After this, put the mesh screen (14) into the pan (12) and fix it with clips (15) as
shown above.
2.3. Operation
Before turning on the machine, first add flossugar to the spinning head,
approximately ¾ full. The minimum recommendation is 1/3 full at all times.
Manually rotate the head in order to distribute the sugar evenly.
You will need sticks, rods or cones to spin above the machine to collect the
cotton floss as it is produced. These can be made of wood, paper or plastic.
Wood sticks and plastic straws should be soaked in water first in order to create
better adhesion for the floss.
Turn on the motor switch and the spinning head will begin to rotate.
VIBRATION OF THE SPRING MOUNTED CHASSIS DURING FLOSS HEAD ACCELLERATION AND
DECELERATION IS NORMAL!
Next, turn on the heater switch, and use the adjustment knob to set operating
voltage
. Normal operating voltage is 150-160 Volts. On Twister machine, which
doesn’t have a voltmeter, operator should follow marks around the knob.
Clockwise rotation is for increasing voltage and vice versa.
Depending on conditions, it will take about 1 minute to warm up the head to
operating temperature. You will usually smell the candy aroma between 10 to
15 seconds before production begins.
When setting up at a new location, the power level must be adjusted according to the
environmental conditions. If cotton candy comes out too slow, increase the voltage slightly.
Alternatively, decreasing voltage will slow production. When you change locations or if the
temperature or humidity changes later in the day (if working outdoors) then you may need to
make additional adjustments.
