Preparing for Installation Chapter 1 3

1.1 Unpacking & Inspecting Upon receiving your system remove it from the shipping carton or pallet. Required Items & Parts Cooling Device Unpack all parts. Make sure all required items and parts listed (left) are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing or damaged, notify our office immediately. Optional Items Not included in seltzer-only systems 4

1.2 Selecting Remote Cooler Location (If you re using another cooling method, skip to Section 1.3) Consider positioning cooling unit as close as possible to your electrical source or receptacle. Allow a minimum of 2 space between remote cooler and cabinet walls or top for sufficient space for ventilation. Excessive heat in a storage cabinet will prematurely melt the ice and cause the cooling unit to labor excessively. Ambient temperature for your cooling system should not exceed 100 degrees F. Operation of the cooling unit in temperatures exceeding 100 degrees can & will cause early cooling unit failure and produce poor drink quality. Allow enough space on the top of remote for lid opening. Enough space must be allowed to install the remaining support equipment for your system. Co2 tank, syrup boxes, carbonator, syrup pumps & regulators. Note: If you are planning on installing the cooling unit in a small enclosed area with poor air circulation, consider installing a vent in the cabinet wall to allow for adequate heat dissipation. 5

1.3 Tools Needed 1. Pliers 2. Flathead Screwdriver 3. Crescent Wrench A bucket and rag are also useful to have, if needed. 6

Water Supply Chapter 2 7

2.1 Volume, Pressure, & Quality Since a soft drink is approximately 5 parts water to 1 part syrup, having an adequate, clean water supply is absolutely essential. There are 3 important areas of focus with your water supply: 1. Volume The inside diameter of your main water supply tubing must be a minimum 1/4 if connected to your water source within 10 of the carbonator. If your carbonator is more than 10 away from the water source, a minimum 3/8 inside diameter is required. Anything less then this will starve the carbonator pump and create noise within the pump, poor carbonation, and cause premature failure of the carbonator. Do NOT use ice maker tubing! Food grade braided nylon, copper, or stainless tubing is acceptable for your main water supply. 8

2. Pressure High water pressure affects the carbonators ability to carbonate properly. Ideal water pressure range is 35 55 psi. If water pressure exceeds 55psi, the carbonator will NOT carbonate properly. Water pressure above 55psi. (most city water is above 55psi.) will require a water pressure regulator. If the water pressure is irregular or below 35psi. a water booster will be necessary. 3. Quality Mineral deposits & sediment (found in most city water supplies) get caught in the carbonator rotary vane pump, and in the check valves as well as other areas of the system causing leaking and or failure. A water filter is recommended to remove unwanted silt, sand, smells, & other undesirables. This will give the highest quality product results as well as lengthen the life of your soda system. 9

When a water filter is used, it is important that it has a flow rate of 100 gallons per hour and MUST be flushed BEFORE it is connected to the soda system. 2.2 Connecting the Water Supply Cartridge and Inline water filters NOTE: Water supply should be connected pre-water softener, not post. Using softened water will adversely affect carbonation. The main water connection on your system is clearly tagged. Your water supply line will run to the carbonator pump. We use a 3/8 fitting (not metric) for this connection. NOTE: If you have a non-carbonated flavor or plain water coming from your dispenser, you will need to tee your main water supply. Once you have established your water supply source, it is important to thoroughly flush this line for a few seconds of any debris, scale, mineral deposits, and any other impurities that may be in the lines. The smallest amount of debris can easily get lodged in a check valve or in your dispenser causing dripping, leaking, and failure. NOTE: Water connections directly connected to potable water supply should be sized, installed & maintained according to federal, state, & local laws. 10

Installing the Components Chapter 3 11

3.1 Installing the Dispenser Tower Installation There are a couple different ways to install your counter top tower. Your must decide which way is best to run your product tubing and wiring for the transformer. You have access through the bottom of the tower to go through an opening in your counter. There is also a removable cover at the bottom rear of the tower for routing the tubing & wiring strait out the back. The transformer will need to be plugged in to your wall outlet to operate the valves. The most common way is to mount the base of the tower to your desired counter top using a bead of clear silicone. There is a ½ inch flange located on the bottom of the tower if you require a more secure install. You can drill through the flange to anchor your 12

tower with fasteners of your choice. The drip tray can be emptied or cleaned by removing the cup rest and wiping the tray of spills & drips. The second most common method of tower installation is tracing the shape of the tower & drip tray on to a piece of wood or plastic and cutting it to size. Secure cut material with clear silicone to base of tower. This cut out will act as a foot adding stability while still allowing you to move the tower. Draft Arm Installation There is a threaded shank located at the base of the draft arm. It is used to secure the dispenser through a hole in your counter top and secured with the nut & washer provided. The drain tray will also need to be secured via the threaded shank in a like manner. 13

