1. INSTILLATION
IMPORTANT
THIS EQUIPMENT TO BE INSTALLED WITH ADEQUATE BACKFLOW PROTECTION.
A. Attach the base plate, smooth side out, in the desired location with #8 screws (supplied). The
screws are slightly larger than the holes. This helps hold screws in position for mounting.
1. To ensure base plate stability, please see Page 26 for best screw placement.
B. Install inlet ttings, (supplied), and the “H” tting to the exible incoming beverage, soda, and
water lines. (Be sure to use proper size hose clamps to secure tubing to inlet ttings).
NOTE:
If different screws are used for attaching the base plate, the head of the screw must fully seat inside
countersink area. A screw head above the countersink surface will interfere with sliding
the ow control modular (FCM) or mechanical modular (MM) assembly into the locking position.
C. Follow the labeling on the assembly to ensure proper product connection.
D. Lock inlet line ttings into FCM module assembly using the red retainers before introducing
product and water.
E. Rotate yellow Shut-off stem 90 degrees to “Off” position to check for inlet connection leaks (Fig.
1.1).
On Off
Fig. 1.1
F. Slide FCM/MM module on base plate until the red locking pin snaps in place.
1. Adjacent to red locking pin (on the FCM Module) are two knurled slotted plastic screws. They
are used to lock the module to the base plate. To attach the module to the base plate - push
and turn screws clockwise, to release turn screws counterclockwise.
NOTE:
Screws are spring loaded to ensure screws will clear base plate.
NOTE:
The red retainer clips attached to the FCM module must be ush with the bottom of the
manifold. If the red retainer clips are not in place the assembly will not slide into the base plate.
G. Using the screws provided, install the holster and drain assembly in close proximity to the bar
gun location. Holster mounting plate must be placed so that the release tab is accessible.
Plumb the holster using 1/2” standard drain hose and within local plumbing codes. Refer to the
cleaning and maintenance section for proper removal and cleaning of holster (Fig. 1.2).

IMPORTANT
NEVER PLACE THE BAR DISPENSER HOLSTER DIRECTLY OVER THE ICE BIN.
NOTE:
Place your bar dispenser as close as possible to the product cooling source to minimize the
dispensing of warm product and reduce foaming of the nished drinks.
2. RATIO/BRIX
The Schroeder Bar Dispenser has been thoroughly tested and sanitized prior to shipment. The
installer will be required to ratio/brix the bar dispenser. A Schroeder Bar Dispenser syrup separator
or refractometer may be used.
NOTE:
Sugar free products require a syrup separator. Installer must cool or chill the product before
brixing the system. Ratio will be different between cold product and warm product.
IMPORTANT
BEFORE RATIO/BRIXING SYSTEM, PURGE PRODUCT AND WATER THROUGH
BAR DISPENSER TO ENSURE PROPER PRODUCT TEMPERATURE.
A. To adjust water ow rate, depress plain water button or carbonated water button on bar handle
and capture water in a graduated cylinder (ratio cup) while timing the dispense. Divide the
volume of water by the time. This will equal the ow rate.
NOTE:
The Schroeder America Bar Dispenser is designed to ow 1.25 oz/sec. or 6.25 oz/5 sec.
This is the proper setting for 5:1 ratio.
B. To adjust ow control assembly remove the red cap to expose the slotted red adjustment screw
(Fig 2.1). To regulate ow, turn clockwise to increase ow and counterclockwise to decrease
ow. If the ow control assembly contains a slotted green adjustment screw it is mechanical. To
regulate ow, turn counterclockwise to increase ow and clockwise to decrease ow (opposite
ow control). Standard settings can be found on Page 12.
