1. SAFETY
1.1 Electrical
This dispenser must be properly electrically grounded to avoid possible fatal electrical shock or serious injury to
the operator. The power cord is provided with a three-prong grounded plug. If a three-hole grounded electrical
outlet is not available, use an approved method to ground the dispenser. Only qualified electricians should
perform this task and the work performed should meet all applicable codes.
Always disconnect electrical power to the dispenser to prevent personal injury before attempting any internal
maintenance. Only qualified personnel should service internal components or electrical wiring.
1.2 Carbon Dioxide (CO
2
)
Strict attention must be observed in the prevention of CO
2
gas leaks in the entire CO
2
and frozen drink system.
If a CO
2
gas leak is suspected, immediately ventilate the contaminated area before attempting to repair the
leak. Personnel exposed to high concentrations of CO
2
gas will experience tremors which are followed rapidly
by loss of consciousness and suffocation.
To avoid personal injury and/or property damage, always secure CO
2
cylinders in an upright position with a
safety chain. A CO
2
cylinder with a damaged or detached valve can cause serious personal injury.
1.3 General Precautions
This equipment, depending on the model, weighs up to 194 pounds (88 kilograms) and is top-heavy. To avoid
personal injury or equipment damage, do not attempt to lift the dispenser without help. The use of a mechan-
ical lift is highly recommended. When lifting and positioning the dispenser, it should always stay in a vertical
upright position.
Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the dispenser.
Prior to use, persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge should be supervised or instructed about the use of the dispenser by a person
responsible for their safety.
2. Unit in Storage
If a unit is going to be placed in storage for an extended period (more than 90 days), it is recommended that
all rubber components be replaced (o-rings, rear seal, expansion tank, etc.). Failure to replace rubber compo-
nents could cause leaks which may damange components.
DANGER
!
ASPHYXIATION HAZARD
When the dispenser is mounted onto a base cart, it must be secured to the cart with bolts. Use
caution when moving the cart. Avoid surfaces that are not level and smooth under the width
of the casters to prevent tipping.
