only depress the Lever a little, your wine will flow in a small rapid stream and become
needlessly aerated (surface bubbles).
We recommend putting a water-filled wine bottle in at this time. Please refer to “Bottle
Heads” below. This water-filled bottle will serve as a practice run to increase your
familiarization and comfort with the system.
All vacant Bottle Valves must be OFF
Turn the Valve on your practice bottle ON
Turn the Master Gas Valve ON.
Check the Red Regulator (if provided) to be sure it is 3 turns open (or if using
separately-supplied regulators, set to ~3-4psig).
Tilt a wine glass toward the Trip Lever on the Tap, and fully depress the glass against the
Lever.
Pull the glass back when it is at a desirable level.
If the flow was too slow or too fast, you can adjust the regulator accordingly.
Now try it again, but this time only depress the level slightly. This is the
incorrect
way to
dispense, but it is illustrative of why it is incorrect: When only open slightly, the pressure at
the small opening is concentrated something like a squirt gun, resulting in a thin, rapid
stream of water (or wine). Pushing in again, but fully, you will see a gentle, controlled
flow.
INSPECT TAP CAPS: Please check to assure the round caps under the tap valve actuators
are seated properly – snug clockwise rotation. (See arrow in diagram below.)
