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 the dispenser to stand in an upright position for 24 hours
before plugging in the unit.
2Power On
Plug unit into a standard 3-prong 110/volt electrical outlet. Turn the
thermostat clockwise to the desired temperature. The recommended
setting is between 4-5 on the dial.
NOTE: Temperature settings can vary depending on beer type, ambient
temperature and preference. We do not recommend plugging this unit
into an extension cord.
3Remove Plug
Carefully remove the top cabinet plug located on the top of the unit by
opening the cabinet, and with your hand, push plug through the top of the
cabinet from the inside. Use flat head screwdriver as a prying tool if neces-
sary.
4Mount Tower
(A) Place the black rubber tower gasket (#19) flat on the top of the
cabinet and line up the predrilled holes.
(B) Unbox the tower (#3) and unravel the beer line hose from the bottom.
Feed the clear beer line through the large opening at the top of the
cabinet.
(C) Place the tower on top of the unit and align the screw holes at the
bottom of the tower to the predrilled holes located on the top of the
cabinet. Secure the tower by attaching the four tower screws (#20) with a
phillips head screwdriver to the top of the cabinet. 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 to the proper
position.

Warning
CO2can be dangerous! CO2cylinders contain high-pressured gas, which can be
hazardous if handled improperly. Please handle with care.

Install Handle & Drip Tray
Screw the black faucet handle (#1) onto the
faucet (#2). Make sure the faucet (#2) is
vertical with the black handle facing the
upward. The faucet should be first “hand
tightened,” then secured with the faucet
wrench (#18). Place the plastic drip tray (#5)
on the top of the cabinet beneath the faucet.
NOTE: Do not twist the faucet if it does not
line up properly. Instead remove the faucet
with the faucet wrench and reinstall the faucet
to the desired position.

9Connect Co2 Tube to Regulator
Make sure the CO2 regulator (#6) shut off valve is closed by checking that the lever below the main
body is perpendicular (9 o’clock) to the valve barb fitting. Then remove the black rubber plug from
the back of the unit.
(A) From the inside of the kegerator, push the end of the blue co2 tube (#7) through the predrilled
hole and out the back of the cabinet.
(B) Slide the metal hose clamp (#15) over the blue air line coming from the back of the unit.
(C) Attach the end of the blue air line that does not have the hex nut fitting to the hose barb fitting on
the bottom of the regulator (#6).
(D) Secure the tube by sliding up the previously installed metal hose clamp (#15) all the way up to
where the hose meets the regulator. Use a flathead screwdriver to tighten. Make sure the clamp does
not impede the 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 prop-
erly located, and all hoses are clear of obstructions.
Close door and enjoy!

10 Attach Co2 Tube to Coupler
Remove the rubber protective cap located on the side of the keg
coupler (#10). Secure the hex nut at the end of the blue co2 line
(#7) to the side of the coupler. Use a wrench to tighten hex nut to
the coupler.
12 Tap Keg
To connect the keg coupler (#10) to the keg
(#17), first make sure the black pull handle
of the keg coupler is in the up position (45°
angle). Insert the keg coupler into the valve
on top of the keg and turn clockwise until it
stops about 90° to lock the coupler into
place. Now 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.
7Connect Regulator to Co2 Cylinder
Before you start, make sure the Co2 cylinder (#8) is full and the valve
is closed completely by turning the knob clockwise until it stops.
Attach the Co2 regulator (#6) to the CO2 cylinder by screwing the hex
nut on the right side of the regulator onto the cylinder valve. Hand
tighten the nut until it stops and then slightly tighten from there with
a wrench or pliers.
NOTE: 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. Once that o-ring has worn out or leaks it will need to be
replaced.

Warning
CO2can be dangerous! CO2cylinders contain high-pressured gas, which can be
hazardous if handled improperly. Please handle with care.
Note: This manual is intended as a guide for installation. While there are many
different ways to install this kit, we recommend you follow these instructions. If you
are uncomfortable in your ability to assemble this kit, seek professional assistance.
Install Railing
Take the railing (#4) and slide its
“feet” into the pilot holes in the top
of the cabinet
Mount CO2Cylinder
Now mount the CO2 cylinder holder (#9) to the cabinet. Match up the
holes on the cylinder holder with the four existing screws protruding
out the back of the cabinet and slide the holder down to lock it in
place. Place the Co2 cylinder with the regulator connected into the
cylinder holder. Position the Co2 regulator 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.
Calibrate Regulator
(A) With the shut-off valve on the regulator (#6) closed (lever in the 9 o’clock position), open the
valve on the gas cylinder (#8) completely by turning it counterclockwise.
(B) Slowly turn the regulator adjustment knob clockwise until the desired pressure is shown on the
pressure gauge on the top. By turning the knob clockwise it will increase (+) pressure and counter-
clockwise will decrease (-) pressure. Under normal circumstances, we recommend setting the regula-
tor at 10-12psi. NOTE: When adjusting pressure from a high pressure to a lower pressure, you will
need to release the higher pressure out by pulling the manual pressure release valve ring located on
the bottom right of the regulator.
(C) Once the desired pressure is set, open the shut-off valve by turning the lever down (6 o’clock
position or parallel to the blue air line). Gas should now be flowing from the regulator to the keg
coupler. 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.
(D) (Optional) Once you have all your pressure settings dialed in, screw down the locking ring (behind
the main adjustment knob) clockwise until it firmly stops and is against the body of the regulator. By
doing this step it will stop the adjustment knob from increasing pressure. If however you need to
increase pressure, loosen the locking nut away from the body of the regulator and make any adjust-
ment.
NOTE: Other conditions, such as altitude, beer type, and temperature may require some adjustment.
It is always wise to follow up any adjustment to the regulator with a brief pull of the pressure release
valve ring on the regulator or coupler to ensure an accurate output reading.

11 Connect Beer Line to Coupler
Remove the rubber cap from the top of the cou-
pler. Place the neoprene washer (#14) on top of
the coupler (#10). Take the hex nut from the end
of the beer line (clear line pre-attached to the
tower) and screw it onto the top of the keg cou-
pler so that the neoprene washer is between it.
Use a wrench to secure the fitting to the coupler.
