Installation Of The Beer Keg
•
Position the beer keg directly in front of the open door. Using keg handles only, carefully lift the
beer keg. (See Figure 5)
•
To place the beer keg inside the cabinet, brace your knees behind the beer keg. Lift the front of
the keg just enough so the front edge of the keg is resting on the front edge of the Beer Dispenser
bottom cabinet. (See Figure 6)
•
Grasp the keg handles and slide it all the way into the cabinet.

Make sure the secondary shut-off valve (shown in figure 9 in ‘Open’ position) is closed. To open
the main CO
2
cylinder valve, slowly turn the main valve counter-clockwise until fully open.

Regulator
The gauge monitors low internal keg pressure and should be adjusted to read between 10-12 psi.
(See Figure 10). The pressure can be adjusted as needed.

Allow several minutes for the keg to properly pressurize. Regulator gauge may drop while this
happens. (Note: Listen for hissing along all connections to identify if there are any leaks)
