1.
Mix a sufficient amount of sanitizing solution (about 5 gallons) to keep the pump
submersed during sanitation. Most sanitizing solutions which require less than 2 minutes
of contact time to be effective can be used.
2.
Connect air pressure to the bottling machine before loading caps or connecting the
sanitizing pump to the machine.
3.
Fill cap feed ramps with caps, seal side down.
4.
Connect the hose to be used for bottling between the sanitizing pump and the beer
distribution manifold on the bottling machine. Be sure to clamp both ends of the hose
securely.
5.
Disconnect the 5/32" liquid line pressure sensor hose (small tubing) from the pressure
sensor located in the bottom of the control panel. To disconnect the hose, depress the
collar of the tube fitting and pull the hose out. Place the end of the hose you just
disconnected below the machine into a bucket or drain. Sanitizing solution will flow
through this line when the pump is started.
6.
Place three rows of four bottles on the bottle runway at the base of the bottle feed ramp.
When the bottling machine is started it will automatically index the bottles to the filling
and crowning stations.
7.
Press the RESET button on the interface and the “System is Reset” message will appear
at the bottom of the screen.
8.
Place the sanitizing pump into the bucket of sanitizing solution and plug it in.
9.
Press the Sanitize Off/On button to begin the sanitizing cycle. The button will change
color from red to green and the green RUN light will illuminate at the top of the screen.
A message in the bottom message bar will have the word “Sanitizing” displayed. The
machine will automatically perform two 1 minute sanitizing cycles then stop Illuminating
the PAUSE light and display in the message box “Sanitizing Complete”.
CAUTION:
The bottle filling head will come up without warning to index the next row
of bottles. Keep hands and face away from moving parts at all times.
10.
Bottle caps in the cap feed ramps will automatically feed into the capping head each time
the capping head cycles to the up position. The cap feed ramps hold enough caps for 2-3
cases of bottles. More caps can be added to the cap feed ramps at any time.
