Setup Instructions

1. Inspect Components: Unpack all items and ensure they match the package contents list. Check for any visible damage.
2. Assemble Filler Unit: Attach the threaded pipe to the main machine. Secure it firmly using the provided nuts and washers from the screw accessories pack. Ensure all gaskets are properly seated to prevent leaks.
3. Mount the Filler: Securely clamp the filler unit to a stable surface, such as a workbench or kegerator, using the integrated clamp. Ensure it is stable and will not tip during operation.
4. Connect Beer Line: Attach your beer line from the keg or fermenter to the appropriate inlet on the filler. Use a hose clamp to ensure a tight seal.
5. Connect CO2 Line: Connect your CO2 gas line to the CO2 inlet on the filler. This line provides the counter-pressure.
6. Sanitize: Before first use and after each cleaning, sanitize all parts of the filler that will come into contact with beer.

Operating Instructions

1. Chill Beer and Bottles: For best results and minimal foaming, ensure your beer and bottles are thoroughly chilled before bottling.
2. Set Pressure: Adjust your CO2 regulator to the desired counter-pressure, typically slightly above the carbonation pressure of your beer.
3. Insert Bottle: Place a bottle onto the filler nozzle, ensuring a tight seal. Engage the clip lock if your bottle type requires it.
4. Purge Bottle: Open the CO2 valve on the filler briefly to purge the bottle of oxygen. Close the valve.
5. Fill Bottle: Slowly open the beer valve to begin filling. The counter-pressure will prevent excessive foaming. Adjust the beer flow rate as needed.
6. Release Pressure: Once the bottle is filled to the desired level (just below the neck), close the beer valve. Slowly open the pressure relief valve to release the CO2 pressure from the bottle.
7. Remove and Cap: Carefully remove the filled bottle from the filler. Immediately cap the bottle to seal in the carbonation and prevent oxygen ingress.
8. Repeat: Continue the process for subsequent bottles.

Maintenance

• Rinse After Use: Immediately after each bottling session, rinse the filler thoroughly with warm water to remove any beer residue.
• Disassemble for Cleaning: Periodically disassemble the threaded pipe and other removable parts for a more thorough cleaning. Use a soft brush to clean internal components.
• Sanitize: Always sanitize all parts that come into contact with beer before each use to prevent contamination.
• Inspect Gaskets and O-rings: Regularly check all gaskets and O-rings for wear, cracks, or damage. Replace them if necessary to maintain a proper seal.
• Storage: Store the clean and dry filler in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
