I unscrewed the nob at the top of the salt and the created a space by pulling the saltUnit from the pepper unit I was the able to pour some peppercorns in the lower unit. There was not aLot of spaceAnd I cuppedMy hand around the units to help guide the peppercorns in. I then pushed the units together refilledThe saltAnd replacedTo top knob.

The salt part definitely separates from the pepper, but can get stuck. I think the salt gets between the plastic and metal rod. I usually loosens with a few tries.

Make sure you have the ampen with the remove able tip, I have a older one that the tip is not removable and they look the same. If so follow what Tom Buchanan posted before me.

Cut pepper in small enough pieces to fit in chopper. Then just quickly switch on/off...don't let it run til the peppers are mushy. Hope this helps.

I had to empty my salt out but I put in the Kosher salt and it works perfectly. If the coarse pepper is the same size as Kosher salt it would work.

Linda, I really don't know what to tell you but why not try a little olive oil and twist and turn and pull. I know that sounds stupid. I can tell you that I always leave the top off a little to make it easier for when I do need the pepper!! Hope you get the base off so you can enjoy it. I really love mine and it makes a great conversation piece in my kitchen!! Lori

You only need the one that's not working. If you have 3 pressures, replace the one that is not showing

yes for some reason the air is coming out by the trigger and no air is coming out of the tip, anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

I had the same problem on one of the three I bought. I just put some thick gas rated Teflon tape. Mine was just slightly to big. If it's just way to off send it back

Did you buy it via Amazon, or one of their sellers? I would contact them as it should be under warranty.The only issue I ever have is with my salt grinder if I use the wet grey sea salt as it does gunk up the mechanism. But no problem with pepper grinder using tellicherry. We've used ours for several years now, but it needs to be refilled often.

I unscrew the bottom part (the silver area) then you will see a silver wire to lift up and turn. That's the hard part. I usually get my husband to do that. This will pull the battery part out. then fill the pepper to the red fill line you can see inside.

It is loose when the chamber is empty. As soon as you fill it with peppercorns you will feel the resistance when you turn the handle. The adjustment for the grind is on the bottom of the pepper mill.

I would seriously look for another tri-pod. This is dangerous to use. Plastic parts. Find another. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Kirklands-King-Eagle-Diner/540891229327446?ref=hl

I got mine the same exact way -- bubble wrapped, no box, few peppercorns inside. Trying to refill with peppercorns is impossible -- I can't get the center spindle out, so have to put just a few peppercorns at a time into the chamber to refill. Really ridiculous contraption. If the center spindle is meant to come out, they need to provide directions on how to do that, mine would require a hammer and pliers, and that would probably break the unit. Plus the chamber is really little, so it only holds about two tablespoons of peppercorns. I like to add freshly ground pepper to recipes, so each refill doesn't go very far.

I wish I could help you but it works normal for me. I made homemade chili yesterday & it opened the tomato sauce, paste & died tomatoes fine. I did have a little trouble maneuvering to open large can of light kidney beans but I had the same problem with my other normal size opener.

Remove the cap. Pull it and then you will find the space or hole for fill the pepper

Just regular black peppercorns is what I use. Try loosing the brass nut at the top. If it feels tight, then it won't grind. It should be a little loose.
