HOW TO REPLACE AN EMPTY CO
• Remove hoses from routing clips.
• Remove the keg, then remove CO
• Close the canister valve of the empty canister by turning clockwise until it stops.
• Close the regulator shut-off valve by moving it to the 9 o'clock position.
• Carefully remove regulator from the empty CO
adjustable wrench. Check the condition of the gasket inside the nut and replace if necessary.
• Return canister to your local carbonic gas source for filling. (We suggest looking in your yellow
pages under "Carbonic Gas." Sources of CO
available at welding supply stores and beverage distributors.)
• Remove dust cap from new canister nut, if any.
• With the canister valve still in closed position, reattach the regulator to the new canister using
an adjustable wrench. Ensure the plastic washer is inside of the nut. Tighten nut until it feels
snug but be careful not to overtighten as you will damage the gasket inside the stem nut.
• Check to make sure that the braided gas line hose is still securely attached to the regulator.
• Open the canister valve all the way by turning counter-clockwise until it stops. This valve seals
at both the fully open and fully closed positions. Failure to completely open or close the valve
could result in premature loss of CO
• Open the regulator shut-off valve by moving it down to the 6 o'clock position.
• Check gauge pressure. Adjust the regulator adjustment screw as necessary until the pressure
reads between 12 to 14 psi. Tighten the adjustment lock nut.
• Replace keg and route hose clips.
