PACKAGE CONTENTS
ASSEMBLY STEPS
STEP 1
Assemble Upper Legs (B) and Lower Legs (C) in one of the two height settings
using M8x16 Hex Head Screws (S-C) M8 Washers (S-E) and M8 Lock Washers (SD).
STEP 2
Mount leg assemblies to Drum (A) using M8x25 Hex Head Screws (S-A) and M8x20
Hex Head Screws (S-B) with M8 Washers (S-E), M8 Lock Washers (S-D) and M8
Plastic Knobs (S-F).
STEP 3
Carefully cut the zaptiehs securing the basket to the upper crossbar in Drum
(A). Remove the nuts from the top of the crossbar and carefully remove the
crossbar and basket from Drum (A).
STEP 4
Install Honey Gate (E) in Drum (A) and reinstall the basket and crossbar to
Drum(A).
STEP 5
Line up holes in Lids (D) with the hinges in the crossbar of Drum (A) and
secure using M4x10 Screws (S-H) and M4 Nuts (S-I).
NOTE: Lids (D) must be installed properly and in the down position to
engage the safety switches and allow the motor to turn on. Each lid has a
built in safety latch that will cut power the moment it is opened.
STEP 6 (Optional)
For added security, Concrete Anchors (S-G) can be use to secure the extractor
to the floor.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1
With the control dial set to “0” and power switch set to off (O), plug the
power cord into a standard AC wall outlet.
STEP 2
Place honey frames in extractor basket. Load three sides to keep extractor
balanced as this will reduce any possible shaking.
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.
STEP 4
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 5
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.
WARNING: KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF MOVING PARTS TO REDUCE RISK OF INJURY
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 off. The basket
can then be lifted out.
A steel ball bearing rests below the basket shaft to improve rotation. Set
this aside in a safe place (such as a cup) so it does not roll away and become
lost.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
QUICK CLEANING
Option 1: Rinse extractor out with cold water from a hose. If available, a
pressure washer is very effective. 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 soft cloth. Reassemble the extractor when dry.
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 shaft 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.
WARRANTY

the machine, please contact us directly. We have a 30 Day Return Policy.
