just above the rounder entry point under the
S/S safety cover

Fill the S/S trough to the top with water.

Always ensure the water trough is full at all
times.

Turn the on off tap to open, the water will then

start to flow down towards the exit pipes.

You can regulate the flow of water by adjusting

the black regulators near to where the water
exits the two white tubes. When the meat ball

water off with the main tap. The water feeder
is necessary mainly for a very sticky product
to allow easy rolling through the rounding
rollers. If for instance it is a meat product with
little additives added it may work well without
the water feeder.
