SAFETY INFORMATION
Recognize Safety Information
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 system. If a CO2 gas leak is suspected, particularly in a small area, im-
mediately 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 beer systems must be sanitized and
all sanitizing solution must be purged from the beer 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 INFORMATION
IMPORTANT: To the user of this manual – This manual is a guide for installing, operating, and main-
taining this equipment. Refer to the Table of Contents for page location for detailed information pertaining to questions that arise during installation, operation, service, or maintenance of this equipment.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 1550 Universal Beer Dispenser (see Figure 1) is equipped with manually operated self-closing beer faucets.
The Unit that is not equipped with a handle and wheels may be installed free standing or under a counter or bar.
The Unit that is equipped with a handle and wheels makes it a mobile Unit. The refrigeration system is equipped
with a 3/4 H.P. compressor that is easily accessible for service and maintenance.
This Unit must be installed and serviced by a qualified Service Person. This Unit contains no User serviceable
parts.
Installation of LOOSE-SHIPPED PARTS (see Table 2), filling the water tank with water, connection to beer kegs
with regulated CO2 gas pressure, and connection to an electrical outlet with proper electrical requirements is all
that is required to set the Unit up for operation.

THEORY OF OPERATION
(see Figure 2)
A CO2 cylinder delivers carbon dioxide (CO2) gas through adjustable CO2 regulators to the beer kegs. When
dispensing valves are opened, CO
through the Unit cooling coils, and on to the beer faucets resulting in cold beer being dispensed.
When the Unit power cord has been plugged into an electrical outlet and the main power switch on back of the
Unit (115 VAC, 60 Hz Units only) has been positioned in the ‘‘ON’’ (up) position, the compressor, condenser fan
motor, and agitator motor will start and begin forming an ice bank. When a full ice bank has been formed, the
compressor and condenser fan motor will stop but the agitator motor will continue to operate, circulating ice water bath in the water tank. The water tank ice bank sensing bulb will cycle the compressor and condenser fan
motor on and off as required to maintain a full ice bank.
gas pressure exerted upon the beer kegs pushes beer from the kegs,
