• Your release knob is packaged in foam near the heat plates and will be installed on the right side of unit towards bottom of press.
• Notice the keyed end of the release valve as it slides through side of unit and can be installed easily by looking at rear of machine under manual handle sticker.
• Rotating release knob clockwise till it is tight will allow press plates to be raised via manual handle or pneumatically with 90-100 psi air compressor (3-5) gallon small compressor is ideal. Using a water separator is recommended to minimize any water from entering the unit.
• Rotating release knob counter clockwise will allow plates to separate and open – never open beyond one-half turn to release plates as damage and loss of fluid may occur.

KEEP RELEASE VALVE IN CLOSED “CLOCKWISE POSITION” WHEN NOT IN USE

Please note that under any circumstances do not turn release valve more then ½ a turn in the open (counter clockwise) direction as this will void your warranty and may result in hydraulic fluid loss. Also make sure when not in use or stored, the release valve must be in closed tight (clockwise) position.

• WARNING!
  Never turn your release knob more than ½ full turn counter clock wise from tight.

• Please Note:
  Your release knob is factory designed to be a slight upward.

Before your unit is turned on, (If using as manual operated pump) insert handle into rear inset opening on left side of unit. Notice there is a round tube that your shaft handle will be inserted into for plate compression operation and a ¼-20 set screw to hold in place.

• Set power switch to the “on” position (red circle). You will notice on your control screen there are two rows of digits.
• The top is the current temperature of the heat plates. The bottom is the set temperature. The Pro comes preset at 200 degrees Fahrenheit and will take approximately 10-12 minutes to reach set temperature depending on your location. The NugSmasher® Pro has 3 heating elements in each plate and top and bottom plates are individually controlled by your PID controllers, it is recommended you keep top and bottom plates at same temperature for best results.

Adjusting Temperature

Press the up or down arrows (green circles) to select desired temperature setting. Once you have changed to your desired temperature press the enter button (red circles) once to lock in temperature. It is not advised to go into any other programming modes as your unit has been factory preset for optimum settings.

Partial application wiring method

The wiring method of the input signal

If the input wiring error, sensor damage, over-range or Int settings and input sensor types are inconsistent, there will be “orAL” warning flicker, After these faults need to be eliminated, the PV can measure the display normally.

Main control output wiring method

The NugSmasher® Pro can be used with a manual pump handle or pneumatic operation with push button actuation of plates. The NugSmasher® Pro requires a compressor (not included) with a minimum psi of 100 psi and 3-5 gallon air capacity. Note the larger the supply tank the less you will have your compressor cycling on and off. Attach compressor and airline to input line which comes rolled up and recessed on rear inset panel on right side of machine.

Ideal Temperature:
The ideal pressure and temperature will vary depending on strain and growing techniques so don’t be discouraged on your results when you press new material. We recommend when pressing a new strain to start at approx. 220 degrees for flower and notate your yield results (weight of material in vs. rosin out). Perform additional test presses and drop 5-7 degrees per press until you notice your yield percentage starting to drop. Adjust back to the previous temp and that will be your ideal temp for that strain. It is advised to have a thermal temp gun to verify and check temperatures from time to time. Use our temperature test strips included with your unit (also available for purchase at NugSmasher®.com), unless in a pinch use a small piece of electrical tape as the high gloss on heat plates will affect accurate temp readings if using a thermal temp gun. (As shown in Illustration)

Pressure:
Once your unit reaches set temperature you’re ready to start pressing. Once you have your material between parchment paper -do not use wax paper!-, slowly start raising plates. It is key to do this slowly to properly build heat into your material. The entire pressing process should be between 90- 120 seconds depending on your strain. Your NugSmasher® Pro is most capable of over pressing your material as the mistake made most with new extractors. See, NugSmasher®.com/tools/calculator tool for pressure calculations for your NugSmasher® Pro. There are several videos available online on the NugSmasher® social Instagram account as well as the NugSmasher® YouTube channel that are very beneficial for techniques and tips of your rosin extraction. Note: Do not use other leverage device or foot to push manual handle down as you will cause damage not covered by warranty.

Loading Micron Bags:
NugSmasher® extraction bags, are recommended for optimal yield and clean quality rosin. Our bags are hand-made and packaged in the USA! NugSmasher® extraction bags are specifically designed to work with the weight of fresh cured flower and are labeled accordingly at: 3.5 g (1.1g-3.5g), 7 g (3.6g-7g) and 14 g (7.1g-14g). This assumes the bags are loaded (BTS) or bottle/barrel- tech style (upright so that you end up with the round coin like puck once fully pressed). This perfected method allows you the ability to put the proper weight of flower into the bag and get a consistent extraction every time. This method also applies the proper pounds per square inch of pressure (PSI) on your product and eliminates the guess work.

