PARTS OF A CO2 REGULATOR

1.Pressure gauge (reads the amount of internal keg pressure).

2.Regulator adjustment screw (after keg is tapped, screw clockwise until pressure gauge indicates between 12 and 14 lbs.).

3.Adjustment lock nut (once the pressure gauge is between 12 and 14 lbs., tighten adjustment nut.)

4.Shut-off valve.

5.CO2 nut (use to connect to the tank).

HOW TO REPLACE AN EMPTY CO2 CYLINDER

1.Close shut-off valve “B”.

2.Close cylinder valve by turning clockwise “A”.

5.With cylinder valve “A” in closed position, reattach regulator to cylinder at “D”. (Check condition of gasket/o-ring).
