This is the safety-alert symbol. When you see this
symbol on our machine or in this manual, be alert to
the potentially of personal injury.
Follow recommended precautions and safe operating
practices.
Understand Signal Words
A signal word - DANGER, WARNING, OR CAUTION
is used with the safety-alert symbol. DANGER identi-
fies the most serious hazards.
DANGER
Safety signs with signal word DANGER or WARNING
are typically near specific hazards.
General precautions are listed on CAUTION safety
signs. CAUTION also calls attention to safety messages in this manual.
WARNING
CAUTION
Follow Safety Instructions
Carefully read all safety messages in this manual and on your machine safety signs. Keep safety signs in
good condition. Replace missing or damaged safety signs. Learn how to operate the machine and how to
use the controls properly. Do not let anyone operate the machine without instructions. Keep your machine in
proper working condition. Unauthorized modifications to the machine may impair function and/or safety and
affect the machine life.
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) Warning
CO2 Displaces Oxygen. Strict Attention must be observed in the prevention of CO2 (carbon dioxide)
gas leaks in the entire CO2 and soft drink system. If a CO2 gas leak is suspected, particularly in a
small area, immediately ventilate the contaminated area before attempting to repair the leak. Personnel exposed to high concentration of CO2 gas will experience tremors which are followed rapidly by
loss of consciousness and suffocation.
Shipping, Storing, Or Relocating Unit
CAUTION: Before shipping, storing, or relocating this Unit, the syrup systems must be sanitized and
all sanitizing solution must be purged from the syrup systems. All water must also be purged from
the plain and carbonated water systems. A freezing ambient temperature will cause residual water
remaining inside the Unit to freeze resulting in damage to internal components of the Unit.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
IMPORTANT: To the user of this manual - This manual is a guide for installing, operating, and
maintaining this equipment. Refer to Table of Contents for page location of detailed information
pertaining to questions that arise during installation, operation, service and maintenance, or
troubleshooting this equipment.
This section gives the description, theory of operation, and design data for the four-flavor Ice-Cooled
Chest-A-Field Dispenser (see Figure 1) hereafter referred to as Unit.
UNIT DESCRIPTION
The Unit is compact and lightweight and is easily set up on a countertop or may be set up as a portable
dispenser for special events.
Placing Unit on countertop, installation of LOOSE- SHIPPED PARTS, sanitizing cold plate cooling coils before
connecting product tanks, connection of product tanks, and filling Unit with ice is all that is required for
operation.
A 31-1/4 inches high Stand Assembly (P/N 264365069) is available to place the Unit on. Also available is a
Caster Kit (P/N 160367-000) to make the stand portable.
CAUTION: Before shipping, relocating, or storing Unit, cold plate cooling coils must be
sanitized and all sanitizing solution purged from coils and dispensing valves. Ice water and
ice must also be removed from inside Unit. A freezing ambient environment will cause
residual water remaining inside Unit to freeze resulting in damage to internal components.

THEORY OF OPERATION
A CO2 cylinder delivers carbon dioxide (CO2) gas through adjustable CO2 regulator to the product tanks. When
dispensing valve is opened, CO2 pressure exerted upon contents of product tank forces product from tank,
through cold plate cooling coil, and to dispensing valve resulting in a cooled dispensed drink. The amount of ice
required to cool the cold plate is determined by how many drinks are being dispensed and product inlet
temperature. Periodically inspect amount of ice on top of cold plate and replenish as necessary.

REPLENISHING ICE SUPPLY
Periodically check and make sure sufficient amount of ice is on cold plate for proper cooling of dispensed
product. Replenish ice supply as instructed.
PRODUCT FLAVOR CHANGE
Sanitize product system as instructed, then install full tank of new flavor product in system.
CLEANING AND SANITIZING
Unit should be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized as instructed every time it is used as a portable (moved from
one location to another). If Unit is used as a semi-portable (left in one location part of the time), it should be
thoroughly cleaned and sanitized every 30-days.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
This section describes service and maintenance procedures to be performed on the Unit.
PREPARING UNIT FOR SHIPPING, RELOCATING, OR STORING
CAUTION: Before shipping, relocating, or storing Unit, cold plate cooling coils must be sanitized and all sanitizing solution purged from coils and dispensing valves. Ice water and ice must also be removed from inside Unit.
A freezing ambient environment will cause residual water remaining inside Unit to freeze resulting in damage to
internal components.
ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTING PRODUCT TANKS CO2 REGULATOR
(see Figure 2)
Set product tanks CO2 regulator, using Cornelius PRE-MIX COMPUTER slide rule or bottling room chart, at
equilibrium pressure to highest temperature encountered between product tank storage area and Unit plus
5-psig operating pressure for lines 10-feet in length or less and no vertical lift. Add one pound for every 10-feet
over initial 10-feet of product tank to Unit line length and one pound for every 2-feet of vertical lift. Add one
pound for every product tank on line over three tanks.
ADJUSTING DISPENSED PRODUCT FLOW RATE
Turn dispensing valve Compensator Adjusting Screw (Figure 4) to the left (counterclockwise) for higher product
flow rate or to the right (clockwise) for lower pro-duct flow rate.
REPLENISHING CO2 SUPPLY
NOTE: When indicator on CO2 cylinder regulator assembly 1800-psi gage is in shaded (‘‘change CO
cylinder’’) portion of dial, CO2 cylinder is almost empty and should be changed.
1. Fully close (clockwise) CO2 cylinder valve.
2. Slowly loosen CO2 regulator assembly coupling nut allowing CO2 pressure to escape, then remove regulator assembly from empty CO2 cylinder.
3. Unfasten safety chain and remove empty CO2 cylinder.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury and/or property damage, always secure CO2 cylinder
with safety chain to prevent it from falling over. Should the valve become accidentally
damaged or broken off, CO2 cylinder can cause serious personal injury.
4. Position CO2 cylinder and secure with safety chain.

5. Make sure gasket is in place inside CO2 regulator coupling nut, then install regulator on CO2 cylinder.
6. Open (counterclockwise) CO2 cylinder valve slightly to allow lines to slowly fill with gas, then open valve
fully to back-seat valve. (Back-seating valve prevents leakage around valve shaft).
7. Check CO2 connections for leaks. Tighten loose connections.
