9) Place the intake tube into the wine to be filtered. Next place your out-take tube and the small tube
attached to the drip tray into your container which will hold your filtered wine. Upon commencing your
filtration the wine will push out the water that remains in the pad via your out-take tube. Allow the
water to flow out prior to placing the hose into the container which will hold your filtered wine. If you
desire, you may place the tube attached to the drip tray into a separate container and re-filter this
wine at the end.
10) You are now ready to filter. Plug in the cord and turn on the switch located at the rear of the filter.
11) The pump may initially be dry, and will not draw the wine quickly. If this happens, force some wine
using the intake tube, into the pump.
12) For your convenience you may use the pump for racking. For set up, follow the same directions as
suggested for cleaning your pump (bypassing the filter plates).
Warning: This feature must NOT be used if there are solids in the wine i.e. oak chips, elderberries,
etc...Warranty will be void.
MAINTENANCE
When you have finished, CLEAN your PUMP. It is important to keep your filter clean. Never use
aggressive cleaning products!
1) Remove the short tube which had been placed on the fitting under the drip tray. Disconnect the
short tube which leads from the pump to your first filtering plate and attach the drip tray tube to the
outlet portion of the pump, leaving your intake tube connected to your pump. You now have a direct
line through your pump, bypassing the filter plates. Pump clean cold water through your pump. Place
your intake tube into approx. 15 litres or 3 gallons of clean water and your out-take tube in an empty
container. Turn on the pump, allowing the clean water to flush out the pump.
2) UNPLUG THE MOTOR.
3) Remove your filtering plates and hoses and clean. When cleaning your drip tray be VERY CAREFUL.
Do not allow any water to get into the motor section.
4) From time to time, place some petroleum jelly on the threaded portion of the two side bolts,
keeping them lubricated.

SUGGESTIONS FOR GOOD FILTRATION
A) Filtration is the last step in wine making. Its purpose is to further clarify the wine and to help
remove unnecessary byproducts and a high percentage of yeast in the wine.
B) In order to achieve optimal results, we suggest that a waiting period of at least 5 days takes place
between filtrations, as you progress to tighter pads (lower micron size).
C) To further enhance and maintain your wine it should be properly balanced and stabilized before
filtering. It is a good rule to add (10 gr.) Metabisulphite and (10 gr.) Vitamin C for each 91 litres (20
gallons) of wine.
