1. Thread the Regulator Handle into the Air Regulator
only a couple of turns.
Do not tighten it.
tightening it will set the regulator to high
pressure, possibly causing property damage
when first connecting the air supply.
2. Incorporate an in-line shutoff valve, and
quick coupler for best service, as shown on
Figure B on page 6 and Figure C on page 7.
an in-line shutoff ball valve is an important
safety device because it controls the air
supply even if the air hose is ruptured.
the shutoff valve should be a ball valve
because it can be closed quickly.
note:
Wrap all threaded connectors before
connecting them with pipe thread seal
tape (PTFE) to prevent leaking.
3. Attach an air hose to the compressor’s air outlet.
Connect the air hose to the air inlet of the unit.
note:
Air flow, and therefore tool performance,
can be hindered by undersized air supply components.
The air hose must be long enough to reach
the work area with enough extra length to
allow free movement while working.
4. Check that the regulator handle is loose.
5. Close the in-line shutoff valve between
the compressor and the tool.
6. Turn on the air compressor according to
the manufacturer’s directions and allow it
to build up pressure until it cycles off.
7. Inspect the air connections for leaks.
Repair any leaks found.
air connection Setup
1. Connect the regulator valve, an inline shut off
valve and a 1/4″ NPT air hose to the Compressor’s
Quick Coupler. The air hose must be long
enough to reach the work area with enough extra
length to allow free movement while working.
note:
an in-line shutoff ball valve is an important
safety device because it controls the air supply even
if the air hose is ruptured. the shutoff valve should
be a ball valve because it can be closed quickly.
2. Depending on the tool that will be used
with this regulator, incorporate additional
components, such as an in-line oiler, a filter,
or a dryer (all sold separately), as shown on
Figure B on page 6 and Figure C on page 7.
Consult air tool’s manual for needed accessories.
