BUON VINO SUPER JET INSTRUCTION  

Fall Bright, The Winemakers Shoppe 

Caution:  As with any new and dry priming pump, pour some water into the intake hose before flipping the switch.   Do not run dry, or run while switching between carboys, as that increases oxidation of the wine.  

Insert the clear hose with the short white plastic end piece, or drainage tube (no. 1 diagram) to the fitting marked “A” in diagram.

Insert the clear hose with the red anti-sediment tip or intake hose (no. 2 in diagram) to the fitting on pump marked B in the diagram.

Detach the 2 white clamps located on the frame next to the motor.  (Slide each side in opposite directions at the point where the clamp joins).  Place on each of the fittings to ensure against air intake or leakage.  A set of pliers may be used to tighten the clamp around the fitting if you cannot tighten with your fingers.  (Note: Once you hear a snap the clamp has tightened sufficiently.)

Loosen the filter body screw (no. 3 in the diagram) and remove the steel concave cover plate and the first three plastic filtering plates. The last plate will not come out.

Read filter pad description before continuing to be sure of which of the 3 Buon Vino pad set-ups you should use.  Also note gauge cautions.  

Using a clean container soak the filter pads in cold water for approximately 60 seconds.  Let them absorb water but do not over saturate.

Insert one of the pads making sure that the course side is facing towards the motor (see diagram).  Ensure the holes on the pads are aligned with the holes on the plastic plates.

Insert one of the two central plastic plates, making sure that the half moon on the top part of the plate lines up with the half moon on the non-removable plastic plate.  Insert the next pad and the second plate in the same manner, followed by the last pad and the plastic plate with the support pins.  Place the steel concave plate in position last

All 4 half moons should now be in a straight line, the three pads should all have the coarse side facing the motor, and all the holes should be aligned with the pads being as square to the plastic filtering plates as possible.

Tighten the filter body screw well in order to ensure an air tight closing.
Take care not to over tighten and crack the last plate.  This plate is  replaceable.

Insert your feeder tube (no.2) into the wine to be filtered and place your drainage tube (no.1) into a clean container, which will house your filtered wine.  You are now ready to filter. (NOTE: Depending on the wine, we may sacrifice the first 750 ml or bottle of wine as this includes the remains of the water from soaking pads or any meta rinses if used.)
