HOW TO TAP A BEER KEG
INSTALLING KEG TAP ON SINGLE BARREL TYPE KEG
This beer dispenser's coupler is compatible with a 1/4 pony keg sized barrel and a 1/2 barrel full
size (U.S.A. . The beer dispenser is capable of holding a 5-gallon cornelius keg and a 5-gallon D
system keg. You may find that you will need to use an alternate keg coupler.
Your CO2 canister has a capacity of 2.5 lbs, which will deliver approximately four 15-gallon kegs
of beer.
To ap a keg:
1. First be sure that the black dispenser handle of the keg coupler is
closed (pushed up, see Fig. 1 below . Also, make sure the tower
dispenser (on top of beer dispenser handle is closed before
proceeding with tap-to-keg connection.
2. Insert the keg coupler mechanism into the top of the keg neck
and perform a quarter-turn clockwise to lock the coupler and keg
together (Fig. 2 .
3. Before proceeding, make sure that you insert a black rubber
washer into the wing nut connector for the beer line (see page
7, bottom photo before connecting the line to the tap. Take
off the black protective cap from the tap and screw the wing
nut with the washer to a firm finger-tightness.
4. Insert the end of the CO2 line with the silver couple to the CO2
connection on the tap. Make sure the coupler connection is
secure. Next, secure the connection between the beer line
and tap with pliers (Fig. 3 and Photo 2, previous page . Make
sure here are no leaks.
5. To finalize the connection, pull the black tap handle out and push down until it clicks securely.
There will be an audible click, signaling that the CO2 and beer connections have been opened
and that your keg is tapped (Fig. 4 . Now you may open the regulator valve (top right photo
and open the valve on the CO2 tank itself as well. Set the regulator to read 10-12 psi by
turning the regulator handle (bottom photo, right clockwise.
6. Carefully tilt the keg onto the lip of the cabinet (using the keg support shown in Fig. 5 and
position slowly into the cabinet body until the door can close. HANDLE CAREFULLY. Do not
jostle or bang keg on CO2 canister.

OPERATION, MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
USING YOUR BEER DISPENSER
1. First be sure that you are connected safely to the proper power supply: a 120V, 60Hz, 16 Amp
grounded AC outlet. The cord should be rated for AT LEAST 1875 Wa s and a No. 14 AWG
minimum size.
2. Slide the drip tray beneath the spigot to catch excess beer, then pull the tower handle toward
your body to open the tap and dispense beer.
3. To pour beer with a proper head of foam, tilt the glass at a 45 degree angle until
approximately 2/3 full, then straighten the glass and finish pouring beer.
No e: If beer does not dispense, check previous sections on regulator hookup and tapping the
keg.
If your beer is running too slowly, adjust the pressure on the regulator judiciously (DO NOT
EXCEED 12 PSI .
Condensation on the spigot or tap is normal.
STORING YOUR BEER DISPENSER
1. To prevent ice buildup on the inside of the cabinet, set the temperature control to MID or LOW
if you live in a cold area. This unit does not self-defrost. The temperature control is located
inside the beer dispenser.
2. If you do not expect to use your beer dispenser for an extended period of time, rinse the beer
line to prevent mold or bacterial buildup which could cause illness.
3. Never use sharp objects in your beer dispenser. If you are storing your machine, be sure to
prevent children from playing in or around the unit.
DANGER! Children can become trapped in an unsecured and unsupervised environment.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
To clean the lines and tap, first:
1. TURN OFF THE CO2.
2. Next, wipe the outside of the machine, clean drip
tray and around guardrail. Clean the inside of
the cabinet by wiping with a damp cloth. Clean
gasket on door to help eliminate trapped, spilled
beer which could produce mold and mildew.
3. Disconnect the beer hose from the tap coupler
and twist dispenser faucet carefully off the top of
the beer dispenser.
4. Set the dispenser handle to the open or down
position before flushing, then position the faucet
over a sink and hold the beer line under running
water for approximately 5 minutes, allowing the
water to flush out the faucet head. This will also
help eliminate trapped, spilled beer which could
produce mold and mildew.
5. Reconnect beer line and dispenser faucet when
done or leave disconnected if you plan to store
for a long period.
