Operating Instructions
After receiving the product please inspect the box for any damage, open and inspect the
sausage stuffer for any obvious damage please do not operate if there is damage found.
Immediately contact the carrier and notify the manufacturer.
Like any other electric appliance you should familiarize yourself with the location of ON and
OFF switches, circuit breaker, operation procedures, cautions and warnings; and use it for
its intended use only. Please review these instructions and enjoy the use of this Sausage
Stuffer. If at any time you have questions about this appliance, please contact the manufac-
ture.
This sausage stuffer is shipped with the piston in the fully lowered position, to raise the pis-
ton plug the power cord into a serviceable approved 110 volt 60hertz outlet. Place the foot
control pad in a dry comfortable position and place your foot on the pad and apply pressure
to the up pedal, the piston will begin to rise. By removing your foot from the control pad the
unit will stop. This unit has a built in regenerating control so that there will be no damage to
the motor assembly when going to the UP position or the DOWN position allowing you to
have complete control at all times when lling sausage casings. This unit will automatically
stop when the piston has reached its full extension UP or DOWN or if you have removed
your foot from the control pad. When you’re nished lowering the piston, the “Auto Up”
button will automatically raise the piston to the fully raised position so that you will not need
to hold down the UP switch/pedal. If the foot pedal malfunctions the motorized stiffer can
still be used by plugging in the manual override adaptor and using the “UP” and “Down”
buttons. When using the “Auto up” switch with the manual override adaptor, make sure the
manual override button is in the middle position
NOTE: UNIT SHOULD BE PERMANENTLY MOUNTED TO A BENCH TABLE FOR BEST
PERFORMANCE.
1. Select the proper stufng tube for the size casing you are going to ll. Follow the
casing manufacture guidelines for ushing or the need to soak the casings.
2. Grind and mix your seasonings per instructions and then place the meat into the
Stainless steel cylinder making sure not to create air pockets
TIP: PUT 3-5 POUNDS IN AT A TIME AND PRESS OR PUNCH MEAT INTO
CYLINDER TO ELIMINATE ANY AIR POCKETS.
3. This stuffer is equipped with a pressure relief valve located on the piston, it should be
checked for movement approximately 3/16 up and down. This will also help to prevent
blow outs in the casing.
4. Put the stuffer cylinder in place; making sure it’s locked under the pillar ears and then
line the cylinder up with the piston. Push the down side of the foot pad, the piston will
start to come down. If the piston is coming down too fast use the knob on the side of
the motorized box to adjust to a comfortable speed. If you need to stop at any time
simply lift your foot off the pedal, and to resume stufng push back down on the foot
pedal. While lling the casing keep an eye on the remainder of casing to be lled,
when you are about done lling remove your foot from the foot pad, the piston will

stop, however pressure that is in the cylinder will allow more meat to come out from the
stuffer, this is where going to reverse helps to stop the ow of meat and allows you to
replenish the casing without loosing meat. Again, you will need to adjust the speed to a set-
ting that is most comfortable for you. The time you save, and the ease of operation is well
worth the cost of the motorized sausage stuffer.
Troubleshooting
If there is a power supply failure how can I operate the sausage stuffer?
1. Turn ON-OFF switch to OFF, disconnect electrical power from 110volt source.
2. Remove cover assembly by removing thumb screws.
3. Loosen up the 4 motor bolts and slide the motor assembly to the left and
remove the drive chain
4. Uninstall drive sprocket using 5/32” Allen wrench.
5. Install replacement handle on the gear shaft and use manually.
6. If there was a power failure and power is now available, remove the
replacement handle and reassemble the drive sprocket, drive chain, and motor.
If my foot pedal stops working but there is still power, how can I operate the motor?
Prior to assuming the pedal is broken, make sure the speed control is not turned
all of the way down because this is the off position for the speed control. If this
does not work, the motor can still be operated by using the manual override but-
tons. First you must unplug the foot pedal and plug in the override adapter. Then
you can use the manual override buttons to raise and lower the pistons using the
UP and DOWN buttons respectively.
How do I use my stuffer?
When the meat has been mixed with the spices and is ready for stufng, rst
attach the appropriate stufng tube to the stuffer. The size of the stufng tube
depends on the size of the casing being used—the casing should t over the end
of the stufng tube without much difculty. When using our 5, 15, 20, 25 or 30 lb.
stuffers, rst bring the piston all the way up, so that it is above the cylinder. The
cylinder can then be removed, lled with your meat, and replaced into the frame.
Next, lower the piston back down, forcing the meat into the casing.
When do I stuff the sausage?
When salt, spices and other ingredients are added to the meat; the mixture will
stiffen or “set up,” very much like cement. In this stage it becomes very difcult
to push the mixture through your stuffer, and will cause unnecessary wear on the
gears of a geared sausage stuffer. Therefore, we strongly recommend that the
meat mixture be packed into the sausage stuffer right after it is mixed and then
quickly stuffed into the casings while it is still easy to work with.

Troubleshooting, cont’d
Should I wash the white grease off of the at bar?
No. This grease you see is a food grade grease (item #31410) and is not harmful
if digested. Our stuffers have a food grade lubricating grease on its gears and the
at bar that is attached to the platen. The at bar should also be lubricated after
approximately every fth or sixth use.
How do I clean my sausage stuffer?
The 5, 15, 20, 25, and 30 lb. stuffer cylinders and pistons should be washed with
a mild dish detergent and hot water before the rst use and after every sub-
sequent use. Be sure to allow the stuffer and all parts to dry thoroughly before
storing.
Cleaning
When you are done stufng sausage, ensure that the piston is at its fully raised position
and then remove the cylinder, piston and stufng tube. The cylinder, piston and stufng
tubes are dishwasher safe. Remove any large parts of meat from items and wash us-
ing a mild dishwashing detergent, wipe down the complete sausage stuffer with a damp
sponge or towel and air dry. Keep the jackshaft, and piston o-ring lubricated with food grade
grease, DO NOT USE A PETROLEUM type GREASE or hard abrasives. Contact the Sau-
sagemaker Inc for cleaning supplies or lubrication grease.
