1. Clean wash and sanitise the tank at
temperatures below 50°C (122F). Do not
fill the tank with wort or liquid above
50°C
(122F)
2. Cleaners must be diluted to suitable
concentrations before use. If extended
contact time is expected, then users
must ensure that cleaners are chemically
compatible with PET, Silicone, EPDM,
Polypropylene and Stainless Steel.
Approved cleaners and sanitisers for use
on this fermenter include: ABC (Part code
9006) Sodium Percarbonate (Part codes
6172, 6141) Sodium Metasilicate (Part
code RET4533) Atomic 15 Foaming (Part
code 9001) Atomic 15 Annihilator (Part
code 9002) or Phosphoric acid-based
sanitisers.
3. Do not apply more than
2.4 bar (35 psi)
to
the tank under any circumstance.
4. NEVER connect to an unregulated
pressure source.
5. If you connect an external pressure
source; ensure it has an independent
pressure release valve (PRV) pre-set
to below 2.4 bar (35 psi).
6. Use only the
RED
pressure release
valve supplied by MCH Australia Pty
Ltd on the pressure lid.
7. Do not tamper with the pressure relief
valve.
8. Do not use the tank under pressure
if it has been physically damaged i.e.
dropped on the ground
9. Do not expose to temperatures below
-2°C (28.5°F).
10. Keep the tank out of direct sunlight
and other sources of UV radiation.
11. The tank is pressure tested at
production and is marked with a date
for retesting. If it is being used under
pressure, then a hydrostatic test must
be conducted after every 24 months of
use to ensure that it is safe for reuse.
WARNINGS
PRESSURE LID ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Clean and sanitise all components prior to
assembly.
2. Thread the red pressure release valve into
the pressure lid. Screw down firmly.
3. Ensure that the gas and liquid bulkhead
fittings are correctly assembled with the
post fully tightened onto the Pressure Lid.
Insert the bulkhead fittings into the holes in
the pressure lid and tighten the locknuts.
O-rings should be located on the top
surface of the lid for correct sealing.
4. Lubricate the silicone dip tube with some
non-rinse sanitiser and slide one end over
the stem of the liquid post bulkhead fitting.
Slide the other end of the silicon tube over
the floating pickup tube.
5. Lubricate the entire silicone lid seal
with some food grade lubricant and fit
to the underside of the Gravity Lid.
6. Place the pressure lid on the mouth
of the Fermenter and ensure that the
seal seats correctly.
7. Put a small amount of food grade
lubricant on the top outer ring of the
cap.
8. Place the top thread ring over the lid
and tighten firmly.
Attention: Ensure the ring pull on your
PRV is lying out of the way and not
against the posts on the lid as this could
result in a poor connection when attaching
disconnects.
