and may result in injury or death.
DANGER
Any tubing installed to a hose barb
must be properly and rmly
axed 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 Teon 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 axed 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 specied 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.

SYSTEM CLEANING OVERVIEW
Regardless of what type of cleaning chemical you are
using, you should follow three simple steps when cleaning
your nitro beverage dispensing system.
1. You need to start by ushing any remaining coee
within your beverage lines. Do this by pushing clean
water through your lines and opening the faucet
on the service side. At rst, you will see a mixture
of coee and water owing through the faucet.
Continue to run the faucet until the water runs clear.
Removing coee from the lines will ensure the
chemicals will be able to contact the surface of your
lines and clean the residue that remains.
2. Next, you want to introduce the chemicals to the line.
Using pressurized cleaning, you need to keep the
faucets closed and allow the chemicals to remain in
the lines while pressurized for 15 minutes.
CAUTION
Before using any cleaning
chemicals, food products and
packaging materials must be removed from the
room or carefully protected.
CAUTION
Always use proper protective
wear including gloves and eye
protection.
CAUTION
Use only cleaning chemicals
that are designed for cold
beverage equipment and dispensing systems that
rinse clean and do not leave behind any residue or
odor.
NOTICE
When adding the chemicals,
you need to strictly adhere to
the concentration recommendations as stated by
the chemicals’ manufacturer. Failure to do so could
either make the concentration dangerously high
—risking damage to both you and your system —
or it could make the solution too diluted, thus
making it ineective.
Further, most manufacturers have a recommended
solution temperature. Follow these instructions as
well, as certain chemical solutions may be less
eective at certain temperatures.
3. Finally, you want to ush the lines with water again,
this time to remove the chemical solution. Because
cleaning chemicals may not look much dierent than
water, we recommend using a pH tester to ensure no
chemicals remain. Regardless of what chemical you
are using, the water owing out of the faucet should
return to a neutral pH before reusing the system.
4. Once you have cleared out the cleaning solution,
reattach your keg lines and run beverage through
the faucets until any remaining water has been
eliminated.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
ISSUE PROBABLE CAUSE REMEDY
Why is my cold brew
running slower than
usual?
Clogged Stout Faucet
If your cold brew is running slowly, unscrew the spout and soak it in warm
water with your cleaner of choice. Another tip is to soak the stout nozzle
in carbonated water. The rising bubbles should help loosen anything that
may be clogging it. To ensure the stout nozzle is clean, shine a ashlight
(your phone is great for this) through the bottom of the nozzle and monitor
if any openings are clogged.
Nitrogen Gas System
Double check your gas tank is full and wide open. Assure there are no leaks
in the gas line by spraying connections with soapy water and looking for
bubbles. Double check lines for kinks. If you are using a Corny Keg, check
the lid seal and bar lock connectors for leaks as well.
Beverage Line is Frozen
You can thaw these lines by leaving your refrigerator door open for a
few minutes, or by grabbing the frozen line with your bare hands until
the liquid starts owing at a normal rate again. Use a commercial grade
thermometer to double check your system is running to expectations.
Why is my beverage
sputtering?
Infusion Level Too High
Adjust infusion level by turning your Nitrogen Control System (NCS) valve
to a closed position. Open NCS valve to add nitrogen as desired. You can
lock your infusion level by tightening the hex nut against the NCS. If the
NCS valve will not turn, ensure the hex nut is loose and not already locked
against the body. Refer to the Nitrogen Adjustment Video on the rst page
of the installation instructions.
Nitrogen Gas Pressure is
Too High
We recommend setting your nitrogen regulator between 28-32 PSI as a
starting point. If you nd the beverage is not owing as expected, adjust as
necessary.
