Install Caster Wheels
Make sure unit is empty (including white metal keg floor(11)). Carefully
tip the beer dispenser on its side. Connect the casters(13) to the cabinet
by screwing in each metal bracket into one of four caster holes (casters
in the front of the cabinet require the washers(12)). Then carefully set
the unit upright
Note: allow dispenser to stand in an upright position for 8 hours
before turning on the power.
2Remove Plug
Open the door, and with your hand push the top cabinet plug
through the top of the cabinet. Use flat head screwdriver as a prying
tool if necessary.
3a Install Tower
Now begin installing the tower(3). Unravel the beer line hose from the
bottom of the tower, and feed the hex nut and beer line through the hole
you uncovered in the top of the cabinet.
3b Secure Tower
Once you have fed all the line into the cabinet, you can now place the
tower into the unit. Align the black plastic adapter on the bottom of the
tower to the hole in the top of the cabinet. The adapter should mate
securely with the hole. Then turn the adapter about 25° to lock it into
place. The faucet connection for the tower should now face the front of the
cabinet. If the tower is not facing the front of the cabinet, remove it and
reinstall it from another position.
4Install Railing
Take the railing(4) and slide its
“feet” into the pilot holes in the
top of the cabinet

8Mount CO2Cylinder
Now mount the CO2cylinder
holder(9) to the cabinet. Match
up the holes on the holder with
the four screws jutting out of the
back of the cabinet and slide the
holder down to lock it in place.
Position the CO2regulator(6) in
the holder so that you will be
able to read the numbers on the
gauge and have easy access to
the shut-off valve.
14 Position Keg
Place the metal keg floor support(11) back into the cabinet.
Carefully tilt beer keg(17) and rest the edge on the keg floor
support on the bottom of the interior cabinet. Slide the keg in
slowly, ensuring that it is properly located, and all hoses are
clear of obstructions. Close door and enjoy.
5Install Handle & Faucet
Screw the black faucet handle(1) onto
the faucet (2). Line up the metal “teeth”
on the faucet with the metal “teeth” of
the faucet adapter on the front of the
tower(3). Make sure the faucet is
vertical with the black handle facing the
ceiling. The faucet should then be first
“hand tightened,” then secured with the
faucet wrench(18). Now place the plastic
drip tray(5) beneath the faucet.
9Connect Keg Coupler
To connect the keg coupler(10) to the keg(17), first make sure
the black pull handle of the keg coupler is in the closed
(diagonal/upper) position. Insert the keg coupler into the
locking neck of the beer keg and turn clockwise 25° to lock in
into place. Now the keg coupler is secured to the keg.
11 Connect Beer Line
Now connect the beer line from the
tower(3) to the keg coupler. Insert the
neoprene washer(14) (provided with
the kit) into the beer line hex nut (the
beer line is the line coming
from/going to the tower and faucet).
Remove the blue rubber protective
cap located on top of the keg coupler
and screw the nut with the neoprene
washer to the top of the keg coupler;
hand-tighten firmly.
6Connect Tube to Regulator
Make sure the CO2regulator(6) shut off valve is
closed- the switch below the main body should be
perpendicular to the tubing. Install the 4 ft. CO2
gas line tube(7) to the regulator by attaching one
end of the tube into the hose barb connection on
the CO2regulator. Secure the tube by using one of
the two self-locking red plastic snap-on
clamps(15). Use pliers or clamp crimpers to snap
the clamp on as high as possible. Make sure the
clamp does not impeed the valve. Then remove the
black rubber plug from the back of the unit and
feed the remaining unused end of the tubing
through the hole.
7Connect Regulator to Cylinder
Make sure the CO2cylinder(8) is full and
closed. Then attach the CO2regulator(6)
to the CO2cylinder by screwing the loose
golden regulator nut into the cylinder valve
and tightening with a wrench or pliers.
Note that a fiber washer is normally
required to connect a regulator to a CO2
cylinder, but the standard regulator
provided includes a built-in o-ring.
12 Tap Keg
To secure the tank connection,
pull the tap handle out (away
from the keg coupler(10)) and
push down until it locks into
position. Listen for the “click”
of the pull handle when it
shifts into the final downward
position. The keg is now
tapped.
10 Attach Tube to Coupler
Now attach the remaining open end of the CO2gas line tube(7) to
the keg coupler’s hose barb(10). Then secure the tube by using
the remaining self-locking red plastic snap-on clamp(15). Use
pliers or clamp crimpers to snap the clamp securely as close to the
coupler as possible.
13 Calibrate Regulator
(A) With the shut-off valve on the regulator(6) closed, open the valve on the gas cylinder(8) completely. (B) With your
fingers or a pair of pliers, loosen adjustment nut allowing adjustment screw to be turned counter-clockwise until
adjustment screw can no longer turn. (C) Now slowly turn the regulator adjustment screw clockwise until the desired
pressure is shown on the output pressure gauge. Under normal circumstances, we recommend setting the regulator at
12psi. NOTE: Other conditions, such as altitude or special beer type, may require some adjustment. On regulators
designed for draft beer, turning clockwise will increase the output pressure, and turning counter-clockwise will decrease
the output pressure. (D) Open the shut-off valve on the regulator-the switch below the main body should be parallel to
the tubing. Gas should now flow from the regulator to the keg coupler(10). You will hear the keg pressurizing. The
output needle will drop momentarily while the pressure is equalizing. Then, the needle will return to the point you set it
at. (E) The keg coupler is designed with a pressure relief valve (PRV). Pull the ring on the PRV briefly to allow gas to
vent. This will permit gas to flow through the regulator and help obtain a more accurate reading on the output pressure
gauge. (F) Re-check the output pressure on the regulator, and if necessary re-adjust using step B until the desired
pressure is shown.
NOTE: It is always wise to follow up any adjustment to the regulator with a brief pull of the PRV ring to ensure an
accurate output reading.
Warning: CO2can be dangerous! CO2cylinders contain high-pressure gas, which can be hazardous if
handled improperly. Please handle with care.
