Warning:
Failure to correctly install and tighten the lid clamp can cause the lid to blow off during
pressurization resulting in serious injury or death! Please contact your Authorized Fermenator
TM
Distributor or Blichmann Engineering (www.BlichmannEngineering.com) if you have any questions
about proper assembly. Do not operate the unit until you are certain that you understand the proper
installation procedure.
Lid Hatch
Install the pressure relief valve filter spring on the inside of the
lid hatch as shown in Fig. 8. The purpose of this filter is to
keep particles from clogging the relief valve, which may lead to
a dangerous over-pressurization of the tank. Install lid in the
oval hole in the lid (Fig 10). Place the small orange o-ring on
the pressure relief valve piston (Fig. 9) and place it in the small
hole in the lid as shown in the photo to the right (bottom). The
weight of the piston will limit the pressure in the unit to 3 PSI.
Warning:
read the “Operation Section” prior to use to prevent
over pressurization of the fermentor !! It is critical that the
pressure relief valve filter spring be installed on the lid to help prevent foreign material from clogging the
pressure relief valve opening.
