Installation of the Keg Coupler
Insert the keg coupler into the locking neck of the beer keg and turn it clockwise to lock into position,
making sure the keg coupler handle is in the closed position, with the handle up.
How to Tap a Keg of Beer
• Make sure the CO
2
is turned off and the valve on the regulator is in the closed position.
• Pull out and release the pressure release valve on the coupler to purge any air pressure.
• Make sure the beer tower faucet handle is in the closed position.
• Pull coupler handle out and downward until it locks into its open position. The teeth on the
underside of the coupler will bite into the locking neck of the beer keg.
Note:
If a keg is very tall, it may be necessary to connect the coupler to the keg before inserting the
keg into the keg cooler.
Opening the CO
2
Cylinder Main Valve
• Make sure the secondary shut-off valve (shown below in “open” position) is closed. To open the
main CO
2
cylinder valve, slowly turn the main valve counter-clockwise until fully open.
• Notice the needle on the regulator gauge start to climb.
Adjusting the CO
2
Regulator
The gauge monitors low internal keg pressure and should
be adjusted to read between 8-12 PSI. The pressure can be
adjusted as needed. If the beer is very foamy, try turning the
PSI down. If the fl ow of beer is very weak, try turning the PSI
up.
Note:
After making any adjustment to the PSI, wait 5 - 10
minutes before attempting to pour another beer to allow the
pressure to equalize.
• Release adjustment lock nut marked 2.
• Using
a
fl at screwdriver, turn regulator screw marked 3.
- To increase pressure, turn screw clockwise.
- To decrease pressure, turn screw counter-clockwise.
• Retighten lock nut marked 2.
• Open secondary shut off valve to let CO
2
fl ow into the
keg.
• 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.
