[b] LEADING BEER TO TAP
1) Check that the regulator adjust dial is set to the appropriate
pressure specified by the beer company.
2) Check that the beer tap lever is closed. Opening the keg coupler
with the beer tap lever open will cause beer to splash out.
3) Open the keg coupler.
4) Set a mug to receive beer, and push the beer tap lever hard to
the back (foam position). Keep pushing it to dispense foam. When
the mug is half filled with foam, move the lever back to its original
position to stop foam.
5) Wait for more than 1 minute after step 4) to settle beer in the circuit.
6) Set another mug, and pull the beer tap lever toward you to
dispense beer. Keep dispensing beer until foam turns into liquid.
7) Check the keg coupler and keg connection and the beer hose joints
for beer leaks.
IMPORTANT
Frequently dump water and beer from the drain pan. The
cooling water in the water tank will increase in volume by taking
moisture from the air, and come out through the overflow hose
into the drain pan. If left as it is, water will flow out of the drain
pan onto the floor.
[c] DISPENSING BEER
3) To dispense foam, push the beer tap lever hard
toward the unit from the stop position. To stop
foam, move the lever back to its original position.
IMPORTANT
If the beer circuit is not flushed with beer remaining on the
beer tap, the valve shaft jams inside the beer tap, resulting in
unavailable, unstable, or continuous dispensing actions. In this
case, disassemble and clean the beer tap in accordance with “III.
5. DISASSEMBLY AND CLEANING OF BEER TAP (WEEKLY)”.
[d] END OF OPERATION
1) Close the keg coupler, and remove it from the keg. Flush the beer
circuit according to “III. 1. BEER CIRCUIT (DAILY)” and “III. 4.
CLEANING BEER CIRCUIT WITH SPONGE (WEEKLY)”.
2) Turn the regulator adjust dial counterclockwise to “0”.
3) Shut off the CO2 gas cylinder by turning the main valve clockwise.
4) Wipe moisture from the nozzle end. Wash the nozzle cap clean,
and fit it on the nozzle. The nozzle cap must be removed and
stored in a clean place during operation.

Nozzle cap
1) Tilt a clean mug at an angle of 45°, and
place its inner surface in contact with the
liquid nozzle of the beer tap.
2) Pull the beer tap lever toward you to
dispense beer over the inner surface of
the mug.
3) After dispensing a specific amount of
beer, move the beer tap lever back to its
original position to stop beer.
4) To add foam, push the beer tap lever to
the back. Foam will keep coming out of
the foam nozzle of the beer tap while the
lever is pushed. To stop foam, move the
lever back to its original position.
IMPORTANT
1. To prevent excessive mixture of CO2 gas in draft keg beer,
be sure to close the main valve of the CO2 gas cylinder at
the end of operation.
2. The accessory nozzle cap protects the beer tap nozzle
against dust or insects while the dispenser is not used.
Always cap the nozzle at the end of operation.
3. When the keg coupler on the keg is closed, gas may stay
inside the beer circuit. To prevent excessive foaming or
improper dispensing actions, lead beer into the beer circuit
until gas comes out of the beer tap before starting operation
on the following day.
III. MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT
1. After closing time, be sure to carry out the following
maintenance procedures.
2. Follow the maintenance instructions below whenever
considered necessary.
3. In cleaning operations, be careful not to lose any parts. The
unit will leak water or fail to dispense properly.
4. Always use clean hands and cloths to conduct cleaning
operations.
5. As a sanitizer, use a mixture of warm water (30 - 40°C) and
10 mL of 10% invert soap (benzalkonium chloride). Before
using the sanitizer, thoroughly read the instructions provided.
6. To prevent damage to the plastic surfaces, do not use
thinner, benzine, petroleum, soap powder, polishing powder,
alkaline detergent, scrub brush, and especially cleanser for
use on fans and cooking ranges. Also, to prevent corrosion,
do not use a chlorine bleach (sodium hypochlorite).
