Filling the Bottle with CO2
until it stops, this will supply CO2into the
bottle (throttle valve remains closed). The
average time for lling a two-liter bottle is
3-5 seconds. Feel the bottle to make sure
it’s hard.
When switching the channels do not lift
the handle!
Filling the Bottle with Beverage
Pull the switch handle to start beverage
dispensing. Set the throttle valve to a half-
open position. Control the process of lling
the bottle by adjusting the throttle valve. If
the beverage becomes too foamy – slightly
close the throttle valve, if the ow is too
slow – open the throttle valve.

8. Device Maintenance
Only the personnel who have studied the operations manual and have been trained to safely
operate the device should be allowed to maintain the device.
A heavy daily beer ow through the PEGAS Evolution may eventually clog the beer supply ele-
ments, as well as the drain and throttle parts, and hoses.
In order to avoid the clogging and fouling of device elements, the dispenser should be washed
and disinfected regularly.
Washing
To clean the device a sanitary liquid should be supplied from a hose-adapted container placed
at the beer keg position. The beer supply hose and the PEGAS Evolution device itself are the
rst ones to be washed. In order to wash the drain hose, a plastic bottle should be placed into
the down-hold mechanism. When the plastic bottle overows, the drain and throttle elements
are clean.
