4.Using a mechanical spray bottle, prepare a sanitizing solution according to the manufacture’s directions and spray the entire interior bin surfaces. Allow to air dry.
CONNECTING PRODUCT TO THE DISPENSER
NOTE: All inlet connections are clearly marked with a label adjacent to the inlet connections.
NOTE: Always leak check all connections.
Post-Mix units must have syrup, carbonated water and plain water connected. The number of syrups will
depend on the number of valves on the dispenser. Refer to the plumbing diagram for details of the
hookup.
Pre-Mix units must have a pre-mix supply connected to each inlet for each valve supplied. Refer to
plumbing diagram for details of the hook-up.
NOTE: A plumbing diagram when supplied with the unit, can be found in the dispensing tower.
PREPARING FOR OPERATION
On units Without Electrically Operated Valves, Skip Steps 1 and 2 Below
1.Plug transformer into electrical outlet. The 24V supply must be connected in the dispensing tower.
2.Turn the key-switch to the ON position. The ice-bin lid must be closed to allow the valves to operate.
3.Adjust the CO
regulators as indicated in the following chart:

RegulatorPressure Setting
Primary (Carbonator) feed line to Carb secondary regulator90-120 PSI
Secondary, Sugared Syrup Tank55 PSI min.
Secondary, Diet Syrup Tank8-12 PSI
Secondary, B-I-B60 PSI min
4.Operate each valve until product is flowing.
5.Fill the bin with 32°F ice. DO NOT use ice taken directly from the freezer.
6.Adjust the brix (water-to-syrup ratio) for post-mix valves.
1.Remove valve cover and install syrup separator over the diffuser and through the nozzle.
2.Hold cup under valve and dispense beverage for a specific time (i.e. 2 seconds).
3.NOTE: Water and syrup must be cold before checking ratios.
4.Adjust carbonated water flow to the desired rate (such as 90 to 110 ml (3 to 3.75 oz.) per second).
Turn the flow adjuster 1/4 of a turn at a time and recheck the flow.
To increase reading turn clockwise.
5.Set syrup flow adjuster to get the desired ratio.
6.Test the valve and adjust until a consistent ratio is delivered three consecutive times.

TROUBLESHOOTING for Carbonator
TroubleProbable CauseRemedy
PUMP RUNS CONTINUOUSLY
A. Pump water supply restricted.
B. Pump discharge line restricted.
C. Inefficient or worn pump.
D. Overdrawing.
A. Check water filter and pump inlet
strainer and clean. NOTE: Noisy
pump operation usually indicates
restricted water supply. Also
check for faulty double check
valve, water leak or low pump
bypass.
B. Water inlet check valve may be
plugged. Remove, clean, or
replace rubber O-Rings.
C. To test for efficiency, disconnect
discharge line from pump. Connect a 300 pound gauge and
hand shut off valve to pump discharge. Start pump. Bleed off any
air, close hand valve then observe
pressure. If it is approximately
180 PSI, pump is O.K. If it is significantly below 180 PSI, it may
be increased by adjusting the
pump by-pass. Increasing the bypass is accomplished by removing sealing acorn cap and turning
the adjusting screw in. If pressure
rises to 180 PSI, pump is O.K. If it
is still below 150 PSI, and the
screw is turned all the way in, the
pump is worn. Replace. NOTE:
Abadly worn pump and/or premature failure usually indicates foreign material in the supply water.
Install a water filter in supply line.
Also check for faulty liquid level
control, corroded electrode, or
broken pump shaft.
D. Check capacity of pump. The
combined rate of flow from dispensing valves should not exceed
the stated GPH for pump, or
pump will run continuously.
