(see Figure 3)
1. Remove cover from the dispensing valve by lifting the front cover up 1/4 inch and pulling forward.
2. Install syrup diversion tube assembly on the dispensing valve by pushing rubber end of the syrup diversion
tube onto the syrup outlet of the inner nozzle.
3. Measure the water flow rate by dispensing water into a graduated cup for a set period of time.
NOTE: Adjusting screw stops are built into the valve to prevent leakage when the screws are adjusted too
far clockwise. Stop adjusting clockwise when turning resistance increases. Turn the screw counterclockwise 1-1/2 turns after the stop are contacted.
4. Turn the water flow regulator adjusting screw to the left (counterclockwise) to decrease the water flow rate or
turn the adjusting screw to the right (clockwise) to increase the water flow rate, then recheck the flow rate.
Adjustments should be no more than 1/4 turn at a time.
5. Remove syrup diversion tube from the dispensing valve, then install cover on the dispensing valve.
ADJUSTING WATER-TO-SYRUP “RATIO” (BRIX) OF DISPENSED PRODUCT
(see Figure 3)
NOTE: Make sure the dispensing valve water flow rate is as desired before adjusting the valve for Water–
to–Syrup ‘‘Ratio’’ (Brix) of the dispensed product.
Adjust Water-to-Syrup “Ratio” (Brix) of the dispensed product by using ratio cup (P/N 311100000) and syrup
diversion tube assembly (P/N 319540000) as follows:
1. Remove cover from the dispensing valve by lifting front cover up 1/4 inch and pulling forward.
2. Install syrup diversion tube assembly on the dispensing valve by pushing the rubber end of the syrup diversion
tube onto the syrup outlet of the inner nozzle.
NOTE: Refer to syrup manufacturer’s recommendations on syrup package for water–to–syrup ratio.
3. Dispense enough to fill syrup diversion tube with syrup.
4. Hold large chamber of the ratio cup under the dispensing valve nozzle. Place free end of the syrup diversion
tube into the syrup chamber marked for the proper ratio. Dispense approximately 6 ounces of water into the
ratio cup. Water and syrup levels should be even in cup.
NOTE: Adjusting screw stops are built into the valve to prevent leakage when the screws are adjusted
clockwise too much. Stop adjusting clockwise when turning resistance increases. Turn the screw counterclockwise 1-1/2 turns after the stop are contacted.
5. Adjusting Syrup Flow Regulator - If water and syrup levels are uneven in the ratio cup, adjust by
turning the dispensing valve syrup flow regulator adjusting screw labeled SYRUP as follows.
A.For less syrup, turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise no more than 1/4 turn at a time.
B.For more syrup, turn the adjusting screw clockwise no more than 1/4 turn at a time.
6. Repeat water–to–syrup ratio test and adjust syrup flow regulator as many times as necessary until proper
ratio of dispensed drink is achieved.
7. Remove syrup diversion tube assembly from dispensing valve.
Fill the hopper with ice. Dispense a large cup of ice. Repeat this procedure when ever the dispenser has run out of
ice.
In normal operation, pushing the ice dispenser lever will cause ice to flow from the ice chute. Ice flow will continue
to flow as long as the lever is held depressed.
If the dispenser fails to dispense beverage or ice, refer to TROUBLESHOOTING in back of the manual.
AUGER ASSEMBLY BREAKDOWN
1. For cleaning, the auger assembly is constructed for simple (tools not required) breakdown. First remove the
tower cover (item 69) by removing the 2 knurled screws.
2. Once the tower cap is out of the way you will see a wire retainer (item 77). By placing your fingers on the backside of the ice chute (item 65) with your thumbs pointing upward, place the thumbs on the retainer wire and
with a slight upward movement push the wire retainer towards the rear of the unit. The retainer should pop out
of the saddle and swing backwards.
3. At this point, you should be able to pull up on the ice chute and remove it from the assembly. You will notice that
the ice chute is made up of three pieces. That is the ice chute, the ice chute cover and the auger gate which is
respectively (Items 65, 66, and 67). Take not so that when reassembling the ice chute, the auger gate cradles
in the ice chute with the short tang side up.
4. The auger (Item 73) can now be removed by just grasping it and pulling up. Notice that the bottom of the
auger has a depression in the form of a D pattern. When replacing the auger, it will be necessary to rotate the
auger after insertion in the tube to engage the motor shaft.
D.Remove tower cover by removing two thumb screws.
E.Move the retaining bail to the rear of the tower which will allow removal of the ice chute assembly.
F.Grasp the auger by the shaft end and lift out the auger tube. Take care not to damage either end of the
auger.
G.Remove the auger tube by lifting upward. The tube will separate into two halves for easy cleaning when
fully removed.
H.Open the front door of the cabinet below the hopper. This will give you access to the lower auger drive
area and the passage between the hopper and the auger for cleaning.
I.Using the previously prepared detergent solution, clean the valves, the hopper covers, agitator disk,
agitator assembly, interior of the hopper, both halves of the ice chute, auger, auger tubes, and the
lower auger area of the auger housing. Thoroughly rinse all of the previously cleaned parts with potable
water.
J.Reassemble the agitator assembly and disc into the hopper. Make certain the retaining screw is tight.
K.Using a mechanical spray bottle filled with sanitizing solution, spray the entire interior of the hopper and
the agitator assembly. Go to the lower auger drive area and also spray with sanitizing solution. Allow to
air dry.
L.Using the spray bottle, spray the inside of the two halves of the auger tube, the auger, the two halves of
the chute assembly, and the undersides of the right and left covers. Allow to air dry.
