Installation and Service Manual SAFETY IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Carefully read all safety messages in this manual. Learn how to operate the FlexTower unit properly. Do not allow anyone to operate the unit without proper training and keep it in proper working condition. Unauthorized modifications to the FlexTower may impair function and/or safety and affect the life of the unit. CARBON DIOXIDE WARNING DANGER: Carbon Dioxide (CO2) displaces oxygen.
Installation and Service Manual SAFETY GROUNDING IN STRUCTIONS WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
Installation and Service Manual INSTALLATION SURVEY Prior to installation, a location survey is highly recommended to assure there is sufficient room for the FlexTower on the counter, for the BIB rack in the back room, and room to route the beverage tubing from the BIB rack. If an ice drink dispenser heat exchanger is used, assure that the ice drink dispenser is in close proximity to the FlexTower area so the heat exchanger can be easily routed to the tower to provide cold water for the finished beverages.
Installation and Service Manual INSTALLATION FOOTPRINT The FlexTower must be secured to the countertop using the four (4) holes provided in the base of the unit and using the hardware provided. Follow customer guidelines for placement of the unit or approximately 10 inches (25.4 cm) from the edge of the counter. A mounting template is provided which is printed on the shipping carton. NOTE: DO NOT DISCARD SHIPPING CARTON UNTIL MOUNTING TEMPLATE IS REMOVED. Also see the Footprint below.
Installation and Service Manual INSTALLATION INSTALLATION PROCEDURE • • • • • Assure that 16 bags of syrup are available at location. Coordinate this with the store manager. Manitowoc Beverage Equipment does not supply syrup. Carefully unpack FlexTower and inspect for damage. If damage is noted, file freight claim with carrier.
