LEVELING
All four casters of your unit must rest firmly on a solid floor. Use adjustable wrench to adjust leveling screws.
REGULATOR INSTALLATION
• Check to ensure plastic washer is inside the hex nut.
• Fasten the CO2 regulator (6) to the CO2 canister (12). Place the regulator to
the right of the tank.
• Tighten the hex nut securely. DO NOT over tighten. Over-tightening may
damage the gasket in the nut of the regulator.
SMALL CO2 HOSE TO REGULATOR CONNECTION
• Attach wing nut on end of small hose (8) to fitting at bottom of regulator (6).
SMALL CO2 HOSE TO COUPLER CONNECTION
• Secure other end of small hose (8) to the threaded end of keg coupler (7) as shown. Be
sure to fully tighten fitting.
NOTE: Depending on your choice of beer, you may require a different keg coupler (7) .
Check with your local beer distributor to determine which type of system you need,
and order additional keg couplers as needed .
COUPLER TO KEG CONNECTION
• Align locks on keg coupler (7) with housing on top of keg and push down on the keg
coupler (7). Make sure top handle is in the up position.

behind knob. After setting regulator to correct pressure, set screw may be retightened to
lock knob in place.

hose (beverage delivery line) and attach to keg coupler