3.2 Installing the Cooling Device If your system is cooled by a remote cooler (right), you will have two sets of lines coming out of the remote. The insulated lines will go to your dispenser or soda gun. The non-insulated lines that are shown below come from the syrup pumps and water supply. These lines will be labeled and will be discussed further in the remaining installation chapters. 14

If your system is cooled by a cold plate (right), you will have two sets of lines coming out of it. The insulated lines will go to your dispenser or soda gun. The non-insulated lines come from the syrup pumps and carbonator, so you will need to attach them to the syrup pumps and carbonator. You will need to install the cold plate in an ice bin or igloo cooler. 3.3 Connecting the CO 2 Supply 1. Place CO 2 cylinder where it can be easily retrieved for refilling. Secure the tank with a safety chain to prevent the tank from falling over. 2. Connect primary CO 2 regulator to CO 2 cylinder. Use a fiber or plastic washer between the primary nut & stem and the tank neck (right). 15

3. Tighten the CO 2 nut on the regulator with an adjustable wrench. If you have separate primary & secondary regulators (left) with your system go to step #4 If you have a triple gauge regulator (right) skip to: Triple Gauge Regulator Installation 4. Using the ¼ high pressure tubing, attach the ¼ swivel nut that is marked to primary regulator gas out to the bottom of the regulator. Make sure the white nylon flare washer is between the swivel nut and the brass flare fitting located on the bottom of the primary regulator. 5. Tighten the swivel nut with an adjustable wrench. 6. Locate where you want to mount the secondary regulator and syrup pumps. 16

7. Attach the CO 2 tubing swivel nut end that reads to secondary regulator gas in to the right male flare fitting on the secondary regulator. Make sure white flare washer is installed before connecting. Tighten swivel nut with adjustable wrench. 8. Attach the remaining swivel nut end of the CO 2 line that reads to carb tank CO 2 gas in to the carbonator tank. Make sure white flare washer is installed before connecting. Tighten swivel nut with adjustable wrench. WARNING: DO NOT TURN ON THE CO 2 SUPPLY AT THIS TIME Triple Gauge Regulator Installation Triple gauge regulators are both primary & secondary regulators attached together. You will have two separate CO 2 gas lines for this type of regulator. Attach the swivel nut on the CO 2 line that reads to primary 17

regulator gas out to the brass male flare fitting on the bottom of the primary regulator. White flare washer MUST be installed between these two fittings. Tighten swivel nut with wrench. Attach swivel nut on the opposite side of the CO 2 line that reads to carb tank CO 2 gas in White flare washer MUST be installed between these two fittings. Tighten swivel nut with wrench. Attach the swivel nut on the CO 2 line that reads to secondary regulator gas out to the brass male flare fitting on the bottom of the secondary regulator. White flare washer MUST be installed between these two fittings. Tighten swivel nut with wrench. Attach swivel nut on the opposite side of the CO 2 line that reads to syrup pump CO 2 gas in White flare washer MUST be installed between these two fittings. Tighten swivel nut with wrench. WARNING: DO NOT TURN ON THE CO 2 SUPPLY AT THIS TIME 18

3.4 Connecting the Syrup Supply Bag-N-Box is a plastic bag filled with syrup encased in a box. There is a connection receiver at one end of the bag. A syrup pump with a clear piece of tubing with a bag in the box connector attached to it is connected to the receiver. (see picture below) Syrup is pumped out of the bag, moves through the syrup pump and is pushed toward the dispenser. There are different style connectors for different manufacturer s products. 19

