GENERAL INFORMATION IMPORTANT: To the user of this manual – This manual is a guide for installing, operating, and maintaining this equipment. Refer to the Table of Contents for page location for detailed information pertaining to questions that arise during installation, operation, service, or maintenance of this equipment. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The 1550 Universal Beer Dispenser (see Figure 1) is equipped with manually operated self-closing beer faucets.
Table 1. Design Data (cont’d) Electrical Requirements: Operating Voltage Current Draw See Unit Nameplate See Unit Nameplate THEORY OF OPERATION (see Figure 2) A CO2 cylinder delivers carbon dioxide (CO2) gas through adjustable CO2 regulators to the beer kegs. When dispensing valves are opened, CO2 gas pressure exerted upon the beer kegs pushes beer from the kegs, through the Unit cooling coils, and on to the beer faucets resulting in cold beer being dispensed.

INSTALLATION This section covers unpacking and inspection, selecting location, installing Unit, preparing for operation, and operation. UNPACKING AND INSPECTION NOTE: The Unit was thoroughly inspected before leaving the factory and the carrier has accepted and signed for it. Any damage or irregularities should be noted at the time of delivery (or not later than 15 days from date of delivery) and immediately reported to the delivering carrier.
2. The Unit must be installed near a properly grounded electrical outlet with proper electrical requirements.The electrical circuit must be properly fused (slow-blow type fuse) or the circuit must be connected through an equivalent HACR circuit breaker.The electrical outlet must be accessible for ease of connecting and disconnecting the Unit power cord. No other electrical equipment should be connected to this circuit.
6. Make sure the main power switch (115 VAC, 60 Hz Unit), located on back side of the Unit, is in the “OFF” (down) position. 7. Plug Unit power cord into electrical outlet. If Unit is 115 VAC, 60 Hz, place main power switch on back side of the Unit in “ON” position. 8. The compressor, condenser fan motor, and the agitator motor will start and begin forming an ice bank.
3. Open the CO2 cylinder shutoff valve slightly to allow the primary CO2 regulator to fill with gas, then open the valve fully to back-seat the valve. Back-seating the valve prevents leakage around the valve shaft. 4. Adjust the primary CO2 regulator by loosening the regulator adjusting screw lock nut, then turn the adjusting screw to the right (clockwise) until the gage reads 50-PSI. Tighten the adjustment screw lock nut after adjustment has been completed. 5.
OPERATOR’S INSTRUCTIONS This section covers operating controls, pre-operation check, Unit operation, and maintenance procedures that may be performed by the Operator. IMPORTANT: Only qualified Personnel should service internal components of the Unit. PROPER BEER STORAGE Beer is a perishable product that can be materially changed by improper handling. Undesirable dispensed beer can be created by improper cooling of the beer or lack of cleaning/sanitizing the beer systems.
BEER FAUCET (2) UNIT POWER SWITCH (115 VAC, 60 HZ UNIT ONLY) DRIP TRAY/CUP REST FIGURE 3. 1550 UNIVERSAL BEER DISPENSER OPERATING CLEARANCES Check area in front, back, sides, and above the Unit for obstructions. These areas must be kept clear at all times. Listed below are the minimum clearances that must be maintained. A. Clearance above the Unit ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 12 inches to nearest obstruction. B. Clearance back of Unit ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 12 inches to nearest obstruction.
An excessive accumulation of dust, lint, and grease on the condenser coil will restrict air flow through the coil which will decrease cooling efficiency of the Unit. The Unit condenser coil should be periodically cleaned to maintain cooling efficiency of the Unit. Contact a qualified Service Person to clean the Unit condenser coil. CHECKING ICE WATER BATH A gurgle heard from the Unit while it is operating, indicates the water level in the water tank is low and more water should be added to the tank.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE This section describes the service and maintenance procedures to be performed on the Unit. IMPORTANT: Only qualified Personnel should service the Unit internal components or electrical wiring. WARNING: Disconnect electrical power from the Unit to prevent personnel injury before attempting any internal maintenance. Only qualified personnel should service the internal components or electrical wiring.

Adjusting Beer Kegs Secondary CO2 Regulators. Beer kegs secondary CO2 regulators pressures adjustments require calculations of each beer system total beer system pressure. Total beer system pressure, required to push beer from keg to faucet, is the result of computing length of beer line of a certain size, vertical line lift, and internal keg pressure. Internal keg pressure differs from one beer brand to another Contact your local Beer Distributor for proper secondary CO2 regulators pressure settings.
2. Remove four screws securing air intake grille on the Unit front panel, then remove the grille. 3. Vacuum or use a soft brush to clean the condenser coil. If available, use low-pressure compressed air. 4. Install air intake grille on the Unit and secure with four screws. 5. Plug Unit power cord into electrical outlet. CHECKING ICE WATER BATH A “gurgle’ heard from the Unit, indicates water level in the water tank is low and more water should be added for maximum product cooling.
8. Using a fiber brush, carefully clean mineral deposit build-up from the agitator motor shaft and the ice bank sensing bulb. 9. Rinse all parts and flush water tank with clean water. 10. Install plug in end of the water tank drain hose, then place drain hose back inside the Unit. 11. Place end of the Unit water tank overflow tube in a waste container. 12. Fill water tank with clean water until water starts flowing from the overflow tube into the waste container.
5. Connect tank containing detergent solution into the beer system. 6. Place waste container under applicable beer faucet. 7. Activate the beer faucet to permit detergent solution to purge beer out of the line, coil, and the beer faucet. Continue to dispense until all beer has been purged from the beer system and only detergent solution is dispensed from the beer faucet. 8. Disconnect tank containing detergent solution from the beer system. 9.
WARNING: CO2 displaces oxygen. Strict attention must be observed in the prevention of CO2 (carbon dioxide) gas leaks in the entire CO2 and soft drink system. If a CO2 gas leak is suspected, particularly in a small area, immediately ventilate the contaminated area before attempting to repair the leak. Personnel exposed to high concentration of CO2 gas will experience tremors which are followed rapidly by loss of consciousness and suffocation. 1. Fully close (clockwise) CO2 cylinder valve. 2.
CLEANING CO2 GAS CHECK VALVE (see Figures 2 and 7) CO2 gas check valves must be inspected and serviced at least once a year under normal conditions and after any servicing or disruption of the CO2 system. ALWAYS REPLACE QUAD RING SEALS EACH TIME CHECK VALVES ARE SERVICED.
FIGURE 8.
TROUBLESHOOTING IMPORTANT: Only qualified Personnel should service internal components or electrical wiring. WARNING: If repairs are to be made to the beer system, close shutoff valve in applicable beer inlet line, then relieve system pressure before proceeding. If repairs are to be made to the CO2 system, shut off CO2 supply, shut off beer keg tappers CO2 lines shutoff valves, then relieve system pressure before proceeding.
