CHILL'N TAP ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS CON’T
1 6 . Installation of the Keg Coupler: IMPORTA N T
N O T I C E ; Make sure the black pull handle of the
keg coupler is in the "upward" (closed) position
before installing on the beer keg. See Fig. 9 Insert
the keg coupler into the locking neck of the beer
keg and apply a 1/4 turn clockwise to lock into
p o s i t i o n .
1 7 . Installation of the CO2 Air Line Hose to the Keg
C o u p l e r : Attach the open end of the (red) air line
hose to the hose barb connection on the keg
c o u p l e r. Secure hose by using the remaining (self
locking) plastic snap on clamp provided. (use pliers
to tighten clamp and assure there are no leaks)
1 8 . Installation of the Beer Line Hose to the Keg
Coupler: IMPORTANT NOTICE: The black rubber
washer (provided) must be installed inside the
wing nut before connecting the beer line to the keg
c o u p l e r. Remove the black rubber protective cap
located on top of the keg coupler and screw the
wing nut (with rubber washer) onto the keg
c o u p l e r. (hand tighten firmly)
1 9 . Making the connection between the Keg
Coupler and Beer Keg: Before making (opening)
connection between the keg coupler and beer keg,
make sure the beer tower faucet is in the closed
position. (faucet handle straight back) To engage
the tank connection, pull the keg coupler handle
out and push down until it locks into position.
Listen for positive "click" of the pull handle in the
final downward position. See Fig. 10
2 0 . Opening the CO2 Cylinder Main Va l v e : Before
opening the main valve located on top of the CO2
c y l i n d e r. Make sure the "secondary" shut-off valve
located on the lower stem pipe of the regulator is
in the "closed" position. See Fig. 11
N O T E : When the secondary valve (handle) is
positioned "Horizontal" (east/west) the valve is
c l o s e d .
When the secondary valve (handle) is positioned
" Vertical" (north/south) the valve is open.
To open the main CO2 cylinder valve, (slowly) turn
the main valve counter clockwise until fully open.
You will notice the needles on both gauges start to
climb.
2 1 . Adjusting the CO2 Regulator: There are two
pressure gauges on the CO2 regulator.
See Fig. 12 The upper gauge #1 monitors "LOW"
(internal keg) pressure and must be adjusted to
the correct operating pressure of 10~12psi/lbs. T h e
lower gauge #2 monitors "HIGH" (CO2 cylinder)
pressure and is not adjustable. The high pressure
gauge also acts as a fuel gauge to let you know
when the C02 cylinder needs re-filling.
I M P O R TA N T: The internal operating pressure of the
beer keg should be adjusted and maintained between
10 ~ 12psi/lbs. To adjust the "low" pressure gauge;
• Using an adjustable wrench, release the adjustment
lock nut # 3. See Fig. 12
• Using a flat screwdriver, turn the regulator
adjustment screw # 4 See Fig. 12
Clockwise rotation of the adjustment screw will
increase low pressure.
Counter clockwise rotation of the adjustment screw
will decrease low pressure
• When the required operating pressure is attained
retighten the adjustment lock nut # 3.
• You are now ready to serve cold beer