Pump Operation The syrup pump is propelled by gas (or air) pressure. The pressure of the syrup leaving the pump is equal to the gas pressure feeding or driving the pump. The pump will continue to run until the pressure of the outbound syrup is equal to the inbound gas pressure. When the pressure drops in the syrup line to the dispensing valve, the pump will activate and 20

continue until the pressure is equalized. This will happen almost every time a drink is poured from the valve. Installing Bag-In-Box Syrup Pumps 1. Place your syrup boxes as close as possible to the syrup pumps. Under 10 feet is ideal. 2. Mount syrup pumps to your desired location. 3. Uncoil syrup line tubing from cooling device to the syrup pumps. 4. Connect the syrup pump fitting on each line to each pump. (See pictures of pump types below) 21

5. Attach each syrup pump bag in box connector to each syrup box. 6. If you DO NOT have all of syrup boxes (1 for each syrup pump) disconnect the gas CO2 fitting from the pump so it does not activate that pump when you start the system. Allow it to dangle loosely. 22

Tower and Draft Arm Start-up Procedures Chapter 4 Start-up Video (Remote Cooler): http://youtu.be/3wj4u00m5zm Start-up Video (Ice Maker): http://youtu.be/e1avvs_zrcy 23

If you have a remote cooling system, conduct the following start-up procedures: Otherwise, skip to step #7 1. Lift the lid and find labeled water fill line. 2. Fill to labeled water fill line located on the bottom right side of the water bath ice bin. 3. Plug the cooler into your power supply. 4. Press the Select button until the middle light (medium) turns on. 24

5. Press the Start button 6. Allow the machine to harvest ice for the next several hours. Standard Cold Plate Cooling Start-up 7. Y ou will need to set up your cold plate to be immersed in ice. There is a variety of options to set this up. Any type of container that will allow you to cover your cold plate with ice will work. Ice on the cold plate is necessary only when all of the support 25

equipment is assembled and you are ready to start dispensing product. Standard Carbonator Start-up 8. Turn water supply to the carbonator ON. Water supply tubing and valve are not included, so your water supply connection may look different than this picture. 9. Start filling carbonator tank by releasing the pressure relief valve located on top of carbonator tank (see figure #1). This will allow air to escape while the tank fills with water. Hold pressure relief valve open until water spurts out of valve opening. Figure #1. 26

10. Close pressure release valve. 11. Check for water leaks. Inspect all connections where water is run (example: carbonator, soda fountain or gun, all tubing lines carrying water). 12. Plug carbonator in to power source. Do NOT expect the carbonator to start running because it is already full of water. Only after dispensing soda water will the float in the tank sense the water level drop and activate the motor and pump. This procedure will be performed later. CO 2 Gas Introduction 13. Prepare for CO2 gas introduction to the system. Make sure the adjusting screw (see figure #2) & screw lock nut (see figure #3) are not tightened but are unscrewed and loosened. Figure #2. 27

This is performed by turning them in the counterclockwise direction. This allows you to introduce the gas in stages. 14. Turn CO2 tank valve on. Turn in counter clock wise direction. Figure #3. 15. Set adjustment on primary regulator by turning adjusting screw in the clock wise direction until needle on primary dial reads 100 psi. Figure #4. 16. Check for CO2 gas leaks by spraying all connections where gas runs through tubing with a spray bottle filled with a mild dish detergent mixture (1/2 water & 1/2 detergent). If leaks are found (bubbling; see figure #4), make necessary adjustments to clamps or fittings until bubbling stops (see figure #5). Tighten lock nut. Figure #5. 28

Do NOT adjust secondary regulator, yet! 17. Purge air from tubing by activating each valve separately. 18. Recycle carbonator allowing the proper blend of gas & water levels in the carbonator tank by dispensing soda water from one of the valves (see figure #6) until carbonator motor (see figure #7) starts. Spitting or erratic water flow is normal while air purges from the system. STOP dispensing water until carbonator finishes recycling (motor turns off). Figure #6 Figure #7. NOTE: Normal carbonator recycling does not exceed 60 seconds. If your carbonator is taking longer than 1 minute to recycle (motor turns off), unplug it immediately! 29

