Warnings and General Safety
Your Apollo is made of bottle-grade PET plastic that is highly crystalline and pressurisable.
The following warnings must be followed to ensure your own safety when handling the tank
under pressure.
IMPORTANT IN FORMATION ON
PROPER USAGE
Use of this product in a manner other than its intended use as a pressure
fermenter or using this product beyond indicated safe working pressures or
safe working volumes can result in damage to the product, property, and
serious injury. Never attach to an unregulated pressure source or fill the unit
sealed from a mains or other water source. Rapid shifts in pressure, even
while venting pressure through the Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) in the lid, may
occur faster than can be relieved through the PRV and may result in
catastrophic damage to the unit, property, and users. Always ensure
adequate pressure relief is attached to the unit and gradual pressure
increases are monitored and regulated.
WARNING
DO NOT expose the tank to temperatures above 50°C (122°F) or below -
2°C (28.5°F)
DO NOT apply more than 2.4 bar (35 psi) to the Apollo
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE
DO NOT use caustic soda or strong acids, as they will deteriorate the
plastic material of the tank
DO NOT use steel-wool or abrasive scrubbers.
For scrubbing protein residues, use of soft sponges is recommended
NEVER connect to an unregulated pressure source
If you connect to an external pressure source; ensure it has an
independent pressure release valve (PRV).
ONLY use the WHITE, Purple or Blue PRV supplied by Keg King on the
pressure lid
DO NOT use the tank under pressure if it has been physically damaged
e.g. dropped on the ground
The tank is pressure tested at production and is marked with a date for
retesting. If past the marked date, ensure that the tank undergoes a
hydrostatic pressure test before further usage under pressure.
Please read the entire manual before operating.
