CO2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, WARNINGS & DANGER NOTICES
1. DANGER! Carbon dioxide is a potentially dangerous gas. Canisters or cylinders are under
pressure and proper handling is essential for safety. Familiarize yourself with canister
installation and replacement before operating this unit. HANDLE WITH CARE. Never jostle,
toss or treat cylinders roughly. If you experience headache or difficulty breathing, a leak may
be occurring; open windows and doors to ventilate the area and leave immediately.
2. INTENDED FOR UPRIGHT, FREE-STANDING USE ONLY. Do not install in cabinet or
enclosed spaces.
3. Store CO
cylinders away from heat or explosive gases. Keep in a cool, dry space (lower
2
than 70°F) and chain canisters upright to avoid tipping or knocking. Always wear gloves and
safety glasses when around chemicals.
4. Review and follow instructions for changing CO
cylinders. NEVER CONNECT A CO2
2
CANISTER DIRECTLY TO THE UNIT. To avoid potential explosion that could result in grave
injury or even death, ALWAYS CONNECT THE CANISTER TO THE CO

BEER DISPENSER ASSEMBLY
Be sure you have a thorough familiarity with the
assembly and installation process before turning
on your beer dispenser.
NOTE: Once casters are assembled, place your
unit in an upright position and allow it to sit for at
least 8-10 hours before plugging into an outlet.
This will allow the refrigerant to settle before
operation.
CASTER ASSEMBLY
1. Remove every-
thing from the
cabinet and lay
the unit on a
clean, dry and
padded surface.
2. Install casters
into holes on
bottom of unit
as shown and
tighten with a wrench. Two of the four casters
provided are equipped with locks to prevent
slippage of the keg on smooth surfaces such
as hardwood floors, linoleum or tile. These
casters should be installed on the front of
the unit.
3. Once all four casters are attached, return the
beer dispenser to an upright position and allow
to remain for at least 8-10 hours. (See Note
above.)
GUARDRAIL INSTALLATION
To install the guardrail,
1. Place the guardrail on top of the beer
dispenser and line up the feet of the guardrail
with the holes on top of the cabinet.
2. Using the screws provided, secure each foot to
the cabinet.
BEER TAP INSTALLATION
To install the beer tap, first line up the draft arm
notches with the notches in the hole in the top of
the beer dispenser. Feed the arm into the hole,
making sure that the notches are aligned properly.
Slide arm down and twist until the arm is secure.
(No screws or fasteners are necessary.)
While not required, we recommend the use of the
black rubber gasket when installing the beer tap.
using the gasket will provide a more secure
seating for the arm assembly. (See figures A, B
and C in the next column.)

REGULATOR.
IMPORTANT! Your CO
canister is
2
shipped to you EMPTY for safety
reasons. You will need to get this
canister filled before you can use your unit. In most areas, you can get canisters filled at:
Ø stores that sell kegs
Ø party stores or convenience stores
Ø fire and welding supply stores.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REFILL CO
CANISTERS YOURSELF!

DANGER! Carbon dioxide is a potentially dangerous gas. Canister or cylinders are under
pressure and proper handling is essential to safety. ALWAYS HANDLE WITH CARE!
To install the dual-gauge regulator
1. Insert the end of the CO
2
:
line with the green coupler onto the bottom
end of the regulator. (See Figure D above and Photo 1, next page.)
Secure line to regulator by tightening the green coupler.
2. Next, insert the black rubber washer that comes with this unit into the
attachment nut on the regulator (as shown in figure E).
3. Connect the regulator to the canister by screwing the attachment nut
onto the canister valve (see Figure F). Tighten with an adjustable
wrench (not provided), but DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
4. Secure the canister with the rubber restraining strap (on side of beer
dispenser cabinet) as shown in Figure D. Be sure to situate the canister
so that the gauges are easily readable and the shut-off valves are easily
accessible.
See following page for examples of correct connections.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS: Ensure that the safety devices for your
pressurized system are installed and remain installed. Once installed,
NEVER remove the rubber washers in the regulator attachment nut to the
canister or in the tap mechanism. NEVER bypass these safety features.
Failure to comply will void your warranty and could result in serious injury or death!

sure there are no leaks.
There will be an audible click, signaling that the CO
and beer connections have been opened

OPERATION, MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
USING YOUR BEER DISPENSER
1. First be sure that you are connected safely to the proper power supply: a 120V, 60Hz, 16 Amp
grounded AC outlet. The cord should be rated for AT LEAST 1875 Watts and a No. 14 AWG
minimum size.
2. Slide the drip tray beneath the spigot to catch excess beer, then pull the tower handle toward
your body to open the tap and dispense beer.
3. To pour beer with a proper head of foam, tilt the glass at a 45 degree angle until
approximately 2/3 full, then straighten the glass and finish pouring beer.
Note: If beer does not dispense, check previous sections on regulator hookup and tapping the
keg.
If your beer is running too slowly, adjust the pressure on the regulator judiciously (DO NOT
EXCEED 12 PSI).
Condensation on the spigot or tap is normal.
STORING YOUR BEER DISPENSER
1. To prevent ice buildup on the inside of the cabinet, set the temperature control to MID or LOW
if you live in a cold area. This unit does not self-defrost. The temperature control is located
inside the beer dispenser.
2. If you do not expect to use your beer dispenser for an extended period of time, rinse the beer
line to prevent mold or bacterial buildup which could cause illness.
3. Never use sharp objects in your beer dispenser. If you are storing your machine, be sure to
prevent children from playing in or around the unit.
DANGER! Children can become trapped in an unsecured and unsupervised environment.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
To clean the lines and tap, first:
1. TURN OFF THE CO
2. Next, wipe the outside of the machine, clean drip
tray and around guardrail. Clean the inside of
the cabinet by wiping with a damp cloth. Clean
gasket on door to help eliminate trapped, spilled
beer which could produce mold and mildew.
3. Disconnect the beer hose from the tap coupler
and twist dispenser faucet carefully off the top of
the beer dispenser.
4. Set the dispenser handle to the open or down
position before flushing, then position the faucet
over a sink and hold the beer line under running
water for approximately 5 minutes, allowing the
water to flush out the faucet head. This will also
help eliminate trapped, spilled beer which could
produce mold and mildew.
5. Reconnect beer line and dispenser faucet when
done or leave disconnected if you plan to store
for a long period.