Perform recycling process 3 times. By the 3rd time you will notice a strong effervescence (bubbling) in the water. You are now ready to introduce syrup to the system. NOTE: ALL syrup pumps must be attached to a bag in box syrup before allowing them to be started. If you do NOT have a syrup box attached to each syrup pump you MUST disconnect the fitting that supplies gas to the pump (see figure #9). 19. Turn screw on the secondary regulator clockwise to allow gas to pass and be sent to drive the syrup pumps (figure #8). While turning the screw you Figure #8. will see the needle on the dial rise. As the pressure rises you will begin to hear popping coming from the syrup pumps signifying their activation. You will also see syrup moving from the syrup box up the BIB tubing towards the syrup pump. Continue adjusting regulator to 55 psi (20 psi for draft arms - See page #36) 30

NOTE: Syrup pumps DO NOT continually run endlessly, they will push syrup to your dispenser and stop when pressure you have set the secondary regulator to has been achieved. If your syrup pump does NOT shut off after a minute of setting your secondary regulator, disconnect the syrup pump that is continually running by removing the gas fitting from the active pump (see figure #9). Figure #9. Before After Figure #10. Activate each flavor to allow syrup to flow. You will hear the syrup pumps popping during this process (see figure #10). 31

20. Adjust each flavor for proper syrup and water (carbonated or plain) ratio. This can be done to taste or with a brix kit. Adjusting screws for syrup and soda water are found on the black triangular manifold. Adjusting Syrup to Soda Water Ratio (Brixing) Brixing Standard Soda Fountain Dispenser Valves Adjust each valve for proper syrup & water (carbonated or plain) ratio. This can be done to taste or with a brix kit. Remove each valve cover to expose adjusting screws for syrup & soda water. Flomatic valve 32 Cornelius UF-1 valve Lancer valve

Left side adjustment is for soda water or plain water the right side is for syrup increase or decrease. Detailed Flomatic Valve Brixing Instructions Two simple adjustments are all you need to brix the Flomatic valves. You will need a Flomatic S tube syrup separator, 5/32 inch hex wrench, watch and brix cup. Place the S-tube syrup separator over the syrup diffuser and you are ready to begin. You need not remove the nozzle. Clock-wise movement of the brix nut adjustment screw increases the flow rate and vice versa. Restrict the flow by withdrawing the brix nut adjustment screw as far as it will go (turn counterclock-wise). At this point the flow will be at a minimum. The 424 or 324 ceramic flow controls can be adjusted from 1.5 oz. /sec. to 3.0 oz. /sec. Turn the soda brix nut adjustment screw five full turns clock-wise and the flow rate should be close to 2.5 oz/sec. You will need to fine tune from there. For fast flow, 33

continue adjusting the valve until you get 7.5 oz. of soda in 3 seconds. Once the soda flow rate is set, then establish the syrup ratio in exactly the same way. The 464GP ceramic flow controls can be adjusted from 2.0 oz./ sec. to 4.0 oz./sec. Turn the soda brix nut adjustment screw five full turns clockwise and the flow rate should be close to 3.0 oz./ sec. You will need to fine tune from there. For fast flow, continue adjusting the valve until you get 9.0 oz. Of soda in 3 seconds. Once the soda flow rate is set, then establish the syrup ratio in exactly the same way. Most brix cups are calibrated for a standard brix ratio. Adjust the syrup flow with movement of the adjusting screw until the desired ratio is established. Some Flo-matic valves are equipped with a flow washer on the water side instead of flow controls. In that case, it is not necessary to set the flow rate. Simply set the syrup ratio and you are done. Flomatic juice valves may combine with a flow washer on the water side. The syrup side may be manufactured with a flow control or metering screw. The metering screw turns clockwise to close and counter clockwise to open. The screw does not have a stop; be sure not to withdraw completely when under pressure. 34

Brixing Draft Arm Dispensers 1. Remove the black nozzle on the head of the draft arm. 2. Unlock the lock nut by using an adjustable wrench to turn it clockwise (right). This will allow you to turn the syrup tube. 3. Screw the syrup tube (right) all the way in (clockwise) and then back it out (counterclockwise) 1 ¾ - 2 full turns. This should give you the proper syrup flow. If the syrup needs to be increased, screw the syrup tube in ¼ turn (clockwise). Turn the syrup tube out (counterclock wise) to decrease the flow of syrup. 35

