UNCRATING AND INSPECTION
Remove all crating material before operating. Carefully
inspect product for hidden damage. If damage is
discovered, file your claim immediately with the transport
company. Perlick is not responsible for damage in transit.
DANGER
Deviations from the intended
components listed in the Nitro Kits
1030849, 1030850, and RS-NDK are not authorized
and may result in injury or death.
DANGER
Any tubing installed to a hose barb
must be properly and rmly
axed by a worm-drive clamp from the Nitro Kit. A
proper installation must compress a worm-drive
clamp to the tubing and hose barb. All three
components must be overlapping, otherwise there
will be a reduced oxygen supply which can lead to
injury or death.
DANGER
Ensure unused gas valves and lines
on the air distributor are set to
their o position (lever arm perpendicular to the gas
line), otherwise there will be a reduced oxygen supply
which can result in injury or death.
DANGER
Any gas tank that provides an inlet
pressure more than 4,000 PSI is
not recommended, otherwise there will be a reduced
oxygen supply which can result in injury, death, and
property damage to the regulator.
DANGER
Any threaded connection has a
risk of leakage if Teon tape is not
applied resulting in a reduced oxygen supply which
can lead to injury or death.
DANGER
Any threaded connection needs to
be properly axed by a wrench
according to the installation instructions, otherwise
there will be a reduced oxygen supply which can lead
to injury or death.
DANGER
When removing and replacing
kegs, ensure the gas is properly
shut o by setting the regulator or gas tank to a
closed position, otherwise there will be a reduced
oxygen supply which can lead to injury or death.
DANGER
Ensure safety chain is properly
mounted to the refrigeration unit
per the installation instructions, otherwise property
damage may occur to the nitrogen tank if toppled.
Personal damage may ensue if the nitrogen tank leaks
from being damaged resulting in injury or death.
WARNING
When removing and replacing
kegs, ensure they are properly
vented by pulling upwards on the ring for safety
release valve for ten seconds, otherwise personal
injury may occur when removing the its lid.
CAUTION
A refrigeration unit must not be
drilled into unless the specied area
is safe to drill by a mounting template or no-drill-zone
drawing, otherwise there may be electrical or refrigerant
damage.
CAUTION
Ensure the keg lid rests ush and an
even seal is produced, otherwise the
keg will not hold its pressure and the beverage will not
dispense properly.
CAUTION
When removing or replacing kegs,
avoid any unnecessary contact to
the air distributor and nitrogen infuser to avoid property
damage.
