Viper — Troubleshooting — Mechanical

1. Symptom – Brix Issue Low

   The nominal brix reading is 13.5 to 14.0. If the brix reading for a barrel is low check the following:

   1. Improperly adjusted syrup or water flow control

   2. Compare brix at sample tube to brix in barrel. If different, check flow path to barrel.

   3. Low CO2 pressure causing the syrup sold out to short cycle

   4. High water pressure causing water to leak through flow control banjo

   5. Water solenoid sticking open

   6. Syrup solenoid sticking closed
