SYSTEM PRESSURES
1. Incoming tap water - must be at a minimum
dynamic pressure of 40 psi and maximum static
pressure of 70 psi.
If incoming water pressure is under 40 psi dynamic, a
water booster is recommended. If incoming water pressure
is over 55 psi, a water regulating valve is recommended.
NOTE: For water booster setups, connect directly to the
incoming water to the unit. A regulator m ay be needed to
maintain 40 - 55 psi to the carbonator or water may be
routed around the booster to the carbonator. If water
pressure is too high to the carbonator poor drink
carbonation can result.
Water boosters are preset to turn on at 65 psi and of f
at 85 psi.
2. BIB pressure gauge must be set for 75 psi or
according to your line run.
Starting Your Beverage System & Dispenser
Upon completion of the beverage dispenser and / or
system installation, all tubing, dispenser, and system
components must be cleaned and sanitized prior to use.
NOTE: At installation, equipment, dispensers, and tubing
get moved through many environments, dirt, dust, chases,
insulation, drywall, etc. It is an important procedure and
best practice to address cleaning to deliver the best quality
drink to your customer.
Clean and sanitize the water and syrup circuits
according to instructions provided in this manual.
Clean and sanitize the dispenser components
according to instructions provided in this manual.
Seal to counter top when no legs are use d with the
unit. Consult and use local health codes if a
discrepancy occurs between this manual and your
local health codes.
-Ambient systems must be set at 90 psi to 105 psi.
NOTE: For models with flavor shots you want to achieve
.5 oz (14.787 cc) a second dispense, adjust secondary
regulator or flow controls accordingly.

ICE RECOMMENDED FOR DISPENSING
Dispensers are designed to dispense hard, cube ice up
to one-inch square. The ice shapes and sizes listed
above are recommended for dispensing. Warm “Super
Cooled” Ice Before Dispensing: “Super Cooled” ice is not
recommended for dispensing. “Super cooled” ice is ice
that has been stored in freezers below 32°F. must it be
necessary to temporarily use “super cooled” ice, allow
the ice to warm at room temperature for 25 to 30
minutes before placing the ice in the dispenser.
ICE STORAGE AND DISPENSING
As the customer presses the rocking chute, the arm at
the top left rear of the chute pushes upward on the door
lock. The door opens until it contacts the stops in the
mounting brackets. The plastic arm on the ice ch ute also
activates the lever of the ice dispensing switch. When
activated, the micro switch starts the gear motor. The
gear motor turns the paddle wheel and agitator arm.
The paddlewheel carries ice. Periodic agitation is
standard on the 30" and larger dispensers. During
periodic agitation, the paddle wheel and agitator turn for
approximately three seconds every three and one halfhours. The door lock prevents ice from being dispensed
during the agitation cycle.
BEVERAGE VALVES
Post-mix beverage valves are designed to precisely
meter the flow of both water and syrup to obtain the
proper mixing ratio. The syrup and soda wate r
components of the post-mix beverage are mixed as they
leave the beverage valve.
ROCKING CHUTE ICE DISPENSING
As the customer presses the rocking chute, the arm at
the top left rear of the chute pushes upward on the door
lock. The door opens until it contacts the stops in the
mounting brackets. The plastic arm on the ice chute also
activates the lever of the ice dispensing switch. When
activated, the micro switch starts the gear motor. The
gear motor turns the paddle wheel and agitator bar.
CARBONATION
The purpose of the carbonator is to take regular tap
water at street water pressure (minimum 20 PSI,
maximum 80 PSI, dynamic or flowing pressure) 1/2"
water line and increase the water to beverage system
pressure (usually 100 PSI). This water is then combined
with the CO
gas. Because the water and gas are at the
2
same pressure, the CO
Chilling the mixture before dispensing will assist in
locking the carbon dioxide into the water. After
dispensing, the CO
The CO
will gradually leave the liquid due to pressure
2
and temperature changes.
Components
The components of the carbonator are: water pump, an
electric motor to operate the pump, carbonator tank
where the water and CO
ROCKING CHUTE ICE DISPENSING
As the customer presses the rocking chute, the arm at
the top left rear of the chute pushes upward on the door
lock. The door opens until it contacts the stops in the