Fine adjustments should be made with the soda water or plain water adjusting screw, which is the flat head screw on the front of the draft head. Remember, these types of dispensers run best on very low syrup pump pressure (start at 20 psi. on your secondary regulator). Sweetness can also be adjusted by the increase and decrease of the syrup pump pressure. 36

Sanitation Chapter 5 37

Prepare a large bucket with warm to hot tap water. Mix sanitizer packet (1 packet to each 2 ½ gallons of water) You may also use liquid bleach (unscented) ¼ oz. bleach to each gallon of water. If you have Coke or Pepsi bag in box connectors (right), you will need to open the spring loaded safety valve to allow liquid to draw through the bag in box connector. Pepsi and Coke BIB connectors You can also remove the syrup BIB connector from the clear suction hose on the syrup pump to allow sanitizer to pass. Reconnect BIB connector with a standard worm clamp at the completion of sanitizing. 38 If you have the grey generic style connectors, you can remove the tan cap (right) to allow sanitizer to pass.

If you have access to an empty syrup box, cut the bladder connect off (see pictures below). This will allow you to attach it to your BIB connect during flushing & sanitizing. Put each syrup pump suction hose in the sanitizing solution and activate dispenser until sanitizer flows freely from the nozzle. 39

Troubleshooting Chapter 6 41

PROBLEM QUESTION SOLUTION Nothing happens when the beverage valve is activated Only syrup is dispensing from the valves Only water is dispensing from all valves Is the transformer plugged in? Is there power to the electrical outlet? Is the valve switch defective? Is the valve properly connected? Is there product going to the beverage valve? Is the carbonator plugged in? Is the water supply turned on? Is the CO 2 supply on? Is the CO 2 pressure set correctly? Is an obstruction in the water line? Are the water lines connected properly? Do you have enough CO 2 gas in the CO 2 tank? Do you have syrup? Are system pressures set correctly? Are the syrup connectors properly connected? Plug into transformer receptacle Restore power to the outlet Check and replace the valve switch Ensure power wires to the switch are connected Turn ON the valve backblock shut-off Carbonator must be plugged in The minimum water supply must be provided 35-50 PSI Check the CO 2 tank to see if it is turned on. If it is, replace or refill it. The CO 2 pressure to the carbonator must be set between 100-105 PSI. Check and set all system pressures to the correct settings. Remove the obstruction Reconnect the water lines correctly Replace or refill CO 2 tank Check and replace any empty boxes of syrup Adjust and reset pressures to their proper settings Remove the connectors and properly reinstall them 42

PROBLEM QUESTION SOLUTION Only water is dispensed at one or two valves Poor carbonation Is an obstruction in the water line? Are the water lines connected properly? Is the backblock shut-off closed? Is electricity getting through the valve solenoid when energized? Are the connectors to the syrup clean and properly attached? Is the syrup system obstructed or lines installed improperly? Do you have a full box of syrup? Are the Bag-in-Box (BIB) syrup pumps operating? Are your syrup lines hooked up and unobstructed? Is CO 2 pressure to the carbonator properly set? Is the carbonator air locked (all CO 2 and no water in the tank)? Is the inlet water pressure to the carbonator above the maximum 50 PSI? Is the carbonator inlet water temperature too high? Remove the obstruction Reconnect the water lines correctly Check the backblock shut-off behind the valve. If it is closed, open the backblock. Repair or replace the wiring or solenoid coil Clean the syrup connector and correctly attach the connector to the syrup connector Reconnect the lines properly or remove the obstruction to allow syrup to flow. Replace if necessary Check all connections Check syrup out lines designated for these valves The CO 2 pressure to the carbonator must be set between 100-105 PSI. Check and set all system pressures to the correct settings. Turn off carbonator and CO 2. Release vent on the tank until water comes out. Turn carbonator and CO 2 on. Minimum inlet water pressure is 35 PSI 50 PSI maximum. Install water regulator or booster pump to maintain proper pressures. Inlet temperature of the water to the carbonator should be no more than 74 degrees Fahrenheit Continued on next page... 43

