START-UP PROCEDURE
1.
Confirm that
all tubing connections are properly clamped, fittings are tight, and tubing is not kinked. Install bag connector to
the B-I-B.
2.
Adjust gas regulator to about 20 psi [1.4 bar] allowing the pump to stroke slowly.
3.
Operate the valve until all air trapped within the tubing has been purged.
4.
Once the air has been purged, adjust the CO2 regulator to the pressure necessary to maintain the desired brix. The most
efficient gas usage occurs at 40 psi [2.8 bar]. MAXIMUM static gas pressure to the pump is 85 psi [5.8 bar], minimum 20
psi [1.4 bar]. Typical beverage standards operate @ 60-65 psi. Gas operating range is 20-85 psi.
Flow rates that result in a stroke-rate of more than two strokes per second will decrease pump life. (Consult factory) Pump
failure due to "overrunning" is not covered by the limited warranty. To prevent air from entering the system always leave the
bag connector attached to the empty B-I-B until a new B-I-B can be installed. Air entered into the system, via air in the bags
or vacuum leaks, may cause brix fluctuation, foaming, spitting, non-operation of the vacuum sold-out or pump "run-on" with
the valve closed. Symptoms of this kind can lead to a misdiagnosis of the pump.
BEVERAGE SYSTEM ACCESSORIES
Automatic Selector Valve (ASV)
Eliminate the chore of replacing B-I-B’s during peak business periods. Teeing B-I-B’s
together still causes them to empty at the same time. An ASV permits multiple B-I-B’s to be
connected to a particular pump. Once the B-I-B(s) on one side have completely emptied
the ASV automatically switches sides to full B-I-B’s. An ASV allows uninterrupted drink
dispensing with the ability to replace empty B-I-B’s at a more convenient time.
Sold-Out-Switch (SOS)
The SOS kit prevents the dispensing of syrup starved drinks by interrupting water flow at
the dispenser valve. An exceptionally useful feature for lemon lime (clear) sodas and
drivethru windows. The SOS senses the pressure drop in the syrup line caused by an
empty B-I-B and interrupts power to the valves’ electric solenoid. The SOS automatically
resets with the installation of a full B-I-B.
