3.5 TAPPING INSTRUCTIONS
The largest keg this cooler accepts is a half keg. The Sankey type is the most modern
and easiest of all to tap with the available taps. The type of keg and tap you use
will depend on the brand of beer your purchase. Your beer distributor can provide
additional instructions and tips on how to maintain the beer to your satisfaction.
Following these tapping instructions, place the keg in front of cabinet for tapping. After
all connections are complete and checked for leaks, place the CO

bottle in the rear
(inside) of cabinet with the pressure gage visible for reading, then place the keg in
position, allowing the door to be closed completely without interference. Make certain
that beer line and keg are not touching the evaporator.
