Tapping the Beer Keg (Single-Valve Type Barrel)
Follow these steps below to tap the beer keg.
1.Make sure the black pull handle of the coupler is in the closed (up) position before installing it on the keg (Fig. 1 - below). Insert the keg coupler into the locking neck of the beer keg and turn clockwise until it locks into position (Fig. 2 - below). This means that it is secured to the keg.
2.When connecting the beer line to the top of the coupler, it is very important that the wingnut tightens completely. This must be completed prior to inserting the backflow stopper into the coupler.
3.Before attaching the CO2 line, be sure to insert the rubber directional washer into the side of the coupler. Attach the CO2 line (see step 3 on pg. 5) and
Secure the tank with CO2 tank strap.
4.Make sure the beer tower faucet is in the closed (handle pointing straight back) position before connecting the coupler to the keg. To secure the tank connection, pull the coupler handle out and push down until it locks into position. Listen for the “click” of the pull handle when it shifts into the final downward position (Fig. 4 - below). This will open the beer and CO2 gas valves. The keg is now tapped.
5.Carefully tilt the keg and rest the edge on the keg base board on the bottom of the interior cabinet. Slide the beer keg slowly, ensuring that it is properly located (Fig. 5) and carefully close the door.
