15.    While holding the rim of the box bottom at eye level, turn 

the adjustable crown orifice in (clockwise) until the lever 
drops about 4mm below the case rim. Then, turn the 
crown counterclockwise until the lever is even with the 
case rim.

16.    Add a new o-ring (42) to the male end of the medium 

pressure hose. Install a new, lubricated o-ring (38) to the 
swivel end of the hose

17.    Adjust the lever height 

         

NOTE

: The inline adjustment tool can be use 

with crowns with a screwdriver slot or a hex hole. 
Make sure the inline tool is set to use the screw-
driver slot.

a.      Attach the Aqua 

Lung in-line tool 
(p/n 100190) to the 
second stage. It can 
accommodate both 
the crown orifice 
with the 5mm hex 
and the crown orifice with the slot. The tool is 
shown with the optional in-line medium pressure 
gauge (p/n111605). 

b.      Attach the swivel end of the medium pressure 

hose to the other end of the inline tool. Attach the 
male end of the hose to a properly adjusted first-
stage regulator (135±5). Attach the first-stage to 
a fully charged cylinder. Slowly open the cylinder 
valve to pressurize the regulator.

c.      Press inward on the adjustment wheel of the inline 

tool. Slowly rotate the adjustment wheel until the 
inline tool engages the crown orifice. Turn the 
crown in until the lever drops approximately 

¹₄

”. 

This will “coin” the rubber seat to help achieve a 
better seal. Now back the crown orifice out (coun-
terclockwise). The lever will raise. Continue until 
the lever is even with the rim of the box bottom.

18.    Position the diaphragm (7) into the box bottom. Using 

your finger or a small wooden dowel, work the edges 
of the diaphragm into place. Place the thin, white thrust 
washer (6) on top of the diaphragm. Make sure it is 
seated evenly all the way around.

19.    Screw in the diaphragm 

retainer (5), flat side fac-
ing the diaphragm, until 
fingertight. Use the Titan 
LX diaphragm retain-
ing tool (p/n 129001) to 
tighten approximately 
another 

¹₄

 turn. After 

installing the diaphragm 
retainer, grab the edges of the strike plate and gently tug 
the diaphragm to the left, right, top and bottom to make 
sure it is secure in the box bottom. If the diaphragm pulls 
out, then you need to reinstall it.

20.    Position the rubber purge cover (4) onto the box bottom. 

Make sure that the nameplate is oriented correctly.  In-
stall the mating ring (2) onto the retaining ring (1). While 
holding the purge cover stationary, screw the retaining 
ring  into the box bottom until snug.
