6. The gasket must be fully un-tightened (collar all
the way up, touching the main body) before you
insert the head. Turn the collar as shown until it
stops.
7. Turn the gasket nut with your fingers as shown
to make sure the gasket is secure.
8. Carefully insert the dispensing head (with the
pick up tube still attached) into the bottle. The
head should go in easily with one arm extended
forward. Do not lean on the head or force it in,
as this may damage the gasket and/or the bot-
tleneck. If the head gasket will not insert, check
to make sure the collar is fully un-tightened and
the correct gasket size is being used.
The head should rest firmly on top. Do not
let the tube push the head out of the bottle.
(instead, the tube should coil slightly inside at
the bottom).
9. Turn the head to align the spout with the bottle
label.
10. While pressing down on the head with one hand,
tighten the collar as shown with your other
hand. Use only two fingers and your thumb to
turn (there is no need to use the entire force of
your hand). As you turn, the gasket will expand
inside the bottleneck, sealing and holding the
bottle from the inside. Do not over-tighten.

Attaching the Clean-Pour
Dispensing Heads
CAUTION
To avoid dropping a wine bottle when carrying it around
with the dispensing head attached, always hold the bottle
itself (not just the head).
1. Open the bottle and place it on a flat, dry sur-
face.
2. Insert the head selection
tool into the bottleneck
to determine the correct
(color coded) gasket size.
NOTE: The red gasket
should work with most
wines bottled in North
America. If you need to
change the gasket, see
page 20 for instructions.
If you do not have a head
selection tool, try insert-
ing different heads into the bottle, from wide to
narrow (green, red, white), until you find the
correct size that fits.
3. Take a clean dispensing head of the size you
have selected. Check that the gasket is in good
condition and the cap is properly installed on
top. (See the
Cleaning and Care
section for
more details).
4. Insert a clean pick up tube into the bottle. (It is
normal for the upper end of the tube to extend
beyond the tip of the bottle at this point).
5. Insert the pick up tube firmly into the opening
on the bottom of the head, as shown. (Keep the
rest of the tube inside the bottle while doing
this). NOTE: If the pick-up tube is not properly
attached, the system will not be able to draw
wine out of the bottle and it will assume the
bottle is empty.
