GENERAL INFORMATION
IMPORTANT: To the user of this manual - This manual is a guide for installing, operating, and
maintaining this equipment. Refer to table of contents for page location of detailed information
pertaining to questions that arise during installation, operation, service and maintenance, or
troubleshooting this equipment.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This section gives the Unit description, theory of operation, and design data for the four and five-flavor SpiritTM
Post-Mix Dispensers (see Figure 1) hereafter referred to as Units. All Units require a remote carbonator.
UNIT DESCRIPTION
The Units are compact with high-impact and corrosion-resistant moulded lower housings. The Units may be
island-mounted or installed on a front or rear counter. Their refrigeration assemblies are 1/3 H.P. drop-in type
and are easily removed for service and maintenance. All Units have electric dispensing valves which are easily
adjusted to provide an optimum water-to-syrup ratio.
Installation of Unit on countertop, installation of LOOSE-SHIPPED PARTS, connections to remote carbonator
and plain water and syrup supplies, adjustment of CO2regulators, filling water tank with water, and plugging
Unit power cord into electrical outlet is all that is required for Unit operation. Legs which elevate the Unit four
inches above the countertop are available as P/N 314744000. When ordering, specify four each.
CAUTION: Before shipping, storing, or relocating Unit, syrup systems must be sanitized
and all sanitizing solution must be purged from syrup coils. All water must be purged from
carbonated and plain water systems and ice bank melted and all water drained from water
tank. A freezing ambient environment will cause residual water remaining inside Unit to freeze
resulting in damage to internal components.

THEORY OF OPERATION
(see Figure 2)
WARNING: CO2displaces oxygen. Strict attention must be observed in the prevention of
CO2(carbon dioxide) gas 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 to high concentration of CO2gas will experience
tremors which are followed rapidly by loss of consciousness and suffocation.
NOTE: The Unit was set up at the factory to dispense a still (non-carbonated) drink from No. 3
dispensing valve and carbonated drinks from remaining valves. No. 3 dispensing valve may be
converted to also dispense a carbonated drink. Refer to TABLE OF CONTENTS for conversion
instructions.
A CO2cylinder delivers carbon dioxide (CO2) gas through adjustable CO2regulators to syrup tanks and to the
remote carbonator. Plain water enters remote carbonator tank and is carbonated by regulated CO2pressure
also entering tank. When all dispensing valves except No. 3 are opened, CO2pressure exerted upon contents
of syrup tanks pushes syrup from tanks, through Unit syrup cooling coils, to dispensing valves. Carbonated
water is pushed from remote carbonator by CO2pressure and is pushed through Unit carbonated water cooling
coils to dispensing valves. Syrup and carbonated water meet simultaneously at dispensing valves resulting in
carbonated drinks being dispensed. A still (non-carbonated) drink is dispensed from No. 3 dispensing valve in
same manner as carbonated drinks except plain water is substituted for carbonated water.
When Unit power cord is plugged into electrical outlet and POWER switch is placed in ‘‘ON’’ position,
compressor, condenser fan motor, and agitator motor will start and begin forming an ice bank in the water tank.
When full ice bank has been formed, compressor and condenser fan motor will stop but agitator motor will
continue to operate circulating ice water in the water tank. Water tank ice bank control will cycle compressor and
condenser fan motors on and off as required to maintain a full ice bank.

2. Open CO2cylinder shutoff valve slightly to allow lines to slowly fill with gas, then open valve fully to
back-seat valve. (Back-seating valve prevents leakage around valve shaft.)
WARNING: CO2displaces oxygen. Strict attention must be observed in the prevention of
CO2(carbon dioxide) gas 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 to high concentration of CO2gas will experience
tremors which are followed rapidly by loss of consciousness and suffocation.
3. Check all CO2connections for leaks. Tighten loose connections.
4. Adjust primary CO2regulator for carbonator and secondary CO2regulators for syrup tanks (see Figure 2)
to specified pressures as follows:

11 317961000
Carbonator Primary CO2Regulator.
Refer to manual provided with carbonator and adjust primary CO2regulator for carbonator operating
pressure.
Sugar Syrup Tanks Secondary CO2Regulator.
Adjust sugar syrup tanks secondary CO2Regulator at 45-psig for syrup lines up to 10-feet in length plus
one pound for each additional length of 10-feet, plus one pound for each 2-feet of vertical lift. For example;
if syrup line total length is 30-feet and total vertical lift is 6-feet, then 45-psig + 2-psig (1-pound for every
2-feet of vertical lift which is 6-feet); total equals 45 + 2 + 3 = 50-psig CO2regulator setting. Loosen lock
nut on CO2regulator adjusting screw, turn adjusting screw to the right (clockwise) until gage registers
desired pressure, then tighten lock nut.
Low-Calorie (diet) Syrup Tank Secondary CO2Regulator.
Adjust low-calorie (diet) soft drink tank secondary CO2regulator at 10-psig for syrup lines up to 30-feet in
length. Syrup lines longer than 30-feet in length may require a slightly higher CO2regulator setting to
12-psig maximum. Excessive CO2pressure may cause low-calorie syrup carbonation resulting in foam.
5. Open plain water inlet supply line shutoff valve. Check for water leaks and tighten any loose connections.
6. Plug carbonator power cord into electrical outlet carbonator will start and continue to operate until
carbonated water tank is full.
7. Dispense from dispensing valves until all air is purged from carbonated and plain water systems and until
carbonated and plain water are dispensed. Check for carbonated and plain water leaks and repair if
evident.
8. If your Unit is equipped with dispensing valve(s) with adjustable water flow regulator(s), adjust regulator(s)
for water flow rate as instructed in Service and Maintenance Section.
IMPORTANT: All syrup systems must be sanitized before Unit is put into operation.
9. Sanitize all syrup systems as instructed.
10. Install syrup tanks in syrup systems.
11. Dispense from all dispensing valves until all air is purged from syrup systems and syrup is dispensed.
12. Adjust dispensing valves adjustable syrup flow regulators for Water-to-Syrup ‘‘Ratio’’ of dispensed product
as instructed.
INSTALLING DECALS
Install DECALS (item 4) on dispensing valve covers.
