INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE WHEATEENA WORKHORSE II ELECTRIC WHEATGRASS
JUICER
Warning: Use of any tool on this equipment will void the warranty. Always unplug juicer before attempting to unclog or any time
fingers are near moving parts. Serious injury could result.
Preparation for use:
1. Disassemble Juicer: See Figure 1.
A. Remove lockring.
B. Remove feedscrew bearing, white washer and feedscrew.
C. Remove outlet screw
D. Remove strainer by pushing on strainer through outlet screw opening. Use a blunt object such as a
wooden spoon handle or dowel. An alternative method is to pry the strainer edges up gently with
a knife or other thin instrument, through the feedscrew bearing opening. Pull the strainer out with
your thumb while prying.
2. Clean Juicer: CAUTION DO NOT USE DISHWASHER
A. Clean all parts in a bath of warm soapy water to remove any lubricants used in manufacturing.
B. Dry thoroughly with a soft towel.
C. Use the petrol gel provided or any edible oil or grease to coat all the surfaces that are not tin plated.
This includes any threads or moving parts.
3. Assemble Juicer:
A. Insert strainer into the cylinder over the juice spout between the lower two ridges on the inside of
the cylinder. Push strainer into place by pushing down and forward.
B. Insert feedscrew.
C. Slip white washer onto the feedscrew shaft followed by the feedscrew bearing. Make sure the
polished side of the feedscrew bearing faces the white washer. Line up the groove on the
feedscrew bearing with the anti-rotation pin on the inside of the cylinder and slide into place.
D. Screw on lockring leaving it loose.
E. Screw in outlet screw leaving 2 to 3 threads exposed
4. Assemble the Juicer to the Drive Unit: See Figure 2
A. Make sure feedscrew shaft rotates easily inside the cylinder. This is only possible when lockring is
loose.
B. Line up the feedscrew shaft with the coupling opening and slip on juicing attachment support.
Turn motor switch on and press juicer gently towards drive unit. When the feedscrew shaft
engages in the coupling, turn switch off. Now turn the lockring until tight then back it off one half
to three quarters of a turn. Operating the juicer with the lockring and or outlet screw tight will
cause the juice to clog, stress the motor and cause unnecessary ware of the parts. Always start
the juicer with both the lockring and outlet screw loose.
5. Disassemble Juicer
A. Unplug juicer.
B. Unscrew the lockring completely. Grasp the juicer by the cylinder and pull away from the drive unit.
Dissemble all parts like described in step 1. and clean. Juicer must be cleaned at the end of
everyday of use to function efficiently.

OUTLET SCREW: FUNCTION & ADJUSTMENT
The outlet screw regulates the pressure applied to whatever you are juicing inside the cylinder. Turning the
outlet screw clockwise (right) increases pressure by reducing the outlet for pulp expulsion. Turning
counterclockwise (left) decreases pressure by enlarging outlet for pulp expulsion. The object is to secure the
maximum amount of juice with the driest pulp. Usually, exposing two or three threads is a good adjustment.
Over tightening of the outlet screw will cause the juicer to clog, will stress the motor and will cause
unnecessary ware on the parts. Experience is required for the best adjustment for different vegetation.
STRAINER
The strainer supplied is made of stainless steel, with holes suitable for most ordinary use. When extracting
large quantities of juice, the strainer should be removed occasionally and the wholes cleaned. For juicing
sprouts the optional large hole strainer can be ordered.
MOTOR
Always unplug the motor first in the event of a stall or clog. Failure to do so could result in serious injury. The
motor is equipped with automatic overload protection and will shut off if it gets too hot. If this happens
unplug immediately. If the machine stalls turn it off immediately and check for a clogged cylinder or strainer.
Often times this will happen if the outlet screw or lockring is on too tight.
NOTES
A. When the juicer is in place and motor on a small oscillating movement is normal.
B. The feedscrew will tend to polish or slightly rub the strainer during operation.
C. If dark material is formed during the initial operation make sure the bearing is lubricated and that
the lockring and outlet screw are not over tightened.
D. Always unplug unit from the electrical supply in the event of a clog, stall or shut down. Keep
fingers away from all moving parts.
