OPERATION
RACKING
Regardless if you are working on pre-mix or post-mix (B-I-B or Figal) system, a place will be designated for placement
of the product. A rack (or shelf) system affords systematic placement and complete usage of the beverage paid for. The
B-I-B rack allows the boxes to lay properly for syrup dispersal. Please check with your B-I-B syrup supplier. Some boxes
must be slightly tilted down, while others may be in virtually any position. The Figal tank rack keeps the newer and full
tanks organized at one end of the beverage line with the partial tanks at the other.
B-I-B
The Bag-In-Box system refers to a plastic disposable bag. The B-I-B normally contains 5 gallons of syrup, however
some locations offer 2 1/2 or 3 gallon B-I-B units. This plastic bag is then held inside a cardboard or other container. B-
I-B systems are for post-mix applications only.
PUMPS
The syrup in a B-I-B system is delivered to the beverage system through gas operated pumps. These pumps extract the
syrup out of the bags forcing the syrup throughout the system.
AUTO BAG SELECTORS
These are used on higher volume B-I-B systems where two or more bags of the same product are connected to one
pump and one system. An auto bag selector is essentially a valve that automatically changes from one bag (or series of
bags) to another bag (or series of bags) of syrup as the bags empty, allowing a constant flow of product.

aintenance Program.
1. Conduct the daily and nightly recommended mainte-
nance of the machine.
2. Perform the monthly recommended maintenance of
the machine.
3. Perform periodic maintenance and sanitizing of bev-
erage system.
5. Do not allow the dispenser to sit for prolonged periods
of non use.
WINTERIZATION
Servend equipment is rated for indoor use only. This
equipment will not operate in sub-freezing temperatures.
In a situation when temperatures drop below freezing
the equipment must be turned off immediately and prop-
erly winterized. Contact the manufacturer for winteriza-
tion processes.
NOTE:
The minimum to maximum ambient temperature
that the unit should be installed and operated at is 40 de-
grees F to 105 degrees F (4.44 C to 40.56 C).

HANDLING
All CO
2
tanks must be chained and/or affixed to a permanent
post or wall. Changing of or recharging tanks should be
done by a trained individual. Contents of the tanks are
stored at an extreme high pressure and can cause physical
damage if not handled properly.
DANGER:
Carbon Dioxide (CO
2
) displaces oxygen. Expo-
sure to a high concentration of CO
2
gas causes tremors,
which are followed rapidly by loss of consciousness and
suffocation. If a CO
2
gas leak is suspected, particularly in a
small area, immediately ventilate the area before repairing
the leak. CO
2
lines and pumps should not be installed in an
enclosed space. An enclosed space can be a cooler or
small room or closet. This may include convenience stores
with glass door self serve coolers. If you suspect CO
2
may
build up in an area, venting of the B-I-B pumps and / or CO
2
monitors should be utilized.
