CO2 Troubleshooting Guide

CO₂Troubleshooting Guide

You'll find help with :

Turn the tank drum valve clockwise to shut off the flow of CO₂.
Loosen the coupling nut using a crescent wrench or CO₂ nut key and remove CO₂ regulator.
Remove the old tank and set it aside. Carefully set the new tank where the old tank was.

CAUTION!

Make sure the outlet 8 of the tank is facing away from you.

Remove the plastic seal or dust cap and turn the tank drum valve slightly counterclockwise until a bit of air starts coming out.

This small blast of air will remove any foreign material on the outlet. Then close the valve.

Insert, or re-insert, the CO₂ washer inside the regulator. Attach and tighten the coupling nut to the CO₂ bottle using a crescent wrench or CO₂ nut key. .
Check the gauge on the regulator to make sure it reads 100psi. Adjust the regulator knob with a screwdriver to adjust PSI accordingly (#3 on diagram).
Now, it’s time to taste test your beverages to ensure your tank and carbonation is functioning properly before serving to your customers.

What to Check When You Suspect a Problem and Maintenance Tips:

Verify Carbonator Motor is running and plugged into electrical outlet. Contact your beverage supplier if Carbonator is not working.
Check gauge at the top of CO₂ Tank. If the outgoing delivery reads over 100 PSI, you are not out of CO₂.
If the gauge is over 100 PSI and outgoing delivery gauge is “0”, check to ensure tank valve is “open”. (Red handle should be parallel to pipe if tank is on)

Ensure CO₂ tank is full. If gauge and outgoing delivery is less than 100 PSI, switch to backup tank (then notify EspriGas for a delivery). If there is no backup tank, contact 1.800.720.1563 for a delivery.
Check if CO₂ tank has ice or frost on top/bottom of tank. If ice appears and service is busy (usage is high), this could be normal. If ice appears and usage is low; a leak may exist. Contact EspriGas 1.800.720.1563 for repair.
Check to verify your beverage syrup boxes are not empty. Empty boxes will drain the CO₂ tank. If empty, either replace the syrup box or remove the CO₂ line to that specific syrup box (only remove the empty line). Then contact your beverage supplier to order more product.
