ALWAYS In the upright position. The most common cause for air in the system or the slow leak of pressure is transportation

ALWAYS store with release valve in full closed “clockwise “ tight position.

ALWAYS with plates together tight under pressure.

if you do find that you have air in the system this is how you can fix it.

If your Nugsmasher is not holding pressure it is most likely that you have air in the system and your Nugsmasher must purged of air (BLEED) this typically occurs when the unit has been transported or has had a real rough shipment to bleed your Nugsmasher it is a very easy process.

First step is to bleed your unit, pump it so the plates are together with pressure then flip it upside down on its top and release knob ¼ turn counter clockwise to release pressure and drop plates. Please do not turn release knob more than ¼ turn counter clockwise. Re-tighten release valve snug then turn it back over and give it a try. You may need to do this process a couple times but should solve loss of pressure issue. you can always email or call us for more help email