• 3.5g bag (1.1g-3.5g) = 1.5”-1.6”
• Diameter 7g bag (3.6g-7g) = 2”-2.2”
• Diameter 14g bag (7.1g-14g) =2.4”-2.7”
• Diameter
• Remember
• “Fire in fire out!”

As the micron gets smaller the diameter gets larger, this is the reason for the variance in the diameter numbers above. We prefer to use 160 micron for fresh flower, as flower dries we go down in micron screen size (for dry flower use 90 micron). Micron size determines the diameter (surface area) of the smashed bag. For nugs 1g and smaller no bag is necessary.

Gauge Pressure

Gauge Pressure:
Gauge pressure (psi) is measured from the hydraulic rams fluid pressure. This is the applied pressure and should be adjusted to the surface area to achieve optimum results.

Surface Area Key

• NugSmasher® extraction bags, our bags are recommended or optimal yield and clean quality rosin. NugSmasher® extraction bags are specifically designed to work with the weight of fresh cured flower together with our extraction machines and are labeled accordingly at: 3.5g, 7g and 14g this assumes the bags are loaded (BTS) or bottle/barrel-tech style (upright so that you end up with the round coin like puck once fully pressed).
• This perfected method allows you the ability to put the proper eight of flower into the bag and get a consistent extraction very time. The reason for this is that it allows for the proper pounds per square inch, pressure (PSI) on your product and eliminates the guess work.
  • 3.5g = 1.5” Diameter = 1.77” in surface area
  • 7g = 2”-2.2”Diameter= 3.14” in surface area
  • 14g=2.4”-2.7”Diameter= 4.91” in surface area.
• We prefer to use 160 micron for fresh flower, as flower dries we go down in micron screen size (for dry flower use 90 micron).
• NOTE: As the micron gets smaller the diameter get slightly larger.
• Example: 90 micron is about 5% larger at the end of your extraction.

EXTRACTION EXAMPLE:

One 14g Bag

• Plate Pressure
• 750 PSI
• There is only one 3.5g bag that has the total surface area of around 1.77in2.
• Gauge Pressure
• 1074 PSI
• To extract your material at 750 PSI with a surface area of 1.77in (one 14g bag) it would equal 1074 PSI on your gauge.

Four 14g Bags

• Plate Pressure
• 750 PSI
• There are two 3.5g bags
• that has a total combined surface area of around 3.54in2.
• Gauge Pressure
• 4298 PSI
• To extract your material at 750 PSI with a surface area of 3.54in2 (1.77in2 for each 14g bag) you would need 4298 PSI on your gauge.

The same shall also apply to the case even if NugSmasher® had been notified of the  possibility of arising damages in advance. As an example, we shall not be liable for any loss of material made using this product or indirect damages caused by the product.
• Use of your NugSmasher® press should be done in accordance with all local, state and federal regulations. It is owner/users responsibility to know and understand laws and regulations regarding concentrates. NugSmasher® has no responsibility of how product is used and products produced with it.
• Keep away from children, pets and clothing.
• Never leave the extractor on when you go to sleep or leave the area.
• Never use or store flammable liquids (such as gasoline) around the extractor. The flammable vapors can flow from one part of the room to another and be ignited by an electrical spark.
• Place at least three feet away from objects such as bedding, furniture and drapes. Do not place where towels or other objects could fall on the extractor and start a fire.
• Use extractor on the floor or bench top. Never place on furniture, since unit may fall , which could result in a fire or shock hazard. Do not use in wet or moist places, such as bathrooms; corrosion or other damage to parts in the unit may lead to a fire or shock hazard.
• Do not hide cords under rugs or carpets. Placing anything on top of the cord or unit as it could cause the cord or machine to overheat, and can cause a fire.
• Do not use an extension cord unless absolutely necessary. Using a light-duty, household extension cord with high-wattage appliances can start a fire. If you must use an extension cord, it must be marked #14 or #12 AWG; this tells the thickness or gauge of the wire in the cord. Do not use a cord marked #16 or #18 AWG. Only use extension cords bearing the label of an independent testing laboratory such a U.L. or E.T.L.
• Be sure the plug fits snugly in the outlet. Since a loose plug can overheat, have a qualified repairman replace the worn-out plug or outlet. Since extractor draw lots of power, the cord and plug may feel warm. If the plug feels hot, unplug the heater and have a qualified repairman check for problems. Using an extractor with a hot cord or plug could start a fire.
• If a extractor is used on an outlet protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) and the GFCI trips, do not assume the GFCI is broken. Because GFCls protect the location where leakage currents can cause a severe shock, stop using the extractor and have it checked, even it if seems to be working properly.
• Broken extractor should be checked and repaired by a qualified service center. Do not attempt to repair, adjust or replace parts yourself as this will void warranty.
