Main Menu
Purge Button
Each head has a "
Purge
" button used to manually open the Co2 valve while pressed. This is useful to
push beer, foam or water out of the Co2 or vent line. The button is also used to clear a "bridge" of foam
or liquid in the fill head. Another function of this button is to check for leaks in the fill head. For more
information see the troubleshooting section below.
Crowner Down
The Crowner Down button is used to manually crown a bottle. This would be used if the crown was not
on properly and had to be crowned again. The crowner will only operate as long as the button is held in.
For setting up or adjusting the crowner use the "
Manual Control
" screen.
CAUTION: Do not hold onto the bottle while operating the crowners manually.
Cycle & Fill Time
These timers show the current cycle and fill times and are only used for comparing and maximizing cycle
times.
Stop Buttons
The Stop buttons are used to stop an individual head rather than stopping all four heads by using the
main Stop switch. Pressing the button once will stop the current operation, vent the pressure and lift the
head. Pressing the button twice will lift the head immediately.
Screen Navigation Bar
These push buttons are used to move from screen to screen. They are located on each screen.
Messages
As the machine goes through its cycles, messages appear in the message box explaining what part of the
cycle is currently running. If for some reason there is a fault and the cycle cannot be completed a
message will appear with the fault description. For details on the fault messages see the troubleshooting
section of this manual. Upon pressing the Start Switch the previous messages will clear.
