Important Safety Precautions of CO2(Carbon Dioxide) Gas
1. CO2gas can be dangerous! CO2cylinders contain high-pressure
compressed gas, which can be hazardous if not handled properly. Make sure
you read and understand all the procedures for the CO2cylinders before
installation.
2. Always connect the CO2cylinder to a regulator! Failure to do so may cause an
explosion resulting in possible death or injury when the cylinder valve is
opened.
3. Never connect the CO2cylinder directly to the product container.
4. Always follow the correct procedures when changing cylinders.
5. Never drop or throw a CO2cylinder.
6. Always keep CO2cylinders away from heat. Store extra cylinders in a cool
place (preferably 70˚ F). Securely fasten with a chain in an upright position
when storing.
7. Always ventilate and leave the area immediately if CO2leakage has occurred!
8. Always check the D.O.T. (Department of Transport) test date on the cylinder
neck before installation. If it has been over 5 years, do not use. Return the
cylinder to your gas supplier.
9. Never connect a product container unless there are at least two safety devices
in the pressure system; one on the CO2regulator and the other on the product
container or in the pressure gas line.

Read carefully and understand all installation instructions before installing the beer
dispenser. If after completing the process you are still unsure whether the beer
dispenser has been properly installed, we recommend that you contact a qualified
installer.
Installing the Casters
Follow the steps below to install the casters.
1. Empty the inside of the cabinet completely and
lay the beer dispenser down sideways. We
recommend that you place a piece of
cardboard or cloth underneath the cabinet to
prevent dents or scratches to the cabinet.
2. Insert the casters into the holes on the bottom corners of the cabinet. Tighten
each caster by turning the nut clockwise with the wrench provided.
3. Once all four casters have been tightened evenly, stand the cabinet in an upright
position.
Installing the Beer Tap
Follow the steps below to install the beer tap.
1. First, remove the cabinet plug located on the
worktop. Firmly grasp the cabinet plug, twist
and pull upward.
Note: Store this plug in a safe place as it will
be required when converting the beer
dispenser into a refrigerator.
2. Place the gasket over the wing nut on the
bottom of the beer tap.
3. Pass the beer tube through the gasket to the
base of the beer tap.
4. Push both the wing nut and the beer duct
through the hole in the worktop until the beer
tap is resting on top of the cabinet.
5. Align the holes of the beer tap with the gasket and pilot holes on the worktop of
cabinet.
6. Secure the beer tap to the cabinet by inserting four large Phillips-Head screws
into the holes and tightening.

Installing the Guardrail
Follow the steps below to install the guardrail on
the worktop.
1. Place the guardrail on top of the cabinet.
2. Align all holes of the guardrail with the holes
of the cabinet.
3. Secure the guardrail to the cabinet with eight
small Phillips-Head screws.
Installing the CO2Regulator and CO2Cylinder
Follow the steps below to safely install the CO2regulator and CO2cylinder. You
must read and understand the following procedures for CO2cylinders before
installation.
Note: Your CO2cylinder is shipped empty to avoid any possible accidents during
transportation. When you purchase the first keg of beer, have your beer
distributor fill the CO2cylinder.
1. Install the CO2air line hose to the regulator by attaching one end of the red air
line hose to the hose barb connection on the
CO2regulator. Secure the hose by using one
of the two self-locking black plastic snap-on
clamps. Use pliers to snap the clamp on
tightly to ensure that there are no leaks.
2. Attach the CO2regulator to the CO2
cylinder by screwing the regulator nut onto
the cylinder valve and tightening with an
adjustable wrench.
3. Remove the nut from the retainer bolt.
Use two retainer fixing screws to secure the
retainer to the holes on the back of the
cylinder.
4. Slide the cylinder through the retainer and
place it in the cabinet. Then tighten the
retainer nut.
WARNING!
CO2can be dangerous! CO2cylinders contain high-pressured gas, which
can be hazardous if handled improperly. They must be handled with care.

Tapping the Beer Keg
(Single-Valve Type Barrel)
Your beer dispenser comes with an American Sankey Tap made by the Banner
Equipment Company. This brand name is the most widely used in the United States.
Before purchasing a keg, check with your beer distributor to make sure that a
Sankey Tap can be used.
Note: For European draft beer, a European Sankey is required. Please call the
Banner Equipment Company Toll-Free at [phone] for more
information.
Follow the steps below to tap the keg of beer.
1. Make sure the black pull handle of the keg coupler
is in the closed (up) position before installing it on
the beer keg. Insert the keg coupler into the locking
neck of the beer keg and turn clockwise 1/4-turn to
lock it into position. (see fig. 1)
2. Attach the open end of the red air line hose to the
hose barb connection on the keg coupler. Next,
secure the hose by using the remaining self-locking
plastic snap-on clamp to ensure that there are no
leaks. Secure the clamp tightly with pliers.
(see fig. 2)
3. It is very important that the black rubber washer be
installed inside the wing nut before connecting the
beer line to the keg coupler. Remove the black
rubber protective cap located on top of the keg
coupler and screw the wing nut with the rubber
washer onto the keg coupler. Hand-tighten firmly.
(see fig. 3)
4. Make sure the beer tower faucet is in the closed
(faucet handle pointing straight back) position before
connecting the keg coupler and the beer keg. To
secure the tank connection, pull the keg coupler
handle out and push down until it locks into position.
Listen for the "click" of the pull handle when it shifts
into the final downward position.(see fig. 4)
