1. SETTING UP YOUR SANKEY TAPS.
In your parts box you will nd 2/3 Sankey taps with attached hoses. The vertical stem/
beer line will attach to the T or Cross on the top tubing manifold under the deck.
The horizontal/gas line will attach to the lower manifold drain piping.
2. SETTING UP UTILITY INPUTS.
• Your keg washer will have a short power cord wired into the box with a plug attached.
You may use this cord along with an extension cord our you can wire in your own
longer power cord. The unit may be used either hard wired or plugged in to a wall
outlet.
• Set CO2 to 20 PSI input pressure or to your desired pressure to meet your Keg lling
needs.
• Cold Water In (Domestic Water) @ 20 PSI input pressure (Pressure Reducing Valve may
be required from your water supply)
• Air @ 80 PSI minimum from compressor to supply the Pneumatic system. Regulate to
15-20 psi at the keg washer for system operation.
• The gauges located on the control panel must all read the indicated PSI above. Adjust
the pressure of the AIR and CO2 to the keg washer with the regulators located just
behind and below the control panel.
• Read Pressure on Control Panel. Input pressure to keg washer
is 80-85 PSI reduced to 15-20 PSI for Air and 10-20 PSI for CO2
(brewer’s choice on this setting).
• How to Adjust: Lift up on blue dial. Twist to desired pressure.
Push down to lock in place.

3. CHEMICAL SET UP.
• Mix your preferred cleaning chemicals
into the 15gal caustic reservoir. Pour
and mix into the 4” port on the top
of the reservoir. Attach the overow
vent cap when done.
• Turn the heater switch on and set your
desired temp set point.
• Touch the red to adjust temperature.
Adjust TemperatureChemcial Mixing
• Insert the peristaltic pump supply
line into the un-diluted sanitizer (See
sanitizer pump calibration at the end
of the document). Hold down manual
push button underneath pump to prime
the pump. If pump is not pulling up
sanitizer, detach the outlet hose TC and
prime until the outlet hose is full. Re-
attach the hose to the manifold piping.
Make sure both inlet and outlet hoses
are full of sanitizer before running your
rst cycle.
Prime the Pump
4. KEG SETUP
• Place 2/3 kegs on the ground in front of the unit.
• Shut both valves on each tap.
• Attach taps to kegs
• Open valves on taps
• Place kegs upside down onto the deck
5. RUNNING A CYCLE
• Ensure your caustic is set to your desired temperature. Once your kegs are
empty and ready to wash, touch the green start.
• If your kegs are half full or more, you will need to fully empty them prior to
running your rst cycle. To do this, you will need to force open the air and
drain valves. This will push air through the kegs and clear them to the drain.
You will nd these buttons in the settings page from the home screen. Once
empty, close the valves and return to the home screen.
How to Empty Kegs
Run Cycle
• If you would like to change the timing of each step you may do so in the settings.
Once on the settings page, you will tap the time of the step you want to change
and key in the time you would like it to be set for your customized process.
• When the kegs are pressurized to your set pressure the Keg PSI gauge should
read the same as the CO2 gauge. Before taking the kegs o the deck, reach
under and turn o both valves on the taps. Remove the kegs from the deck and
set them down in front. Remove the taps from the kegs and put them on 2/3
new dirty kegs. Repeat till kegs are washed.
• Make sure to check levels and pH of caustic to ensure you are getting a proper
wash.
How to Adjust Settings
• The peristaltic pump works by pulling up 100% sanitizer and mixing it with fresh water
from your direct supply. By following these steps, you will be able to set the pump up
to mix the same amount of sanitizer for each batch to ensure you get proper and fresh
sanitation of each keg.
• Measure the volume of city water used for washing kegs at a 20sec run time. Make sure
you have your pressure reducing valve set to 20-25psi. To do this hold your water in line
into a bucket and run for 20sec. Check the volume of the bucket.
• Your sanitizer should have a dilution ratio printed on the label or it can be found in its data
sheet.
• In this example we will say that you have 2 liters of water after 20sec and your sanitizer
requires a 5% mix. 5% of 2 liters is 100mL so this is the amount of sanitizer you will need
per cycle.
• Open up the peristaltic pump and you will see a small blue dial with an arrow on it. This
dial controls the speed at which it pumps.
5. CALIBRATING YOUR
PERISTALTIC PUMP
• Use water to calibrate so you don’t waste sanitizer. Place your pump in hose into a bucket
of water and disconnect the supply hose from the keg washer.
• Depress the push button under the pump to prime the pump. Once you have water
coming out of the pump out hose let go and place the pump out hose into a graduated
cylinder or another measuring device.
• Hold down the button for 20sec and measure how much water was pumped through.
Based on our example we are looking for 100mL to be in the cylinder after 20sec.
• If you need more or less volume, then use the blue dial inside the pump to speed up or
slow down the pump until you get your mix right. This will ensure you get the correct mix
of sanitizer each cycle.
• Once you have your required volume for the sanitizing mix close up your pump and
reattach the pump out hose to the unit.
• Change pump seal every year. See QC100 pump install guide for instructions.
• Service air compressor per unit instructions. Keep air dryer or air/oil separator working
properly.
• Change hoses on sankey taps and sanitizing pump every year.
