The valves on the tanks should be off for steps 9-11
9.
Plug the hose from your liquid container into the port
marked “Inlet” on the left side of the machine using
one of the provided 3/8” barbed fittings.
See “Adjusting Pressure” on page 12.
10. Plug one end of the provided 4’ x 1/4” tube into the
port marked “Vent” on the left side of the machine,
and place the other end into your catch basin.
11. Plug your air compressor into the port marked “Air”
on the left side of the machine using one of the
provided 1/4” barbed fittings.
See “Adjusting Pressure” on page 12.
12. Plug your CO2 tank into the port marked “CO2” on
the left side of the machine using one of the
provided 1/4” barbed fittings.
13. Once you are sure that all components are plugged
in correctly, you can open the valves on your tanks
and turn on the air compressor.
14. Turn on your machine by flipping the power switch
on the right side of your machine so that is it lit up.
15. You are now ready to place a can on your machine.
While pressing down on the Can Foot Rest, place a
can on the can locator and lift the foot so the can
slides snuggly over the stopper.
16.
Make sure the Pressure Release Switch is in the off
position (DOWN).
Note:
A clear can has been provided to help with the
initial setup, steps 17-20. Setup is done for each spout
individually.
Always keep your hands clear of the can and foot
rest during step 17.
17.
Flip the Fill Switch to the full up position. The filler
will purge the can for a few seconds, after which
the Can Foot Rest will immediately lift the can into
a sealing position against the stopper and pressurize
the can.
18. After the purge and can pressurization, the fill light
will come on and liquid begins to flow into the can.
If no flow is visible, then the Pressure Relief needs
adjustment.
See “Adjusting Pressure” on page 12.
Repeat steps 15 – 18 for the other spouts.
19. Once the green fill light deactivates, put the Fill
Toggle Switch to the middle position (
do not flip
to
the full down position), then you can turn on the
Pressure Release Switch (UP).
20. Hold the can with one hand and flip the Fill Toggle
Switch to the full down position to release air in the
pneumatic ram and remove the can by pushing
down on the foot rest. At this stage, you may choose
to press the Top Off Button to inject a “shot” of
beverage to create an additional volume of foam on
which to place the lid prior to seaming.
Note:
You can use the silicone surgical tubing included
to fill from the bottom of the can or even halfway to the
bottom.
Congratulations,
you have now filled your first can using
the XF4500C Counter-Pressure Filling System!
