6. Installation
Warning
To avoid personal injury or damage, do not attempt to lift a
Chiller without help. Use of a mechanical lift is recommended.
6.1 Receiving
Each unit is completely tested under operating conditions and thoroughly inspected before shipment. At
time of shipment, the carrier accepts the unit and any claim for damage(s) must be made with the carrier.
Upon receiving units from the delivering carrier, carefully inspect shipping crate for visible indication(s) of
damage. If damage exists, have carrier note damage on bill of landing and file a claim with the carrier.
6.2 Unpacking
Caution
The use of gloves is recommended to protect hands from
potential injury from sharp edges. The Chiller must always be
handled in a vertical position.
Carefully unpack the Lancer Presto Chiller from the shipping carton. Inspect unit for concealed damage
and if evident, notify delivering carrier and file a claim against the carrier.
6.3 Selecting a Location
Caution
The Chiller is not suitable for use in subfreezing temperatures.
To prevent damage, drain unit when air temperature is below
zero.
The Chiller should be located on a firm, level surface able to support 30 kg operating weight.
The appliance is only to be installed in location where its use and maintenance is restricted to
trained personnel.
Ensure there is sufficient clearance to fill the ice well from the top.
6.4 Preassembly of the Chiller
Open lid and remove hardware.
Assemble feet, tap, tap seal, handle
and elbows as shown right.

Warning
The Presto Beer Chiller uses a CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) supply.
CO2 is a heavier than air, colourless, non-combustible gas with
a faintly pungent odour. Personnel exposed to high
concentrations of CO2 gas will experience tremors, which are
followed rapidly by loss of consciousness and suffocation. If a
CO2 gas leak is suspected, immediately ventilate the
contaminated area before attempting to repair the leak.
An Onsite CO2 Risk Assessment must be completed at the time
of installation to ensure compliance with AS 5034.
Place chiller on countertop with drain and beer elbows overhanging the edge.
Connect 3m beer line to INLET elbow. DO NOT CUT THE BEER LINE AS THE LENGTH IS
CRITICAL IN CONTROLLING BEER FLOW.
Connect drain tube to DRAIN elbow and route to a suitable container or tundish. Ensure there are
no bends or kinks in the drain tube that would trap water.
Replace drip tray and cup rest.
Fill the ice well with ice now to allow the unit to chill down while finishing the connections. It can
take up to 20 minutes for the chiller to stabilise with ice in it.
Assemble beer coupler fittings as shown. Ensure tubing is fully seated in elbow.
Place coupler on keg but do not engage at this time.
Attach gas line to CO2 regulator and keg coupler. Use only Food Grade CO2.
Attach disposable CO2 cylinder, if used, and place in holder as shown.
Route the relief vent to a well ventilated area as required by AS 5034.
Set the CO2 regulator pressure. Check with the brewery or use the following table as a guideline.
Beer Keg Temperature
Gas Pressure
10oC
150 – 200 kPa (22 - 29 Psig)
20oC
220 – 250 kPa (32 - 36 Psig)
30oC
320 – 350 kPa (46 - 51 Psig)
Engage keg by pushing down on the coupler handle.
Ensure there are no gas leaks by performing a thorough leak check of the system and rectifying
any discrepancies before continuing.
To dispense beer open and close the tap with a quick, full movement of the tap handle.
From time to time it may be necessary to agitate the ice in the well to maintain chilled beverage
temperatures.
Caution
Free standing CO2 cylinders may be used but they MUST be
restrained from falling over with a suitable restraining device as
defined in AS 4332. Should the valve become accidentally
damaged or broken off, a CO2 cylinder can cause serious
personnel injury or even death.
Caution
Do not exceed rated keg pressure .

7. Scheduled Maintenance
The following Chiller routine maintenance should be performed at the intervals listed.
7.1 Daily
Good food hygiene practices should be a part of the daily routine – spills wiped up, empty
containers disposed of, and equipment kept neat and orderly.
Lift handle to disengage, but do not remove, keg coupler to prevent over carbonation at the end of
the trading day.
Wash drip tray and cup rest.
7.2 Weekly
As per brewery instructions, ensure weekly sanitisation of the whole beer system is carried out,
including keg couplers, beer lines, chiller coils and taps.
Wash out the ice well with warm soapy water and rinse with clear water.
8. Cleaning and Sanitation.
Warning
Most commercial beer line chemicals are classified as
hazardous if ingested or when in contact with the skin or eyes.
Take proper precautions when handling and wear protective
clothing and goggles. Read and understand the handling
procedures for the chemicals used for your system.
Hoshizaki Lancer provides both concentrate and premixed beer line
cleaning solutions. Contact us for details. The instructions below are for
general applications considering the brewery may offer alternative
cleaners.
A 5L cleanout tank is available from Hoshizaki Lancer. Before
opening vent the tank by pulling the relief valve ring.
Prepare 5L of sanitizer following the supplier’s instructions.
Place a bucket under the tap.
Connect the keg coupler to the cleanout tank.
Open the tap and allow product to pour until cleaning fluid comes out of the
tap. Close tap.
Let stand. Follow the instructions that came with the cleaner.
At the end of the soak period, dispense some cleaner through the beer line
then wash tap with the brush supplied. Continue running the cleaner through
the chiller operating the tap on-off-on to remove buildup.
Disconnect keg coupler. Vent cleanout tank. Rinse thoroughly and fill with potable water.
Reconnect keg coupler and purge chiller with water until clear of any cleaning chemical.
Connect to keg. Open tap until product is dispensed.

Low Carbonation.
Dirty glasses.
Non-food grade CO2.
Unit not cleaned or sanitized.
Wash glasses with commercial
