3. CHECKS BEFORE OPERATION (DAILY)
[a] CHECKING CO2 GAS CYLINDER
Open the main valve of the CO2 gas cylinder, and check the gas
pressure by the level gauge of the regulator:
* If the level gauge reading is not more than 3 MPa or falls into the
yellow zone, the cylinder contains little CO2 gas.
* If the level gauge reading is not more than 1 MPa or falls into the
red zone, replace with a new cylinder.
[b] REPLACING CO2 GAS CYLINDER
1) Close the main valve of the CO2 gas cylinder by turning it clockwise.
2) Turn the regulator adjust dial to set the pressure to “0” (MPa).
3) Use the spanner (accessory) to loosen the nut and remove the regulator from the CO2 gas
cylinder.
Note: Be sure to cap the CO2 gas cylinder.

7) Open the main valve by turning it counterclockwise, and check the regulator nut for gas leak (sound). If gas is leaking, the nut
must be loose or the gasket must be damaged or not provided.
Note: To check for gas leaks, apply a sponge with soap to the joint. Bubbles form if gas is leaking.
8) Turn the regulator adjust dial to set to an appropriate pressure as shown below.
WARNING
The CO2 gas pressure on the beer keg must not exceed 0.37 MPa. Otherwise, the beer keg or hose can explode resulting in
injury.
The CO2 gas pressure on the beer keg prevents separation of CO2 gas from beer. The higher the beer keg temperature is, the
easier the CO2 gas separates and a higher gas pressure is required.

5. SETTING LIQUID AND FOAM AMOUNTS
CAUTION
Toreducetheriskofinjury,donotputyourngersbehindtheplatformwhileitismoving.
IMPORTANT
The liquid and foam amounts are adjusted by visual check of dispensed beer and button operation. The set amounts vary with
the CO2 gas pressure. Readjustment is necessary every time the CO2 gas pressure is changed.
The setting is available for any two mug sizes. Place the larger mug on the lower platform and the smaller mug on the upper
platform. The larger mug must be at least 2 cm higher than the smaller mug.
The automatic dispensing is intended for a standard glass mug. To avoid excessive foaming, do not use a paper cup or
ceramic mug.
The set amounts may vary depending on the ambient temperature, beer keg temperature, use condition and remaining beer
level.
The tolerance of set amounts is about 30 mL per 400 mL mug. The CO2 gas pressure must be adjusted according to the beer
keg temperature. The set amounts may vary depending on the performance of the regulator controlling the CO2 gas pressure.
If the set amounts vary too much, the regulator must be replaced.
