How to Operate – Beer Pump Panels
■ Adjust primary CO2 regulator by turning
adjusting screw counterclockwise until it turns
freely, then turn hand valve counterclockwise
on CO2 cylinder to the fully open position. Next,
turn regulator adjusting screw clockwise until
required system pressure plus an additional 15
psig is reached.
■ Connect the coupler to a regulated water supply
with pressure less than 30 psig. Note: Pump
damage may occur with pressure higher
than 30 psig.
■ Open the water supply. Then open probe valve
on Perlick Smart coupler to the 45° position.
See figure 2. The beer pump will slowly pump
up the beer line in the trunk housing to set psig.
Note: If pump continues to run for longer than
expected, check lines for possible leaks at one
or more of the connections.
Note: If CO2 is only being used for keg-
applied pressure, adjust to approximately
40 psig.
Note: If using air to drive beer pumps,
adjust the air compressor output regulator
pressure to a minimum of 15 psig. greater
than the maximum required system
pressure required to operate the beer
pumps. maximum setting 100 psig.
■ Gradually increase secondary regulator
pressure to the designed system pressure to
achieve a flow rate of one gallon per minute
from the dispensing head. Note: maximum
beer pump operating pressure is 90 psig.
■ Open dispensing head faucet to purge air
trapped within the tubing.
■ Adjust secondary CO2 regulator which
supplies the keg pressure located on the
beer pump panel to the proper pressure
setting. Setting depends on beer brand and
temperature. Desired goal is to maintain the
natural carbonation in the beer. Open the shut-
off valves.
■ Ensure the Probe Valve on the Perlick Smart
Coupler is in closed position. See figure 1.
Ensure the Beer Pump Flow Reversal/Dispense
handle is in the dispense position. Adjust the
Secondary Air/ CO2 regulator located on the
beer pump panel to a minimum operating
pressure of 10 psig.
■ Check all gas and liquid line fittings and
connections for leaks.
■ Close probe valve on Perlick Smart Coupler.
(See figure 1) and disconnect coupler from
regulated water source.
■ Clean beer system. After cleaning and rinsing
the system, make sure the beer line is full of
cold water (beer dispensing from warm beer
lines will be poor quality).
■ Tap fresh keg with Perlick Smart Coupler. Open
dispensing head faucet until clear beer flows.

Cleaning Instructions
General Information
■ When a beer system with beer pumps will be
shut down for an extended period, clean the
system thoroughly. After completing the rins-
ing step, prepare a mixture of 50% food grade
Glycerine and 50% water. Load the lines with
this mixture and make sure both ends of the
system are closed. Glycerine/water mixture
should remain in the lines for the duration of
the shutdown period.
■ The cleaning of beer lines with the new inte-
gral flow reversal feature incorporated into the
Perlick Beer Pump gives the line cleaner
numerous configurations for line cleaning.
Although the Perlick Beer Pump can be used
as an in-line pump for moving the solution from
the coupler to the faucet due to its capability of
working with negative lift, the following is the
recommended method for cleaning beer lines
with the Perlick Beer Pump with integral flow
reversal installed.

■ Disconnect Smart Coupler from beer connector
lines and soak Smart Couplers in cleaning
solution.
■ Couple the two beer connectors together using
Perlick’s double male adapter part # 186 with
beer washers.
■ Determine which sets of lines will be cleaned
together and rotate the Dispense/Reverse Flow
handle to the Reverse Flow position on the line
which fluid will be circulated from the faucet, to
the tap.

■ Remove the faucet from the line to which the
Beer Line Cleaner pump will be connected. Soak
faucets and brush clean before reinstalling.
■ Connect Beer Line Cleaner pump to the shank.
■ Follow standard beer line cleaning procedures.
Perlick recommends that the lines first be flushed
with clean warm water (Water temperature not
to exceed 100 degrees). Mix line-cleaning
solution per manufacturerís directions.
Circulate the solution thoroughly (Time for
circulation dependent on length of the system
and pump capabilities). Rinse the lines using
clean cold water (Ensure all line cleaning solution
has been removed from the lines to prevent
hazardous results).
■ Disconnect line-cleaning pump and reinstall beer
faucets.
■ Reconnect couplers to beer connector lines and
return Beer Pump Dispense/ Reverse Flow valve
to the dispense position.
■ Reconnect couplers to keg and open dispensing
head faucets until clear beer flows.
