I. Unboxing Inspection and Pre‑installation Preparation (Mandatory for Beginners to Avoid Rework)
1.1 Verification of Original Factory Standard Accessories
After unboxing the Jianbo JL1-3F equipment, check each item against the accompanying shipping list. Confirm that all accessories are present, not deformed, and not damaged by transport. Core standard accessories include:
Jianbo JL1-3F Three‑Valve Tabletop Cola Machine main unit
Base stand, 4‑to‑3 adapter, water inlet filter (with cartridge, rubber gasket, dedicated wrench)
Food‑grade air hose, 3 syrup hoses (matching the three valves), water inlet hose
Dedicated cylinder wrench, small screwdriver, sealing gasket, spare screws
Product manual, product certificate of conformity, warranty card
1.2 Pre‑installation Operations
Before installation, pre‑route the 3 syrup hoses through the reserved holes in the base. Straighten the hoses to ensure no kinks or pinching, facilitating subsequent quick connection with the Jianbo JL1-3F main unit and syrup bags, and avoiding hose misalignment during installation.
1.3 Required Tools and Installation Environment Requirements
Required tools: Original cylinder wrench, dedicated filter wrench, 14mm adjustable wrench, Phillips screwdriver
Standard installation environment requirements:
The placement area for the Jianbo JL1-3F equipment shall be a flat, hard operating table. Reserve ≥10 cm of heat dissipation space at the back, matching the main unit dimensions of 400680780 mm.
Install a properly grounded 220V three‑prong socket and a 4‑point water inlet ball valve nearby. The distance between the water source and the equipment shall be ≤2 meters.
Keep away from heat sources, open flames, and direct sunlight. Reserve dedicated space for upright cylinder placement and flat syrup bag placement.
II. Dual‑Mode Water Circuit Installation (Jianbo JL1-3F Factory Standard, Zero Errors for Beginners)
The Jianbo JL1-3F supports both tap water connection and bottled water connection modes. Select the corresponding procedure according to the site conditions. Mixing the two modes is strictly prohibited.
2.1 Tap Water Connection Mode Installation Steps
Adapter and filter pretreatment: For water source connection, use the 4‑to‑3 adapter (with built‑in sealing gasket) and firmly connect it to the water source ball valve. For the filter cartridge, first remove the plastic protective film from its surface, rinse off any cotton lint with clean water, then install it into the filter housing. Pre‑press the rubber gasket into place. Ensure the round hole on the filter cover is perfectly aligned with the cartridge hole. Hand‑tighten the cover, then use the dedicated filter wrench to tighten it in the reverse direction until completely sealed.
Hose connection specifications: The filter housing clearly marks “Water Inlet” and “Water Outlet”. Strictly follow the water flow direction: connect one end of the independent hose to the water inlet ball valve (tighten to prevent loosening), and the other end to the filter inlet. Connect the filter outlet hose to the water inlet on the back of the Jianbo JL1-3F machine. Before turning on the water, reconfirm that all connections are fully inserted and gaskets are in place.
Water flow test: Slowly open the water inlet ball valve to allow water flow. Observe all connections; no seepage or leakage indicates success. If leakage occurs, turn off the water source, reconnect the connection, replace the sealing gasket, and test again until it passes.
2.2 Bottled Water Connection Mode Installation Steps
Use a food‑grade pure water bottle with a capacity of ≥20L. The bottle opening shall be smooth and undamaged.
Cut the end of the Jianbo JL1-3F water inlet hose at an angle. Insert it vertically to the bottom of the bottle to prevent the hose from adhering to the bottle wall, which would cause water pickup failure.
Ensure the hose is not kinked or floating. Protect the bottle opening from dust to avoid water source contamination.
III. Air Circuit Installation and Pressure Adjustment (Safety Core, Get It Right the First Time)
3.1 Cylinder and Pressure Gauge Installation Steps
Before installing the cylinder, confirm that the sealing gasket at the cylinder valve is intact and will not fall off. Align the pressure gauge with the cylinder valve, hand‑tighten first, then use the Jianbo JL1-3F original cylinder wrench to tighten in the reverse direction with additional force.
After installing the air hose, use a 14mm adjustable wrench to clamp and secure it. Adjust the orientation of the gauge body to a direction convenient for observation, avoiding hose kinks.
3.2 Rated Pressure Adjustment Standard
Use the Jianbo JL1-3F original adjustment rod to adjust pressure. Slowly rotate the adjustment rod clockwise to adjust the pressure to the rated normal value of 70–80 psi. The pressure gauge pointer must be in the middle of the green zone. Do not exceed 100 psi.
After pressure adjustment is completed, tighten the lock nut to fix the pressure value, preventing pressure drift during operation.
