Product Precautions

Installation

Adjustment

AWarning

1. Adjust the regulator while monitoring inlet and outlet pressure gauges. Turning the knob beyond reasonable resistance may damage internal parts.

2. The regulator is intended to be adjusted manually. Do not use tools on the regulator knob as this can cause damage.

A Caution

• Pull the regulator knob to unlock. (Orange stripe will appear in

the gap.)

• Make sure the knob is unlocked before adjusting the pressure and lock it after setting the pressure. Failure to unlock or lock may damage the knob or other parts and the outlet pressure may vary from expected settings.

• Push the regulator pressure knob to lock. If the knob is not easily locked, adjust it left or right slightly and then push to lock. (The orange stripe will be covered when the knob is locked.)

A Caution

1. This product is specifically designed for compressed air service, and use with any other fluid (liquid or gas) is a misapplication. For example, use with or injection of certain hazardous liquids or gasses into the system (such as alcohol or liquid petroleum gas) could be harmful to the unit or result in a combustible condition or hazardous external leakage. Manufacturer's warranties are void in the event of misapplication and manufacturer assumes no responsibility for any resulting loss.

2. Contaminants in the compressed air stream must be filtered and drained with a suitable component before reaching this regulator product.

3. Install the component that is the same pipe size as the line on which it is to be mounted. Do not use fittings that may restrict air flow.

4. Supply and outlet connections must be made to ports marked "IN", "OUT" or marked with directional symbols.

5. Unit must be mounted with adjusting knob in vertical attitude either up or down.

6. Install this unit ahead of equipment that requires regulated pressure.

7. When using in combination with a lubricator, always install this regulator before the lubricator.