M.Reassemble the two halves of the auger tube and place back into it’s mounting. Holding the auger by the
upper shaft end, insert into the guide tube. Make certain that the auger slips into it’s drive pin. The chute
assembly will not assemble properly if the auger is not seated on it’s drive pin. Reassemble the upper
auger and chute assembly onto the auger and lock down by snapping the ball onto the upper housing.
Reinstall the tower cover with the thumb screws.
N.Reinstall the covers. Put the right cover on first before you close the left cover.
3. Last are the auger housings (Items 74 and 75). They are dislodged by pulling upward. Check their orientation
and the fact that the longer tube is on the front side. When positioning the housings back in the dispenser, the
longer tube should be placed first so as to seat in the lower housing to set up the orientation (top and bottom
are marked on end of the tube tab at the top), otherwise the ice chute spout will not point towards the front of
the dispenser.
Refer to addendum supplied with the unit that is applicable to the manufacturer of the valves installed
on the unit.
Sanitizing Syrup Tanks System
Only trained and qualified persons should perform these cleaning and sanitizing procedures.
Sanitize syrup tanks system as follows:
1. Remove all the quick disconnects from all the tanks. Fill a suitable pail or bucket with soap solution.
2. Submerge all disconnects (gas and liquid) in the soap solution and then clean them using a nylon bristle
brush. (Do not use a wire brush). Rinse with clean water.
3. Prepare sanitizing solution and using a mechanical spray bottle, spray the disconnects.
Allow to air dry.
4. Using a clean, empty tank, prepare five (5) gallons of the sanitizing solution. Rinse the tank disconnects with
approximately 9 oz. of the sanitizing solution. Close the tank.
5. Prepare cleaning tank by filling clean five (5) gallon tank with a mixture of mild detergent and potable water
(120°F).
6. Connect a gas disconnect to the tank and then apply one of the product tubes to the cleaning tank. Operate
the appropriate valve until liquid dispensed is free of any syrup.
7. Disconnect cleaning tank and hook up sanitizing tank to syrup line and CO
8. Energize beverage faucet until chlorine sanitizing solution is dispensed through the faucet. Flush at least two
(2) cups of liquid to ensure that the sanitizing solution has filled the entire length of the syrup tubing.
9. Allow sanitizer to remain in lines for fifteen (15) minutes.
10. Repeat the step above, applying a different product tube each time until all tubes are filled with the sanitizing
solution.
11. For post–mix valves, remove the nozzle and syrup diffuser and clean them in a mild soap solution.
Rinse with clean water and reassemble the nozzle and syrup diffuser on the valve.
12. For pre–mix valves, disconnect all product tubes from the tank of sanitizing solution and then open the valves
to allow the pressure to be relieved. Remove the valves from the dispenser, disassemble and wash
thoroughly in a mild soap solution.
13. Rinse the parts in clean water, reassemble the valve and reconnect it to the dispenser.
system.

14. Discard the tank of sanitizing solution and reconnect the product (syrup or pre–mix) tanks. Operate the valves
until all sanitizer has been flushed from the system and only product (syrup or pre–mix) is flowing.
Sanitize B–I–B Systems
1. Remove all the quick disconnects from all the B–I–B containers.
2. Fill a suitable pail or bucket with soap solution.
3. Submerge all disconnects (gas and liquid) in the soap solution and then clean them using a nylon bristle
brush. (Do not use a wire brush). Rinse with clean water.
4. Using a plastic pail, prepare approximately five (5) gallons of sanitizing solution.
5. Rinse the B–I–B disconnects in the sanitizing solution.
6. Sanitizing fittings must be attached to each B–I–B disconnect. If these fittings are not available, the fittings
from empty B–I–B bags can be cut from the bags and used. These fittings open the disconnect so the
sanitizing solution can be drawn through the disconnect.
7. Place all the B–I–B disconnects into the pail of sanitizing solution. Operate all the valves until the sanitizing
solution is flowing from the valve. Allow sanitizer to remain in lines for fifteen (15) minutes.
8. Remove the nozzle and syrup diffuser from each valve and clean them in a soap solution. Rinse with clean
water and reassemble the nozzle and syrup diffuser to the valve.
9. Remove the sanitizing fittings from the B–I–B disconnects and connect the disconnects to the appropriate
B–I–B container. Operate the valves until all sanitizer has been flushed from the system and syrup is flowing
freely.
ICE AUGER SPEED CONTROL
The ice auger is a variable speed device. A potentiometer is used to control this speed. The potentiometer is
located on the CB 1 control board (see Figure 4). The CB 1 control board is located inside the electrical control box
which is below the counter facing towards the front of the counter. Removing the three screws and cover will
expose the CB 1 Control board. By turning the potentiometer knob located on the CB1 control board CCW
(counterclockwise) will increase the speed of the ice delivery. Turning the potentiometer knob CW (clockwise) will
decrease the speed of the ice delivery.
If repairs are to be made to a syrup system, disconnect syrup supply from the applicable syrup system, then relieve
the system pressure before proceeding. If repairs are to be made to the CO2 system, stop dispensing, shut off the
CO2 supply, then relieve the system pressure before proceeding. If repairs are to be made to the unit electrical
system, make sure electrical power is disconnected from the unit before proceeding.
IMPORTANT: Only qualified Personnel should service internal components or electrical wiring
Should your unit fail to operate properly, check that there is power to the unit and that the hopper contains ice. If the
unit does not dispense, check the following chart under the appropriate symptoms to aid in locating the defect.
