Precautions (safety measures)
In order to avoid personal injuries and damaging
the PEGAS CrafTap, please carefully review following
safety measures before starting to work with
the PEGAS CrafTap:
The power supply unit is only safe when used with
electrical networks of 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz, 0.5 A.
If smoke, unusual odors or abnormal sounds start
to emerge from the device and/or power unit,
immediately disconnect the power unit from the elec-
trical outlet. DO NOT use extension cords or any type of unap-

“We strongly recommend that you call a certified
electrician to install an approved power outlet if your
device cannot reach a proper power outlet.”
All used containers should conform with your local
sanitation requirements for food packaging
and be in accordance with your country's laws. Properly washing, rinsing, and sanitizing your

0.5 MPa (5 bar).
Compliance with the PEGAS CrafTap
operation rules and safety procedures will guarantee
undisrupted and safe device operation.
Before releasing the gas into a bottle make sure
the protective door of the device is closed.
Do not set the device pressure higher than 0.4 MPa
(4 bar).
The power supply unit should only be used with
a 100–240 Volt power system.
In case of a malfunction disconnect the device from
the power outlet.
Plug the device directly into a proper power
outlet.
Only use containers that are within the proper
requirements specified by the manufacturer
of the PEGAS CrafTap.
Ensure the PEGAS CrafTap is properly cleaned
and sanitized after every use.
Remember!
Also ensure the protective door is closed before
releasing the gas and/or filling a container.

6. Assembly Instructions
1. Select a suitable location for the device
installation.
2. Ensure that this location has enough free space
(minimum 150 mm/5.91") under the mounting
surface for device. This free space will guarantee
easy access to the supplying hoses, the device
lighting power supply and will allow the device fixing
mechanism screw, which is located under the
mounted surface, to operate properly.
3. Place the stencil for drilling holes over the
location where you want the device to be mounted.
4. After ensuring the stencil is positioned correctly,
including the direction you want the device to be
facing, use a pencil to mark the outlines of the stencil
onto the surface where you will mount the device.
10. Set the drip tray onto
the base
11. Take the beer supply hose (labeled ‘Beer’)
and the gas supply hose (labeled ‘Gas’) and (using
the proper connection parts) connect them to the
corresponding feed hoses *
12. Place the drainage hoses (labeled ‘Drainage’)
to the drainage container.
5. Using a 10mm drill bit, drill the holes for the 13. Connect the power cord into the power pack.
mounting bolts. Then use the Jig Saw to cut out the
area for everything else.
6. Screw the mounting bolts M8*100 into the base
of the PEGAS CrafTap.
7. Align the mounting bolts M8*100 with the mount
holes. Then carefully place the supply hoses and
power unit through the cut area before setting the
device down into place.
14. Plug the entire power unit into the power
socket. If the plug does not fit the socket, use the
adapter.
15. Turn on the lighting switch
16. The device is ready to use.
8. Secure the PEGAS CrafTap to the mounting
surface by placing the supplied nuts M8 and washers
8 on the mounting bolts M8*100 and then tightening
them. (If needed, you can cut the mounting bolts
after the device is secured.)
*For additional supplies, contact Micro Matic at
(Beer Equipment Store > Keg Beer System
Fittings).
At the time when the present Operation Manual was published, Micro
Matic was not an approved dealer for the PEGAS system and therefore they
may not carry spare parts for the PEGAS system at the present time.
9. Screw the handle the
screw and the hub
to the device bottle fixing mechanism.
Then screw the handle onto
the device filling mechanism.

However, the beer should not be pouring yet.
5. The bottle is now ready.
2.Slowly turn the pressure release valve handle
counterclockwise. It will open the pressure release
valve and the beer dispensing will start.
3.Watch the bottle fill with beer.
4.The more you open the pressure release valve
handle the faster the beer will pour. Therefore,
if you open the valve too fast, then you will cause the
beer to foam. So, slowly open the valve until you
reach the desired pour/foam ratio.
