REPLACING THE REGULATING SPRING
Disassembly
Close gas inlet valve (V1) located at the inlet to the installation.
Close gas inlet valve (V3) located at the outlet to the regulator.
Open bleed key (V2), located at the outlet to the regulator, until the area is depressurised.
Remove the plastic cover (1) in order to access the regulating nut (2)
Use a 24 mm tube spanner to turn the nut (2) anticlockwise and remove it.
Remove the regulating spring.
Installation
Choose from the list below the most suitable regulating spring for the required outlet pressure.
Carry out the operations described under "disassembly" in reverse order. It should be borne in mind that only those
screws indicated in the table below should be fitted. The fitting of other springs could cause damage to the regulator.