Operation
Carbon Dioxide (CO
) leaves the storage tank and
2
arrives at the carbonator tank through the gas inlet.
Water supply enters the carbonator pum p inlet at regular
street water line pressure (minimum 20 PSI, maximum
80 PSI, dynamic or flowing pressure). The water pump
increases the pressure of the water, which allows the
water to flow into the carbonator tank. The CO
and the
2
water mix together in the carbonator to produce the
carbonated water that is then sent to the soda dispenser.
The agitation of the water and CO
together in the tank
2
under high pressure creates the soda water. The quality
of carbonation (percent of CO
mixed in the water)
2
increases as the water temperature decreases and
exposure time increases.
The water level in the carbonator tank is controlled by a
water level control in the tank. This control turns the
pump motor off and on to maintain a preset level of liquid
in the tank. The water level control may be electronic
probes or a mechanical float.
SYRUP DELIVERY SYSTEM
Your syrup location can vary depending on the volume of
beverages served and ease of accessibility. Your beverage
system may set in a back storage room or under the
counter of the dispenser. Configurations are almost
limitless. Check the temperatures expected for the storage
location. Adverse temperatures can affect the storage and
quality of beverage products. It is recommended the
temperature of storage location should not fall below 40°F
(4°C) or rise above 90°F (32°C).
BACK ROOM PACKAGE
1. Incoming tap water - should be at a minimum
dynamic pressure of 40 psi and maximum static
pressure of 70 psi.
2. Carbonator Water pump motor - Powers the water
pump. The water pump motor is part of the
carbonator pump deck.
3. Carbonator Water pump - Pumps t ap water into the
carbonator tank. The water pump is part of the
carbonator. The incoming water for the carbonator
must be first run through the pump before
connecting to the proper cold plate inlet.
4. Internal/External Carbonator tank - Combines
CO
gas and tap water to form carbonated water.
2
The “carbonator” is the carbonator tank, water pump
and water pump motor.
5. CO

gas flows through the
2
primary pressure regulator.
6. BIB pressure gauge - Set for 75 psi. Indicates CO
pressure going to B-I-B pumps.
7. Primary pressure regulator - Lowers the CO
pressure, to 100 psi, so the CO
gas will be at the
2
gas
2
proper pressure to enter the carbonator regulator.
8. Lowered outgoing pressure - Set for 75 psi.
Gauge indicates lowered outgoing pressure from the
CO
cylinder after being routed through the primary
2
pressure regulator at 100 psi.
9. Secondary pressure regulator - Lowers the CO
gas pressure before the CO

RACKING
Regardless if you are working on a B-I-B or Figal system, a
place will be designated for placement of the product. A rack
(or shelf) system affords systematic placement and complete
usage of the beverage paid for . The B-I-B rack allows the
boxes to lay properly for syrup dispersal. Please check with
your B-I-B syrup supplier. Some boxes must be slightly tilted
down, while others may be in virtually any position. The Figal
tank rack keeps the newer and full ta nks organized at one end
of the beverage line with the partial tanks at the other .
B-I-B
The Bag-In-Box system refers to a plastic disposable bag.
The B-I-B normally contains 5 gallons of syrup, however some
locations offer 2-1/2 gallon B-I-B units. This plastic bag is then
held inside a cardboard or other container . B-I-B systems are
for post-mix applications only .
PUMPS
The syrup in a B-I-B system is delivered to the beverage
system through gas operated pumps. These pumps extract
the syrup out of the bags, forcing the syrup throughout the
system.
AUTO BAG SELECTORS
These are used on higher volume B-I-B systems where two or
more bags of the same product are connected to one pump
and one system. An auto bag selector is essentially a valve
that automatically changes from one bag (or series of bags) to
another bag (or series of bags) of syrup as the bags empty,
allowing a constant flow of product.
FIGAL SYSTEM
Figal refers to the stainless steel tanks of pre-mix beverage or
post-mix syrup. A small CO
tank pushes the beverage out of
2
the figal tank.
FIGAL T ANKS
The stainless steel Figal beverage tanks are easy to store and
connect. When using the Figal tanks:
•Use a gas connector for the inlet fitting of the tank.
•Use a syrup connector for the outlet fitting of the tank.
•If more than one Figal tank is connected in series, when
changing tanks, remove the tank closest to the original gas
inlet while adding the new tank to the connector closest to
the syrup outlet.
Most Figal tanks have a self-closing valve on the tank as well
as the gas and syrup connectors. This allows the operator of
the system to change tanks without having to shut down the
entire system. With this type of connector, push down on the
connector while pulling up on the snap ring around the
opening of the connector. Then simply pull the connector of f
the tank.
NON-ADJUSTABLE AGITATION TIMER
The timer is non-adjustable and is set to agitate the ice for 3
seconds every 3.5 hours. Activating the dispenser will reset
the timer. Af ter 3.5hours of non-use, the timer will energize
the dispenser motor.
The LED tells the technician in which mode the timer is
operating. Rather than a jumper pin, this timer has a female
spade connector that must be connected to terminal number 6.
When this jumper is in place, the LED will blink at one second
intervals, this is the run mode.
When the jumper is open, the LED will flash every 0.4 second.
This is the test mode and the timer will cycle every 55 seconds
in test mode. If the timer is left in test mode, it will automatically
reset to run mode.

up on the ice delivery switch. To adjust it, use needle
nose pliers and bend the arm of the switch up or down in
order to change the point where the tab makes contact
with the switch arm.
Begin by observing the chute by slowly pushing against
the rocking chute. When the ice delivery switch clicks,
measure the distance from the doo r stops on the rocking
chute bracket to the door. The distance between the two
