To change the fill time on your XF460 simply follow these steps:
a.
Each digit can be changed with the numbered push button below the display. Once
you dial in your desired time, down to .001 seconds, press the RST button to save the
changes.
b.
Refer to your flow calibration sheet to get a rough idea where to start with the time
setting for your volume of product. Fine tune your time according to your desired
volumes in your bottles.
NOTE:
The times shown on your flow calibration sheet are for reference only. The
time, translating into ml, varies by product viscosity, temperature and other factors.
2.5
Place your bottles under each of the four spouts. Push the start button or hold the manual
button to allow the pump to prime until you notice a constant flow.
NOTE:
To make sure there is no air in the flow path, turn the inline strainer upside down
while the pump is running. This ensures that the air bubble in the strainer housing mostly
dissolves, although a little air bubble in the strainer is normal.
2.6
Empty the bottles and place them back under all the spouts, then press the start button.
The digital timer will count down the fill time. During the first cycle, be ready to hit the
stop button in case you set the time too long. You then can refine your level by changing
the time. The time you input will remain in the memory next time you turn on your filler,
until you change it.
3.
Optional Gas Sparge
If your filler has the gas sparge option, first make sure you have the hose going into the filler
safely connected to your gas tank and pressure regulator. Recommended pressure is 20-30 psi. To
flush your bottle, simply push the “gas” button before you start the filling cycle.

Troubleshooting
Before calling the factory, please read through the Troubleshooting guide:
-
The Bottle Filler is not priming.
Your XF460 XpressFill Bottle Filler is equipped with a diaphragm pump. Over time the
valve kit for the pump, depending on age and use, might lose some of its effectiveness.
This is an easily exchangeable part (around $20 US). The indication that a valve kit has
failed is that the pump does not prime, but you hear the pump running.
If you are desperate to bottle, try to fill the Transfer Kit with your product to get some
workload off the pump and order a new valve kit as soon as possible.
