LANCER INSTALLATION GUIDE
Check the dispenser name plate label, located behind the splash plate, for the correct electrical requirements of unit. Do not plug
into a wall electrical outlet unless the current shown on the serial number plate agrees with local current available. Follow all local
electrical codes when making connections. Each dispenser must have a separate electrical circuit. Do not use extension cords with
this unit. Do not ‘gang’ together with other electrical devices on the same outlet. The key-switch does not disable the line voltage to
the transformer primary. Always disconnect electrical power to the unit to prevent personal injury before attempting any internal
maintenance. The resettable breaker switch should not be used as a substitute for unplugging the dispenser from the power source
to service the unit. Only qualied personnel should service internal components of electrical control housing. Make sure that all
water lines are tight and units are dry before making any electrical connections!
F Electrical Warning
• WARNING: Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a colorless, noncombustible gas with a light pungent odor. High percentages of CO2may
displace oxygen in the blood.
• WARNING: Prolonged exposure to CO2can be harmful. Personnel exposed to high concentrations of CO2gas will experience
tremors which are followed by a loss of consciousness and su󰀨ocation.
• WARNING: If a CO2gas leak is suspected, immediately ventilate the contaminated area before attempting to repair the leak.
• WARNING: Strict attention must be observed in the prevention of CO2gas leaks in the entire CO2and soft drink system.

Provide an adequate potable water supply. Water pipe connections and xtures directly connected to a potable water supply must
be sized, installed, and maintained according to federal, state, and local laws. The water supply line must be at least a 3/8 inches
(9.525 mm) pipe with a minimum of 25 psi (0.172 MPa) line pressure, but not exceeding a maximum of 50 psi (0.345 MPa).
Water pressure exceeding 50 psi (0.345 MPa) must be reduced to 50 psi (0.345 MPa) with the provided pressure regulator. Use
a lter in the water line to avoid equipment damage and beverage o󰀨-taste. Check the water lter periodically, as required by local
conditions. The water supply must be protected by means of an air gap, a back-ow prevention device or another approved method
to comply with NSF standards. A leaking inlet water check valve will allow carbonated water to ow back through the pump when it
is shut o󰀨 and contaminate the water supply. Ensure the back-ow prevention device complies with ASSE and local standards. It is
the responsibility of the installer to ensure compliance.
