8. Device Maintenance
Only the personnel who have studied the operations manual and have been trained to safely
operate the device should be allowed to maintain the device.
A heavy daily beer ow through the PEGAS Evolution may eventually clog the beer supply ele-
ments, as well as the drain and throttle parts, and hoses.
In order to avoid the clogging and fouling of device elements, the dispenser should be washed
and disinfected regularly.
Washing
To clean the device a sanitary liquid should be supplied from a hose-adapted container placed
at the beer keg position. The beer supply hose and the PEGAS Evolution device itself are the
rst ones to be washed. In order to wash the drain hose, a plastic bottle should be placed into
the down-hold mechanism. When the plastic bottle overows, the drain and throttle elements
are clean.
PEGAS Evolution Sanitary Standards
