A.Fill ice storage hopper with ice.

B.Water supply must be from a continuous source (no tank supply).

C.Use only filtered water.

D.Supply water line to the carbonator pump must be a minimum of .375 ID.

E.Syrup supply lines must be a minimum of .265 ID.

F.Water inlet pressure range: 45-60 max. static psig. with a minimum flowing pressure of 30 psig.

G.Syrup CO2 secondary regulator pressure set to 60 psig.

H.CO2 supply must be high quality, food grade.

I.Purge all water, carb-water, and product lines of air before brixing valves.

J.Important: Brix valves with cold product. Allow at least 15-20 minutes for ice to cool down the coldplate on initial start-up before brixing the valves.

K.Dispense at least (2) 12 oz. drinks before taking a carbonation level reading.

L.Carbonation tester thermometer must read 32-33oF. for accurate carb-level reading. Store tester in ice water bath during use.

M.Hold cup at valve nozzle for drink to be tested. Pour drink slowly down the side wall into the carb- tester to avoid agitation during pouring. Press vent valve once on carb-tester after tightening lid.

N.Shake carb-tester in vertical motion until peak pressure reading is obtained. Use Pepsi chart for carbonation level reading.
