Remove and from inside the kegerator
Remove any protective film and tape from the kegerator
Inspect kegerator for any damage that may have incurred in transit including liquid or oil marks inside packaging. If any damage is noted contact your retailer
Make sure the kegerator is empty
Carefully lay the kegerator on its side on a soft surface such as carpet, cardboard or a towel. NOTE: Ensure the kegerator is tipped onto the right hand side (as seen from the front). Tipping the kegerator towards the inlet side of the compressor will decrease the chance of oil migrating into refrigerant line which can cause cooling and noise issues
Unscrew the feet from the base of the kegerator
Remove the screws in the base of the kegerator in each corner. These are pre-installed screws that are used to mount the castor wheels. NOTE: These can be quite tight from the factory. A 5/16" socket or wrench will allow more leverage than a Philips driver if required
The two locking castor wheels should be installed towards the front of the kegerator
Position the kegerator back upright and leave for a minimum 1 hour before turning it on to allow the refrigerant gas to settle. If installing the castors shortly after receiving the kegerator, leave the kegerator upright for a minimum of 24 hours before turning it on
NOTE: The screw holes may be filled with foam and have a foil covering. If this is the case push and thread the screws through the foam or foil. The screw will then catch on the thread allowing it to be screwed in completely
Position the guard rail so the feet line up with the holes in the top of the kegerator
Push the feet of the railing firmly into the holes
Align the four holes in the bracket with the four studs on the back of the kegerator
Insert the studs into the holes and then push the bracket down firmly to secure it
Ensure the CO2 cylinder is off by turning the cylinder valve handle clockwise
Ensure the regulator dial is completely unscrewed and 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 tool or a suitable wrench
Ensure the CO2 cylinder is off by turning the cylinder valve handle clockwise
Ensure the regulator dial is completely unscrewed and 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 using the knurled grip. MK5 Regulators can be hand tightened due to the new spigot seal design that easily compresses
Thread the KL06880 duotight fitting onto the regulator by hand, then tighten gently with a 7 in 1 tool or a suitable wrench. NOTE: DO not over tighten as this may cause the duotight fitting to split
Ensure the end of 8mm EVABarrier is free of burrs and is a clean, 90° cut
Push the line firmly into the KL06880 duotight fitting, ensuring it is inserted up to the line as marked on the fitting (approx. 22mm)
The MK5 regulator comes as standard with an 8mm duotight ball valve and integrated check valve
Ensure the end of 8mm EVABarrier is free of burrs and is a clean, 90° cut
Push the line firmly into the duotight fitting, ensuring it is inserted fully (approx.22mm)
Ensure the ball valve is opened before using the MK5 Regulator
Unscrew one of the caps on the back of the Series X and feed the EVABarrier gas line through the hole
The gas port threads can be easily converted to allow a gas disconnect connection, which is quite convenient for disconnecting the gas line from the kegerator. This is optional
Cut the 8mm EVABarrier gas line to the correct length so that it easily reaches from the regulator to the Carbonation Cap
Connect the Gas Disconnect to the Carbonation Cap to complete the assembly
The MK4 regulator comes as standard with a
You will need 1 x Carbonation Cap, 1 x Gas Disconnect, 1 x 8mm x 6.35mm duotight reducer
Screw the Carbonation Cap onto the gas inlet thread at the back of the kegerator
Fit the Gas Disconnect onto the end of the gas line, ensuring it is inserted up to the line as marked on the fitting (approx. 22mm)
FIt the 8mm x 6.35mm duotight reducer onto the corresponding barb of the Carbonation Cap inside the kegerator. The gas line(s) inside the kegerator will then attach directly to this duotight fitting
