VACATION AND MOVING TIPS
Short Vacations:
Leave the beer dispenser operating during vacations of less
than three weeks.
Long Vacations:
If the beer dispenser will not be used for several months:
•
Unplug the power cord.
•
Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
•
Leave the beer dispenser door open slightly, blocking it
open if necessary, to prevent odor and mold growth.
Moving:
When moving the beer dispenser, follow these guidelines to
prevent damage.
•
Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet.
•
Remove keg, and clean the beer dispenser.
•
Secure all loose items such as the basket and the shelves
by taping them securely in place to prevent damage.
•
In a moving vehicle, secure beer dispenser in an upright
position to prevent movement. Also protect outside of

KEG CONNECTIONS – TANK REPLACEMENT
How do I replace an empty C0
2
tank?
1. Close tank drum valve by turning clockwise.
2. Unscrew adjustment Set Screw (counter-clockwise) as far
as it will go and close shut off valve.
3. Remove regulator from empty tank.
4. Remove dust cap from the new full tank. Open and
close drum valve quickly to blow of the dust from the
outlet.
5. With drum valve in closed position, reattach regulator to
the tank. Be sure to check the washer, which is
pre-installed on the C0
2
regulator.
6. Open drum valve all the way. (This is important because
this drum valve seals in two places.)
7. Readjust regulator pressure by turning set screw and
open shut off valve.
Tank Information: Tank must always be fastened in the
upright position. It takes about 1/2 lb.
of C0
2

beer. A 5 lb. C0
2
tank should dispense
between 8-10 1/2 barrel kegs or 18-20
1/4 barrel kegs. Full weight of 5 lb. tank
is appx. 17-1/2 lbs.
