TROUBLE SHOOTING 
IMPORTANT: Only qualified personnel should service the SCR unit and components.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury and or property damage, always disconnect electrical power, 
shut off plain water and
CO2 supplies before starting any repairs. If repairs are to be made to the 
carbonated water system, bleed carbonated water system pressure before proceeding. If repairs are 
to be made to syrup system, remove quick disconnects from syrup tanks, or remove
QCD from BIB, 
then bleed system pressure before proceeding.
