Please refer to this video for a detailed walkthrough on assembling a kegerator. This is specific to the Series X range, but most of the information is relevant to all kegerator setups
Before plugging in the unit, ensure it has been standing upright for at least 24 hours after movement
Tools Required: Philips head screwdriver and wrench or spanner
Cut the straps securing the carton. WIth the assistance of another person, carefully lift the carton off the Grand Deluxe
Remove the protective foam and plastic cover
Remove any protective plastic from the kegerator before first use
Using a Philips head screwdriver, carefully unscrew the brackets that secure the Grand Deluxe to the shipping pallet
Using the supplied bolts, carefully install the castors in each corner and the middle of the Grand Deluxe. If tiliting the unit to install the castor wheels, ensure that the unit is left upright for 24 hours before turning on.
The contersunk drip trays are plumbed inside and outside the Grand Deluxe. The drain tube can be emptied into a bucket or similar and simply emptied periodically, or (using the external barb) this can be drained directly to a suitable floor drain.
Ensure the CO2 cylinder is off by turning the cylinder valve handle clockwise
Ensure the regulator dial is completely unscrewed and ensure there is a nylon regulator washer between the type 30 nut and stem and the CO2 cylinder
Hand tighten the nut and stem onto the CO2 cylinder then tighten further with a 7 in 1 faucet tap wrench/spanner
The Mk4 regulator comes as standard with an 8mm x FFL duotight Fitting (KL06880)
Make sure the end of the EVABarrier hose doesn’t have any burrs and is cut straight and cleanly. Push the EVABarrier hose line firmly into the duotight fitting on the regulator and ensure it is secure up to the line indicated on the 8mm x FFL duotight fitting
On the right hand side of the Grand Deluxe is a gas port. This will need to be drilled out (we recommend an 8mm bit for a good fit) to accomodate the gas line.
The gas tubing can then be fed through the gas port into the kegerator. The gas line will also need to be tee'd off if you have two or more taps (duotight tee pieces included with Font Kit)
Remove the cap from the top of the font and ensure the font collar is present at the base of the font prior to attaching any duotight compatible short shanks
Feed the length of beer line through the tap hole on the front of the font and feed the beer line through the slimline nut and convex collet on the inside of the font
Push a 6.5mm x 8mm reducer onto the back of the duotight compatible short shank
Feed the tail and thread of the duotight compatible short shank through the tap hole and align the curvature of the shank and the concave collet with the curvature of the font
Push each length of beer line into a 6.5mm x 8mm reducer which is attached to a short shank
Tighten the slimline nut onto the thread of the duotight compatible short shank to secure the shank to the font tower
Repeat for all other duotight compatible short shanks and beer lines
Feed the beer lines from the duotight compatible short shanks into the kegerator
Attach the font to the top of the kegerator by screwing the font onto the font mounting points using four metric M5 stainless steel screws.
Attach each EVABarrier beer line to a liquid ball lock disconnect or keg coupler
Hand-tighten the tap (sold separately) onto the duotight compatible short shank
Tighten the short shank collar onto the tap using a 7 in 1 tap wrench/spanner
First, attach the font to the top of the kegerator using four metric M5 stainless steel screws. The mounting points can be found on the inside of the font and can be attached using a long screwdriver or flexible drill bit
Then attach the duotight compatible short shanks, duotight 6.5mm x 8mm reducer and beer line to the font tower as described in step 11. It is easiest to attach the shanks to the font tower in the order shown
Feed the beer lines from the duotight compatible short shanks into the kegerator.
Attach each EVABarrier beer line to a ball lock disconnect or keg coupler
Hand-tighten the tap (sold separately) onto the duotight compatible short shank
Tighten the short shank collar onto the tap using a 7 in 1 tap wrench/spanner
