Sanitize syrup lines, BIB System
1. Remove all the quick disconnects from all the BIB containers.
2. Fill a suitable pail or bucket with soap solution.
3. Submerge all disconnects (gas and liquid) in the soap solution and then clean them using a nylon bristle
brush. (Do not use a wire brush). Rinse with clean water.
4. Using a plastic pail, prepare approximately five gallons of sanitizing solution.
5. Rinse the BIB disconnects in the sanitizing solution.
6. Sanitizing fittings must be attached to each BIB disconnect. If these fittings are not available, the fittings
from empty BIB bags can be cut from the bags and used. These fittings open the disconnect so the
sanitizing solution can be drawn through the disconnect.
7. Place all the BIB disconnects into the pail of sanitizing solution. Operate the valve until the sanitizing
solution is flowing from the valve. Allow sanitizer to remain in lines for 15 minutes.
8. Remove the nozzle and syrup diffuser from the valve and clean them in a soap solution. Rinse with clean
water and reassemble the nozzle and syrup diffuser to the valve.
9. Remove the sanitizing fittings from the BIB disconnects and connect the disconnects to the appropriate
BIB container. Operate the valve until all sanitizer has been flushed from the system and syrup is flowing
freely.
REPLENISHING CO2
SUPPLY (AS REQUIRED)
NOTE: When indicator on the 1800-psi gage is in the shaded (“change CO2 cylinder”) portion of the dial,
CO
2 cylinder is almost empty and should be changed.
!
DANGER:
CO2 displaces oxygen. Strict attention MUST be observed in the prevention of CO2 gas leaks in the entire CO2 and
soft drink system. If a CO
2 gas leak is suspected, particularly in a small area, IMMEDIATELY ventilate the
contaminated area before attempting to repair the leak. Personnel exposed to high concentrations of CO
2 gas
experience tremors which are followed rapidly by loss of consciousness and DEATH.
1. Fully close (clockwise) the CO
2 cylinder valve.
2. Slowly loosen the CO
2 regulator assembly coupling nut allowing CO2 pressure to escape, then remove the
regulator assembly from the empty CO
2 cylinder.
3. Unfasten safety chain and remove the empty CO
2 cylinder.
!
WARNING:
To avoid personnel injury and/or property damage, always secure the CO2 cylinder with a safety chain to prevent it
from falling over. Should the valve become accidently damaged or broken off, a CO
2 regulator can cause serious
personnel injury or death.
4. Position the full CO
2 cylinder and secure with a safety chain.
5. Make sure gasket is in place inside the CO
2 regulator assembly coupling nut, then install the regulator
assembly on the CO
2 cylinder.
6. Open (counterclockwise) the CO
2 cylinder valve slightly to allow the lines to slowly fill with gas, then open
the valve fully to back-seat the valve (back-seating the valve prevents gas leakage around the valve shaft).
7. Check CO
2 connections for leaks. Tighten any loose connections.
