CO2 (CARBON DIOXIDE) WARNING

DANGER:

CO2 displaces oxygen. Strict attention MUST be observed in the prevention of

2 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 concentrations of CO

2 gas experience tremors which are followed rapidly

by loss of consciousness and DEATH.

MOUNTING IN OR ON A COUNTER

WARNING:

When installing the unit in or on a counter top, the counter must be able to

support a weight in excess of 450 lbs. to insure adequate support for the

unit. FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH

OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.

NOTE: Many units incorporate the use of additional equipment

such as ice makers. When any addition equipment is used you

must check with the equipment manufacturer to determine the

additional weight the counter will need to support to ensure a safe

installation.

DISPENSED PRODUCT CONDITIONS

Overrun, as Applied to Carbonated Beverages

Overrun Definition

Overrun is defined as product expansion that takes place in the frozen

carbonated drink. It is caused primarily by CO

2 gas breakout and secondarily by

freezing.

Overrun is a Variable

The percentage or degree of overrun depends on a number of factors. The

specific syrup, BRIX, low dispensing volume, carbonation level in the liquid

product and freezing of the product. These items all affect overrun. After these

factors have been considered, desired viscosity (product consistency)

adjustment may be made on the unit. The viscosity adjustment adjusts product

texture from very wet to light.
