CO2(CARBON DIOXIDE) WARNING
DANGER - CO2Displaces Oxygen. Strict Attention must be observed in
the prevention of CO2gas leaks in the entire CO2and soft drink system. If a
CO2gas leak is suspected, particularly in a small area, immediately ventilate
the contaminated area before attempting to repair the leak. Personnel exposed

tems and components of the machine.
The control system is set up by the service provider to perform the tasks neces-
sary to operate the unit. No additional changes to these settings should be
needed. The control system also keeps track of diagnostic information for the
machine.
