■Remove the faucet from the line to which the Beer Line Cleaner pump will be connected. Soak faucets and brush clean before reinstalling.

■Follow standard beer line cleaning procedures. Perlick recommends that the lines first be flushed with clean warm water (Water temperature not to exceed 100 degrees). Mix
Circulate the solution thoroughly (Time for circulation dependent on length of the system and pump capabilities). Rinse the lines using clean cold water (Ensure all line cleaning solution has been removed from the lines to prevent hazardous results).

■Reconnect couplers to keg and open dispensing head faucets until clear beer flows.

After completing the rins- ing step, prepare a mixture of 50% food grade Glycerine and 50% water. Load the lines with this mixture and make sure both ends of the system are closed. Glycerine/water mixture should remain in the lines for the duration of the shutdown period.