PROBLEM QUESTION SOLUTION Poor carbonation (continued) Do you have CO 2 gas? Replace or refill CO 2 tank Beverage tastes weak Is the dispensed beverage temperature warm? Is the under-counter ice maker (if equipped) operating properly? Is the remote cooler (if equipped) operating properly? Is ice in the cup? Is there any residue of cleaning agents (dish detergent) in the cup? Do you have enough CO 2 to run the syrup pumps? Are your system pressures set correctly? Do you have a sufficient supply of syrup? Is the brix of the valve set correctly? Lower beverage temperature to 36-40 degrees Fahrenheit (see pages 44-45) Ensure cold plate is completely covered with ice - Check if ice bank has formed around remote cooling lines - Check for proper water level - Check power to refrigeration deck Ice to your carbonated beverage is necessary to maintain optimum beverage quality Any type of cleaning detergent residue will reduce product quality Check amount of CO 2 in tank Replace or refill our CO 2 supply Check and correctly set all system pressures Replace empty syrup containers Brix all beverage valves Beverage tastes sweet Is the brix of the valve set correctly? Brix all beverage valves Beverage has an off-taste Is the brix of the valve set correctly? Brix all beverage valves Beverage valve does not maintain brix Is the syrup supply fresh? Is the water supply filter fresh? Is water supply tubing from main water supply NSF and non-toxic? Are the CO 2 system pressures correct? Most syrups should be used within 90 days of the manufacturer Change the filter Use only NSF certified and nontoxic food grade nylon, copper, or stainless tubing for your main water supply Check and adjust any pressures and inconsistent regulators Continued on next page... 44

PROBLEM QUESTION SOLUTION Beverage valve does not maintain brix (continued) Unusual amount of foaming of finished product The beverage valve continues to operate after released Is the BIB syrup pump holding pressure? Are incoming water pressures constant? Is drink being drawn correctly? Is the dispensing nozzle or valve dirty? Is soft water being applied to the system? Is the CO 2 system pressure to the secondary regulator high? Is the drink too warm? Is the valve lever (if equipped) sticking? Is the push button actuator sticking? Repair or replace BIB syrup pump Add water booster pump or water pressure regulator to maintain proper brix Make sure cup is tilted with product flowing down the inside of the cup Clean dispensing components Do not use carbonated softened water for beverage systems Reduce pressures to the recommended settings Make sure the cooling device is working and inlet temperature of the water to the carbonator does not exceed 74 degrees Fahrenheit Replace or adjust the beverage valve lever to correct Replace or adjust the beverage valve actuator Dispensed beverage is warm Is there ice on the cold plate? Be sure ice covers the entire cold plate give the cold plate time to cool Has ice bridged over the cold plate? Is the remote cooler or undercounter ice maker plugged in or turned on?

PROBLEM QUESTION SOLUTION Carbonator does not operate BIB syrup pump will not start BIB syrup pump operates but does not pump syrup BIB syrup pump does not supply enough syrup Is the main water supply pressure too high? Is the water turned on and the CO 2 gas pressure set between 100-105 PSI? Is electric power supplied to the carbonator? Is the water level or float control of the carbonator operating properly? Is the inlet water pressure to the carbonator above the maximum 50 PSI? Do you have syrup connected to the inlet hose of the pump? Is syrup out tubing kinked or obstructed? Is the connector to the Bag-in-Box syrup properly connected? Is the CO 2 supply interrupted? Is the gas pressure to the pump correctly set? Is a beverage dispensing valve open? Is the BIB syrup pump air locked? Is the syrup BIB connector properly connected? Is the tubing from the BIB syrup box to the pump full flow and not kinked? Are the gas or air pressures supplied to the pump correct? Water supply pressure must be between 35-50 PSI Restore CO 2 supply to the carbonator within proper limits Restore electricity to the outlet that supplies the carbonator with power Repair or replace according to instructions provided by the carbonator manufacturer Minimum inlet water pressure is 35 PSI 50 PSI maximum. Install water regulator or booster pump to maintain proper pressures. Replace syrup box Remove the obstruction or straighten the line Remove and properly reconnect the BIB connector Check CO 2 supply Replace, refill, or turn on if necessary Adjust gas pressure to the recommended setting for the product Make sure CO 2 fitting is properly inserted Open beverage valve to allow syrup to flow through the system Make sure BIB pumps are installed with the outlet port on top Remove and correctly reconnect the BIB connector to the BIB container Remove/repair kink or replace hose Check and correct any incorrect gas or air pressures 46
