Start-Up Procedure
1. Confirm that all tubing connections are properly clamped, fittings are tight, and tubing is
not kinked.
2. Fully engage BIB connector to insure proper syrup flow.
3. Adjust gas regulator to 1.4 bar (20 psi), allowing the pump to stroke slowly.
4. Operate the valve until all air trapped within the tubing has been purged.
5. Set gas pressure and brix. Adjust the gas regulator to the pressure necessary to
maintain the desired brix. The most efficient gas usage occurs at 2.8 bar (40 psi).
Maximum static gas pressure to the pump is 5.8 bar (85 psi); minimum is 1.4 bar (20
psi). Any time the pressure is changed on the BIB system, the brix should be checked to
ensure drink quality.
(Notes: 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 BIB until a new BIB can be installed. Air entering into the system via air in the
bags or vacuum leaks can cause brix fluctuation, foaming, spitting, non-operation of the
vacuum sold-out or pump "run-on" with the valve closed.).
