SAFETY INFORMATION
Recognize Safety Information
This is the safety-alert symbol. When you see this
symbol on our machine or in this manual, be alert to
the potentially of personal injury.
Follow recommended precautions and safe operating
practices.
DANGER
Understand Signal Words
A signal word - DANGER, WARNING, OR CAUTION
is used with the safety-alert symbol. DANGER identi-
fies the most serious hazards.
Safety signs with signal word DANGER or WARNING
are typically near specific hazards. WARNING
General precautions are listed on CAUTION safety
signs. CAUTION also calls attention to safety mes-
sages in this manual. CAUTION
Follow Safety Instructions
Carefully read all safety messages in this manual and on your machine safety signs. Keep safety signs in
good condition. Replace missing or damaged safety signs. Learn how to operate the machine and how to
use the controls properly. Do not let anyone operate the machine without instructions. Keep your machine in
proper working condition. Unauthorized modifications to the machine may impair function and/or safety and
affect the machine life.
CO2(Carbon Dioxide) Warning
CO2Displaces Oxygen. Strict Attention must be observed in the prevention of CO2(carbon dioxide)
gas leaks in the entire CO2system. If a CO2gas leak is suspected, particularly in a small area, im-
mediately 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 con-
sciousness and suffocation.
CAUTION: Before shipping, storing, or relocating this Unit, the beer systems must be sanitized and
all sanitizing solution must be purged from the beer systems. A freezing ambient temperature will
cause residual water remaining inside the Unit to freeze resulting in damage to internal components
of the Unit.