3.3 Air Tightness Pressure Hold Test Requirements
After pressure adjustment, close the cylinder valve and perform a pressure hold test. The test duration shall be 10–15 minutes. Do not operate the Jianbo JL1-3F equipment during this period.
Observe that the pointers of both pressure gauges do not drop or fall – this indicates acceptable air tightness. If pressure drops, it indicates a seal failure at an air circuit connection (cylinder to gauge, or gauge to machine). Retighten the connection, replace the gasket, and test again until it passes.
IV. Syrup System Connection and Flavor Label Management (Three Valves, Preventing Cross‑Contamination)
The Jianbo JL1-3F is standardly equipped with 3 syrup hoses corresponding to 3 valve spigots. There is no fixed installation order; they can be connected according to the planned store flavor arrangement.
Hose connection operation: Pinch the white connector at the hose end, screw the black quick‑connect thread together with the syrup bag connector. Natural seepage of syrup indicates successful sealing. Ensure no loose connection or leakage.
Each syrup bag has a triangular mouth mark. During installation, the triangular mouth must face downward. The outer carton of the syrup bag can be used as a supporting base for stacking.
After all syrup hoses are connected, label them according to flavor to avoid misconnection that would cause flavor cross‑contamination.
V. Water Tank Filling and Power‑On Start (Warranty Red Line – Do Not Run Without Water)
5.1 Standard Water Tank Filling Operation
Core requirement: The water tank must be filled before plugging in the power and starting the Jianbo JL1-3F equipment. Do not operate the equipment without water, as this will damage the equipment. Non‑compliant operation will directly void the warranty rights.
Tap water mode filling: First turn off the water source. Press the filling port ring to retract the inner teeth, then pull out the hose and fill with water up to the overflow port (this equipment has no external drain hose; overflow water flows directly into the drip tray). After filling, immediately turn off the water source and reattach the hose.
Bottled water mode filling: You may use a measuring cup to assist filling through the filling port. Fill until water reaches the overflow port.
5.2 Power‑On Start and Accessory Installation
After confirming that water filling is complete and the water and air circuit sealing tests are satisfactory, insert the Jianbo JL1-3F power cord into a properly grounded three‑prong socket. Turn on the main power switch. Observe that the equipment operates without abnormal noise and the display panel functions normally.
The equipment light box mounting plate is fixed to the body through two small holes. If the threads are loose during installation, wrap with Teflon tape to increase thread thickness and enhance bite force, ensuring the mounting plate is firmly attached without wobbling.
VI. Post‑Installation Commissioning and Taste Calibration (Get It Done in 30 Minutes, Ready for Operation)
Upon first startup, wait 8–10 minutes for the Jianbo JL1-3F main unit water tank temperature to drop to the factory set range of 1–5°C, then proceed with dispensing commissioning.
Press the dispensing button on each valve head one by one. First, expel air from the lines until liquid flows continuously without bubbles. Confirm that each valve head dispenses smoothly without blockage or leakage.
Taste calibration: Use the syrup adjustment valve on the back of the Jianbo JL1-3F main unit to adjust the ratio of syrup to carbonated water. Turn clockwise to increase syrup volume, counterclockwise to decrease. Adjust to the standard taste to match the preferences of the store’s customers.
Dispense 10 consecutive cups. Confirm that the Jianbo JL1-3F main unit dispenses stably, with temperature fluctuation ≤0.5°C and no taste degradation. Once it meets the factory dispensing standard of 90–120 cups/hour, the machine is ready for normal store operation.
VII. Quick Troubleshooting for Common Installation Issues (Beginners’ Pitfall Prevention)
Fault Phenomenon Core Troubleshooting Direction Quick Handling Method
No pressure rise after power‑on Cylinder not opened, pressure not reaching rated value, air circuit seal failure Check if cylinder valve is fully open; readjust pressure to 70–80 psi; retighten all air circuit connections, replace sealing gasket, and retest
Syrup does not flow; no syrup output Syrup quick‑connect not tightened, syrup bag placed incorrectly, hose kinked or pinched Retighten connection until syrup naturally seeps out; place syrup bag with triangular mouth facing down and flat; straighten hose to ensure no kinks or pinches
Only gas, no water Water source interrupted, water inlet hose not fully inserted For tap water mode: check if water inlet ball valve is open. For bottled water mode: confirm hose is inserted vertically to bottle bottom, no kinks or floating. Restart the equipment after resolution
Bottled water mode fails to draw water Hose end adheres to bottle wall, hose not below water surface Cut hose end at an angle beforehand; adjust hose position to avoid wall adhesion or rising above water surface
No carbonation sensation in dispensed cup Insufficient air pressure, water tank temperature not reached, air circuit leakage Readjust pressure to 70–80 psi; wait for water tank temperature to drop to 1–5°C; perform a new air tightness pressure hold test to find leaks
