SAFETY
INFORMATION
Carefully read all safety messages in this manual. Learn how to operate the equipment properly.
Do not allow anyone to operate the unit without proper training and keep it in proper working
condition. Unauthorized modifications to the equipment may impair function and/or safety and
affect the life of the unit.
CARBON DIOXIDE WARNING
WARNING: Carbon Dioxide (CO2) displaces oxygen. Exposure to a high concentration of CO2 gas
causes tremors, which are followed rapidly by loss of consciousness and suffocation. If a CO
is suspected, particularly in a small area, immediately ventilate the area before repairing the leak. CO
lines and pumps should not be installed in an enclosed space. An enclosed space can be a cooler or
small room or closet. This may include convenience stores with glass door self serve coolers. If you
suspect CO2 may build up in an area, venting of the B-I-B pumps and / or CO2 monitors should be utilized.
QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL
CAUTION: Only trained and certified electrical and plumbing technicians should service this unit.
All wiring and plumbing must conform to national and local codes.

SAFETY
Caution: To Avoid Serious Injury
Important: Read the following warnings before beginning an installation. Failure to do so may result in possible
death or serious injury.
DO Adhere to all National and Local Plumbing and Electrical Safety Codes.
DO Turn “off” incoming electrical service switches when servicing, installing, or repairing equipment.
DO Check that all flare fittings are tight. This check should be performed with a wrench to ensure a quality seal.
DO Inspect pressure on Regulators before starting up equipment.
DO Protect eyes when working around refrigerants.
DO Use caution when handling metal surface edges of all equipment.
DO Handle CO
DO Store CO2 cylinder(s) in well ventilated areas.
DO NOT Exhaust CO2 gas (example: beer pump) into an enclosed area, including all types of walk in coolers,
DO NOT Throw or drop a CO2 cylinder. Secure the cylinder(s) in an upright position with a chain.
DO NOT Connect the CO2 cylinder(s) directly to the product container. Doing so will result in an explosion
DO NOT Store CO2 cylinders in temperature above 125°F (51.7°C) near furnaces, radiator or sources of heat.
DO NOT Release CO2 gas from old cylinder.
DO NOT Touch Refrigeration lines inside units, some may exceed temperatures of 200°F (93.3°C).
Notice: All utility connections and fixtures shall be

SAFETY
SHIPPING, STORAGE, AND RELOCATION
CAUTION: Before shipping, storing, or relocating this unit, syrup systems must be sanitized. After
sanitizing, all liquids (sanitizing solution and water) must be purged from the unit. A freezing environment causes residual sanitizing solution or water remaining inside the unit to freeze, resulting
in damage to internal components.
Store conduit in 60°F (15.5°C) to 80°F (16.6°C) environment.
Keep in a cool, dry location.
Do not expose to direct sunlight.
Do not store conduit outside the original carton.
Do not store conduit for more than one year.
Do not store anything directly on top of conduit.
Do not store in an enclosed location with high aromatic compounds.
Conduit warranty is 2 years from date of manufacture as printed on the conduit.

Installation and Service Manual
PRE-INSTALLATION
REQUIRED TOOLS
• Steel Fish Tape
• Length of Rope
• Duct Tape
UNPACKING AND INSPECTING
Carefully inspect the conduit immediately upon unpacking. Inspect conduit for any damages that may have occurred during shipping.
ROUTING MULTIPLEX CONDUIT
FLOOR CHASES
FIGURE 1
• Approved Tubing Cutters
• Razor Blade Knife
• Tab Clamp Pliers
Before installing conduit, be sure conduit is proper length
for installation, contains the correct number of lines for
connection, and all lines are proper diameter.
Before pulling Multiplex conduit through a floor chase, ensure the floor chase contains the following:
• 8" Minimum PVC Conduit
• Wide Sweep Elbows with a minimum 2 ft
(61 cm) radius
Pulling Conduit Through Floor Chase
1. Determine the most convenient way of routing conduit, starting at the end which offers adequate room
for installation. The conduit installation process requires the assistance of two (2) qualified personnel.
2. Locate steel fish tape and route through chase opening. Route fish tape through entire chase until it appears at opposite end.
3. Locate an appropriate length of rope and tie to end
of fish tape (end that was routed through chase in
step 2). Approximately 2 ft (61 cm) from steel fish
tape/rope connection, secure a swab to rope (use
mop heads or bundle of rags for swab).
4. Pull end of fish tape from starting point through chase
with rope and swab. The swab will sweep clean any
construction materials, moisture, or debris that may
exist in floor chase.
• Chase openings should extend 6" (15.2 cm)
above floor
• Chase must be clean and dry, no foreign materials
Caution: All objects and moisture must be removed from
floor chase before conduit can be routed. It may be necessary to repeat this process to ensure floor chase is clean.
5. After floor chase has been cleaned, remove steel
fish tape and swab from rope. Locate bundle of Multiplex conduit and unspool conduit to allow unrestricted feed during installation process.
6. Locate rope through chase opening and connect to
proper end of Multiplex conduit.
Note: Multiplex conduit is designed to be pulled
through a chase in the direction of arrows printed on
conduit
(refer to figure 2)
