Field Calibration of the Concentrate Pumps / Dispenser Flow Rates
The factory set Default Values for the Pump & Dispenser Flow Rates are very accurate and typically do not
need to be field calibrated. However, if the mix ratio accuracy is ever in question, this procedure can be used to
recalibrate the unit in the field.
Equipment Required:
50 to 100 ml graduated cylinder, with 1 ml graduations.
64 Oz (2000 ml) graduated container.
Remove the lower splash guard assembly to access prior to starting this procedure
NOTE: You can calibrate either the Concentrate Pump or the Dispenser Flow Rate independently. Simply scroll
through the menu screen to the desired section and perform only those steps.

concentrate comes out the tip (approximately 10 seconds).

6 – 8.
10. If the amount collected is still not within range, replace the pump tubing with a new Tube Kit, (refer to
the Tube Replacement Instructions).
