Step 1: Set the table top upside down on the floor.
Step 2: There will be either 4 or 6 slots for legs on your table. Loosen all lock screws on the table and shelf. Set all legs in place
and leave all set screws loose.
Step 3: Slide the shelf upside down onto the legs until the leg extends through the shelf bracket about 1 to
1 1/2 inches and tighten all set screws with the included allen wrench.
Step 4: Once the shelf and the set screws are tight, it’s time to install the casters. The caster has a bolt running through it with a
rubber outer casing. When the bolt is tightened the rubber will expand. Once the caster is placed into the leg, tighten the caster
bolt to insure its securely in place. Flip the table over onto the casters.

Familiarize yourself with the function of the brewhouse. Attach
QuickConnectors where needed. Your kit will come with 20 feet
of hose. Attach the hose to the QuickConnectors, stretch to the
desired length, and cut. Once you are satisfied with the length and
location of the hoses, crimp the hoses with a crimping tool.
(Figure 4)
Your parts kit will come with zip ties to label your hose.
Your parts kit will contain adhesive Velcro straps. Use the small straps underneath the table to hold the RipTide™ pump wires.
Use the large Velcro straps to mount to the back of the table. Your table will have 3 or 5 studs on the back to mount your large
Velcro straps to. Attach the large Velcro straps to the back of the table with the adhesive and use the acorn nut to lock them in
place. This will add extra reinforcement to the straps. The stud in the center of the table is for the RipTide™ cord and the 2 studs
closest to the cable hole and grommet is for the BoilCoil™ cables. (Figure 3)
The AutoSparge™ will come with a kit to use for 30
gallon and 55 gallon kettles. This will include a longer
stem and hose, as well as an extra float ball. (Figure 5)
*For systems using smaller kettles use what is provided
in the AutoSparge™ box. It will have the correct hose
length, ball, and stem.
