CHECKING POLARITY
!
1. Turn on your unit.
2. Using the Siemens touch screen to
navigate to the manual page.
3. Locate the Pump icon toward the
top of the list and press the gray
square next to the icon to manually
turn the pump on and o.
4. Turn the pump on for a second and turn o quickly.
5. Check the spin of the blades on the pump and make
sure they correspond with the direction depicted on
the sticker. If the pump is not spinning the correct
direction, you will have to modify the wiring sequence
in the electrical plug.
Due to nature of three phase electronics and
dierences in how outlets are wired, it is
necessary to check the polarity of your keg
washer before using it. Incorrect polarity causes
the motor to spin in the wrong direction.
Operating your keg washer with the incorrect
polarity will cause damage to your washer and
possible risk to ones health and safety.

CHANGING POLARITY
1. You will need a phillips head screwdriver to complete this task.
2. Expose the wires by opening the plug up. Unscrew the two screws on the
face of the plug, as well as the two screws located on the back.
3. Slide down the plug cover and expose the wires. Next, look at the top of
the plug. You will see four prongs. The L shape prong is your ground wire, it
is also indicated by a green lug. Do not change this wire. The other three
prongs are your live wires.
4 Change any two of those three live wires to reverse the polarity. Loosen
the lugs under the two prongs you would like to change. The wires should
now freely pull out. Switch the two wires and re-tighten the lugs.
5. Make sure you did not change your ground wire (L Shape Prong).
6. Slide the plug cover back up. Making sure to line up the tongue and
groove on the plug and cover. Re-tighten all four screws.
7. You are now ready to plug in your Keggernaut and retest the polarity.

CLEANING STAGES
This stage is going to release and drain any remaining fluids in your kegs.
It is recommended that you drain your kegs as much as possible before hooking them to
the washer ensuring this stage can work eciently.
If you are noticing fluid is still evacuating the kegs as this stage completes, then you are
going to want to increase the duration on the parameter select page till nothing is
coming out.
This clean water rinse will help remove and loosen any built up sediment in the keg
before deep cleaning with caustic.
Extend or shorten on the parameter select page to your personal preference.
This stage removes all the water from the previous stage.
You want to make sure the keg is empty of water before moving to the next stage.
Otherwise, it will dilute your chemicals .
Extend this time as needed till you have no more discharge at the end of the stage.

14
CLEANING STAGES
This stage is going to deliver powerful pulses of hot caustic to each keg.
You should be able to feel the pulses through the top of the kegs as it
alternates pulses.
Depending on how soiled your kegs are, you will need to adjust this stage on the param-
eter select page to ensure thorough cleaning.
This stage helps remove any remaining caustic residue in the keg before moving to the
sanitation stages.
Extend or shorten this stage on the parameter select page to your personal preference.
This stage will return the caustic back to the holding reservoir helping minimize waste
and cost by preventing caustic from being lost and allowing the caustic to be reused.
You want to check your recovery in the sight tube. Make a note or mark on the sight
tube of the starting level of the caustic. You are looking for full recovery back to the
staring level.
If the recovery is significantly below the starting level, then increase the duration of this
stage on the parameter select page.
If the recovery is higher than the starting level, then you need to check the clean water
discharge stage before the caustic pulse wash and ensure that all the fluid is being
discharged in that stage.

CLEANING STAGES
This stage discharges the water from the second clean rinse. Make sure the keg is
empty of water before moving to the next stage.
Extend the time on the parameter select page until you have no more discharge at the
end of the stage.
This stage uses CO2 to recover the sanitizer back into the reservoir. This helps reduce
waste and maintains the sterile environment in the kegs by replacing the oxygen for
CO2.
You want to check the recovery level in the sight tube in the same way as the caustic
recovery.
If the recovery is too high, then you need to check the second clean water discharge
stage before the sanitizer pulse wash and ensure that all the water is being discharged
in that stage.
This stage helps get any of the remaining sanitizer out of the kegs before you purge and
fill the kegs with CO2.
Check the sight tube and lengthen the duration if you still have a significant amount of
sanitizer left in the kegs and still below your starting level of sanitizer.
This stage uses strong pulses of sanitizer ensuring complete sanitation within the kegs.
Extend or shorten this stage on the parameter select page to your personal preference.

CLEANING STAGES
Steam Holding is the second stage for those sterilizing with steam.
This stage is also not necessary for normal use. Set this stage to zero seconds to
bypass it.
This step purges the kegs with CO2 and clears the piping of remaining sanitizer.
Adjust time if CO2 purge dose not meet specifications.
In this stage the washer will fill your kegs with CO2 and automatically stops once it
reaches the fill pressure designated on the pressure control
instrument.
Filling your kegs with CO2 insures an oxygen free zone, creating a clean and sanitized
environment until you are ready to fill your kegs.
This stage is used by individuals that need to use steam rather than sanitizer in their
cleaning process.
This stage is not necessary for normal use. Set this stage to zero seconds to bypass it.

3. Once you select your desire temperature. Turn on the heater using the
switch located on the secondary control panel. Allow your caustic to heat
up before washing. The washer will automatically regulate the temperature
while in use. Note that the caustic temperature will fluctuate a few degrees
during use due to heat loss in the cleaning cycle.
The Omron controller has many settings and sub menus. There is no need
to change any other setting but the Set Value. You are responsible for any
other changes made. Please refer to the omron manual. ( PAGE 19 )
PV : The present value or PV is the
number on the top and is the current
temperature being read by the thermo
gauge located in the caustic holding
reservoir.
