GAS BOTTLE
Safety instructions for using CO
2
gas cylinders.
Not following these instructions may lead to serious or fatal injuries!
Always connect the CO
2
cylinder to the
regulator. Never connect the cylinder
directly to the carbonator to avoid the
danger of bursting. Never unscrew
fittings from containers.
Always keep the cylinder away from
heat.
Only connect the CO
2
cylinder if:
•
The gas cylinder location is sufficiently
ventilated OR a CO
2
warning device
is installed. Always ventilate the area
after CO
2
leakage!
•
The CO
2
cylinder is in an upright posi-
tion, secured well with the safety strap
and located at a safe distance (mini-
mum 20 in) from any heat sources.
•
It is proved that there is no liquid gas
escape.
•
The suitable pressure regulator with
safety valve for the dispenser is avail-
able.
•
The safety valve is sealed and fully
functional.
WARNING!
CO
2
is a colorless, odorless
gas. Danger of suffocation.
•
Observe the operating instructions
for handling CO
2
compressed gas
cylinders.
•
In the case of a suspected increase
in CO
2
concentrations, do not
breathe in, exit the danger area
and sufficiently ventilate the place
of installation.
•
Dissipate the CO
2
in accordance
with state and local law and regu-
lation.
•
Always run hoses so that they
cannot come into contact with heat
sources, moisture, oil, sharp ob-
jects, sharp edges etc. Do not bend
or pinch hoses.
•
Do not touch a frozen CO
2
bottle.
WARNING!
Increasing the pressure above
65 PSI can cause damage resulting
in leaks and/or system failure.
WARNING!
Danger to life from CO
2
bottle pressure!
In the case of improper
handling, the pressure on the CO
2
bottle can lead to serious or even fatal
injuries. Before replacing the CO
2
bottle:
•
Establish a pressureless state.
Also discharge residual pressure.
•
Always ensure that the unintended
escape of CO
2
is prevented.
•
Have defective parts – to which
pressure would be applied during
normal operation – immediately
replaced by a trained person.
•
Always secure CO
2
bottles in
an upright position and secure
against falling.
•
Always observe the safety notes
on the CO
2
bottle.
1.
CO
2
bottle is empty.
2.
Close the CO
2
bottle valve
F
.
3.
Pull the cap
C
up.
4.
Turn knob (counterclockwise) as far
as it will go.
5.
Remove the hose from the empty
cylinder
E
.
6.
Remove cyclinder
D.
Secure it
upright.
7.
Secure the new cylinder upright with
safety strap. Remove dust cap from
new cylinder.
8.
With cylinder valve
F
in closed po-
sition, reattach regulator to cylinder
E
. Taprite regulators have an inlet
nipple seal (O-ring) that eliminates
the need for a washer. Tighten nut
with wrench. Ensure all connections
are tightened. Do not overtighten.
9.
Open CO
2
bottle valve
F
all the
way. Check gauge
A.
The dis-
played pressure gauge should stay
stable when you close valve again.
10.
Check for leakage with solution
of soapy water or an equivalent.
Appearing bubbles are a sign of
leakage. If leakage problem can
not be solved, contact the customer
service (see rear page).
11.
Open the CO
2
bottle valve
F
. Turn
cap knob (clockwise) until 65 PSI
is reached and then press down on
the cap to lock in place.
