| − | The Expobar Office Lever is a single boiler prosumer espresso machine equipped with a vibration pump. The machine is perfect for casual commercial use or home use. As with all Expobar machines, the Expobar Office Lever comes with a chrome-plated brass E-61 brew group that has been proven to excel at maintaining stable brewing temperature. The machine also features a commercial style steam wand assembly. The Office Lever is outfitted with a heat exchange boiler that utilizes a 1250-watt heating element. It has a body made of heavy-gauge polished stainless steel. It features a passive cup warmer and a large drip tray. The Expobar Office Lever has a large 90oz reservoir with an optional water softener. The water tank can be removed for hassle-free refilling and maintenance. The current version of the Office Lever features both a brew and a steam gauge, while older models will only have a steam gauge. The machine is also available in a Plus version which features the option to plumb.

| − | ===Pre-Infusing===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This machine utilizes the same group style as an [[Expobar Brewtus IV]], so the same pre-infusion procedure can be applied.

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Reading The Brew Gauge===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The brew pressure gauge is only meaningful when the machine is actively brewing. While the machine is standing by the gauge may move around, sit at zero, or show the the circuit is pressurized; this does not mean anything. This gauge is only accurate while the brew circuit is activated during brewing. A simple test of the machine's brew pressure can be completed by using the backflush disc.
| + | |
| − | #Insert the backflush disc into the portafilter and attach it to the machine.
| + | |
| − | #Activate the brew function. The gauge will fall to zero, and then begin pressurizing.
| + | |
| − | #After about 10-15 seconds the pressure should read 8-11 Bar pressure. If your machine does this then there is nothing wrong with the brew function or brew gauge, the machine is operating to spec.

| |
| − | |lever_leak_instr = A blowout of the lever assembly can be seen on p.13 of the machine's parts diagram. The o-rings that will need to be checked are listed as part 9 and part 8 on this page.
| |
| − | ###To access these o-rings remove the end cap of the lever assembly using a flathead screwdriver.
| |
| − | ###Once this is removed the other components of the grouphead assembly can begin to be slipped off. The bolts that the lever slides into can be removed with open ended wrenches or an adjustable wrench.
| |
| − | ###Inspect the o-rings and make sure they are not damaged. It's possible that they are just dirty and need to be cleaned off and reseated. If they are damaged, broken, or shows signs of chaffing then they will need to be replaced.
| |
| − | ###Inspect the valve components well to make sure they are intact.
| |
| − | ###Reassemble the components and see if leaking is resolved.
| |
| − | |top_valve_leak_instr = A blowout of the top valve assembly, known as the mushroom or trumpet valve, can be found on p.13 of the machine's parts diagram. There are a few components which can be contributing to the leaking. There are two o-rings, listed as parts 1 and 4 on this page of the diagram. There is also a valve assembly shown as assembly 6 on the same page.
| |
| − | ###To access these parts use an open ended wrench or adjustable wrench to remove the smaller top bolt of the E-61. This will give you access to the first o-ring and spring assembly.
| |
| − | ###To access further down into this part of the grouphead use a wrench to remove the large bolt. This will let you access the other o-ring, another spring assembly, and the other valve assembly.
| |
| − | ###Inspect all of these components for integrity. Clean any dirty parts and replace any broken parts.
| |
| − | ###Reassemble the grouphead and see if the leaking is resolved.
| |
| − | |bottom_valve_leak_instr = A blowout of the bottom valve assembly, known as the release valve, can be found on p.13 of the machine's parts diagram. There are two o-rings in this assembly, listed as parts 4 and 14 on the diagram, and two valve assemblies, listed as assemblies 10 and 12 on the diagram, that can be causing the leak.
| |
| − | ###To access these parts use an open ended wrench or adjustable wrench to remove the smaller bottom bolt. You will be able to access part 14, the o-ring, and assembly 12, one of the valve assemblies. Inspect the parts. If they are dirty clean them off, if they are broken replace them.
| |
| − | ###To access the next o-ring and valve assembly use a wrench to remove the larger of the bolts. Again, inspect the parts for cleanliness and damage. Clean or replace as needed.
| |
| − | ###Reassemble the release valve and test to see if the leaking is resolved.
| |
| − | |E61_group_cleaning_instr = Instructions for cleaning the entire E-61 can be found by clicking [http://coffeetimex.wikidot.com/e61-group-servicing here].
| |
| − | |E61_attach_instr = There are two possible reasons for the machine to be leaking from here.
| |
| − | ##The first is that one of the plumb lines connected to the back of the E-61 is not secure resulting in a leak. This will need to be tightened from the inside of the machine. You may see leaking from the bottom of the machine as well if this is the case. Remove the top of the machine and look towards the front of the machine. These lines will be located on the back of the faceplate, opposite to where the grouphead is seated. They are listed as parts 19 and 11 on p.9 of the machine's parts diagram. Use an open ended wrench or adjustable wrench to tighten these down. If the leaking persists you may need to apply white teflon plumbers tape or a sealing compound such as food safe permabond.
| |
| − | ##The other possibility is that the E-61 group chassis gasket is not sealing tightly, or is worn out or damaged and will need to be replaced. The chassis gasket is listed as part 20 on p.13 of the parts diagram. There are two bolts which secure the E-61 to the machine chassis, causing it to press on the gasket and create a seal. First try tightening these two bolts down.[[File:EXPOBAR BREWTUS IV Securing Bolts.JPG|480px|thumbnail|center|E-61 Securing Bolts]] If tightening these bolts does not resolve the leak, then the chassis gasket will need to be replaced.
