Operating Procedures

Step By Step

1. 

You will first want to unpack your filler from the 

shipping box and spread the components out on a 
large flat surface. Make sure that you also have the 
following:

a. Pressurized CO2 tank with regulator and 

connecting hosing (we recommend a wye as well, 
see setup diagram for details).

b. Air compressor and 

1/4" 

hosing

c. A small (.5 liter or so) catch container for 

collecting vented liquid

.

2. Place your filler on a flat surface where you plan to 

bottle, ensuring that you have access to a standard 
wall outlet or extension cord. Some type of surge 
protection / power conditioner is recommended. 
Place the liquid and CO2 tanks, as well as the air 
compressor, nearby. Attach the support legs by 
sliding the legs between the enclosure and the rubber 
feet. The support legs should extend forward, 
however if you extend them out the back you need to 
clamp them to the flat surface.

3. Begin by plugging the provided power cord into your 

machine, and then plug it into the wall. Now is a 
good time to make sure that when you turn the 
machine on, the green power switch lights up

4. Once you are sure that you have power to the 

machine, flip all switches to their down or off 
position. This includes all Fill Switches and all 
Pressure Release Switches.

5. 

Plug the hose from your liquid container into the 

port marked “Inlet” on the left side of the machine 
using one of the provided 3/8” barbed fittings. See 
“Adjusting Pressures” on page 11.

6. 

Plug one end of the provided 4’ x 1/4” hose into 

the port marked “Vent” on the left side of the 
machine, and place the other end into your catch 
container.

7. 

Plug your air compressor into the port marked 

“Air” on the left side of the machine using one of 
the provided 1/4” barbed fittings. See “Adjusting 
Pressures” on page 11.

8. 

Plug your CO2 tank into the port marked “CO2” 

on the left side of the machine using one of the 
provided 1/4” barbed fittings.

9. 

Once you are sure that all components are plugged 

in correctly, you can open the valves on your tanks 
and turn the air compressor on.

10. 

Turn on your machine by flipping the power 

switch on the right side of your machine so that it 
is lit up.

11. 

You are now ready to place a bottle on your 

machine. While pressing down on the Bottle Foot 
Rest, place a bottle on the Bottle Foot Rest and 
allow the Bottle Foot Rest to lift the bottle towards 
the stopper. The bottle does not seal yet, let it rest 
in place near the stopper.

It is highly recommended that water be used during the initial set up procedure. Water allows you to familiarize
yourself with the filler by removing most variables related to your product, for ease of operation, and the
reduction of waste of your product.
