” shaped hole in the container.
Remove the adjusting cam.
4. Lift the push rod and the spring assembly straight up

5. Separate all internal parts to clean thoroughly.
Wash the container and all loose internal parts in a
solution of warm water and McDonald’s All Purpose

6. Rinse all loose parts and the container with running
water.
7. Sanitize dispenser. Use 1 packet of McDonald’s
Sanitizer (HCS) to a 2-1/2 gallons (8.5 l) of warm
water).
8. Let air dry.
IMPORTANT: Do not reassemble dispenser until it is
ready to be used the next day.
8. The mustard dispenser, must be primed before
using. Press down on lever several times (approxi-
mately 20) to completely prime.
9. Wipe the bottom of the dispenser with a clean, moist
hand towel after priming.

cylinder area, the dispenser will not dispense the correct
amount of mustard, and mustard will drip after each shot.
To release trapped air, remove lever and cam, and gently
pull out piston push rod and all assembled parts. Repeat
steps 4 thru 8 to reassemble. If necessary, empty some
of the mustard already in container before reassembling.
