How it works>>

The Kegcheck should be used on a good level floor surface but in locations where this is not possible, or too inconvenient to avoid a sloping floor, endeavour to operate so that the Kegcheck is pulled up the slope. Always look to see that both the cellar floor and the keg's bottom rim are undamaged in the area immediately below the Kegcheck where the keg will be supported when it is tilted. A piece of flat hard material should be placed here if there is absolutely no good floor surface available. Make very sure that the keg is not stuck to the floor with dried beer, detergent etc.

How it works>>

1. Position Kegcheck as shown in the diagram

2. SLOWLY pull the handle horizontally (as illustrated) towards you until the far side of the keg is clear of the ground. Still moving slowly, gently ease the keg back to the floor. Whilst easingthe keg back and before it actually touches the floor, the correct amount of the contents will be shown by the pointeron the scale.

It is very important that:-
a) The handle is moved slowly without snatching as sudden movement can temporarily show a misleading reading and/or the keg may become out of control.

Calibration>>

If a genuinely full keg fails to show a true reading after all the above precautions have been observed then the construction characteristics of that particular type of keg will be the cause.

For example: if a full 18 gallon keg shows 19 gallons, then all SIMILAR kegs will read 1 gallon too much no matter how full they are. This may be taken into account on all future measurements or, if you prefer, the Adjusting Wheel (easily located at the end of the Kegcheck) may be used by turning the wheel clockwise or anti-clockwise.
