The gauge monitors low internal keg pressure and should be adjusted to read between 10-12 psi.
(See Figure 10)
·
In order to do that:
1.
Release adjustment lock nut marked 2.
2. Using a flat screwdriver, turn regulator screw marked 3. If increased low
pressure is sought,
rotate screw clockwise. By rotating it counter clockwise, low pressure will be decreased when
the required operating pressure is attained, retighten lock nut 2.
3. Open secondary shut off valve to let CO

flow into the keg.
