12. While the bottle is in place, turn on the Fill Switch to
the full up position. This begins the fill cycle: first
the bottle will purge for a few seconds, then the foot
will lift and the bottle will pressurize for a few
seconds. When the fill begins, the LED at the top of
the machine will light and the fluid solenoid will
open. If no liquid is flowing, adjust the bottle
interior pressure. Adjust the knob counter clockwise
(open) to the desired flow rate. If the flow is too
fast, you may adjust the bottle interior pressure knob
clockwise (close) to slow down the flow rate.
13. When the fluid has reached the desired level, the fill
light will go out and the fluid solenoid will close.
Place the fill switch to the center position which will
deactivate the fill light and solenoid circuit. In the
center position the Bottle Foot Rest is still engaged.
14. While the Bottle Foot Rest is still engaged, turn on
the Pressure Release Switch (UP). This allows the
bottle to depressurize. Place the fill and pressure
release switch to the full down position and the
Bottle Foot Rest will disengage, allowing you to
remove the bottle for capping. After removing the
bottle and before you place your next bottle on the
filler, turn off the Pressure Release Switch
(DOWN).
Congratulations, you have now filled your first bottle using the XF2500 Counter-Pressure Filling System!
Note:
You can use the silicone surgical tubing included to fill from the bottom of the bottle or even halfway to the
bottom.
Adjusting Pressures
Should your filler pressure need to be adjusted, follow the steps listed below. Adjusting the pressure takes some
coordination, so it is recommended that you read through and understand all of the following steps before
attempting.
1. Follow steps 1-11 outlined in the setup instructions, setting the keg and CO2 pressures to your required values
rather than to the recommended settings.
2. Turn the bottle pressure adjustment knob counterclockwise until it becomes difficult to turn. Using too much
force may damage the valve.
3. Follow step 12-14 outlined in the setup instructions. Once the bottle foot rest is engaged, quickly switch to
turning the bottle pressure adjustment knob clockwise while watching the bottle pressure gauge until the desired
internal pressure is reached. This value should be roughly 5 psi lower than the keg pressure, but the optimal
value for your needs may vary.
4. Once you have reached the desired internal bottle pressure as indicated on the bottle pressure gauge, it is
recommended that you fill 1-3 test bottles to ensure the desired results have been achieved. Small adjustments
can be made using the same steps as above.
5. Repeat process on other spout.
