CARE & MAINTENANCE
QUICK CLEANING
Option 1: Rinse extractor out with cold water from a hose. If available, a pressure
washer is very eective. Empty excess water to prevent possible surface rust.
Option 2: Place open extractor next to hive. Bees will clean it out and use the
materials.
IN-DEPTH CLEANING
Disassemble extractor (see Disassembly instructions). Using mild dish soap and
warm water, scrub drum and basket clean. Completely rinse the parts and dry with a
so cloth. Reassemble the extractor when dry.
NOTE: PLEASE AVOID GETTING MOTOR AND CONTROLLER WET AS THE ELECTRONIC
COMPONENTS ARE NOT FULLY WATERPROOF
CARE
• When not in use, store the extractor in a dry place. Although stainless steel
is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, light surface rust can form in wet
conditions.
• If surface rust forms, clean with a light abrasive to remove rust.
• If the extractor begins making squeaking noises, lightly lubricate all bearings
with a food safe grease or oil. Wipe away any excess.
• If the roller bearing in the crank sha support block does not turn freely,
lubricate with a light grease (such as white lithium) or oil.
• The gearbox is permanently sealed and requires no maintenance.
(Large frames only) Once the frames have been emptied on one
side, remove the frames, turn the frames around, and place them
back in the extractor. Repeat step 2, then remove the frames from
the extractor.
STEP 4
With the drain positioned over a bucket or other container, open
the honey gate to begin draining honey. Tip the extractor forward
to drain as much honey as possible.
STEP 5
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
With the control dial set to “0” and power switch set to o (O),
plug the power cord into a standard AC wall outlet.
STEP 1
STEP 2 Place honey frames in extractor basket. Load either two or four
sides to keep extractor balanced as this will reduce any possible
shaking. Small and medium size frames can be placed radially in
the extractor basket, allowing both sides to be drained at once.
STEP 3 Close both lids to engage safety switches. Flip the power switch
to the on (I) position, and turn the dial until the basket is spinning
at the desired speed. The front lid has a built in safety switch that
will cut power the moment it is opened, and power will not be
restored until lid is closed. Turn the dial back to “0” when frames
have been emptied and remove the frames from the extractor.
DISASSEMBLY
To disassemble the extractor, remove the four cap nuts on the top of the extractor
(two on each side), then pull the top brace up and o. The basket can then be lied
out.
A steel ball bearing rests below the basket sha to improve rotation. Set this aside in
a safe place (such as a cup) so it does not roll away and become lost.
