Instructions
SETTING UP YOUR SYSTEM
1.
IMPORTANT!
Before attaching the regulator to the
CO2 tank, slowly open the tank valve wide open for 3-5
seconds to blow out any sediment that may be in the tank
valve. Reclose the valve tightly.
Whenever you are open-
ing the tank valve, do it extremely slowly to avoid damag-
ing the inner seals in the regulator.
2. Make sure the washer is seated evenly in the regulator
valve. Then attach regulator assembly to tank.
DO NOT OPEN THE TANK VALVE YET.
3. Insert the shorter extension tube into the plastic fitting on
the back of the flowmeter.
4. Take the other end of the extension tube and insert it onto
the “T” fitting as shown.
DISTRIBUTION RING
The distribution ring is designed to be suspended above the
plants in a circular pattern.
1. First screw the eyelets in according to the diagram.
2. Then thread the tubing through them in a circular pattern
over your growing area.
3. Connect the return end to the other side of the “T” fitting.
CO2 is heavier than air and will spread downward from the distri-
bution points.
Make sure the distribution tubing is secured and
does not interfere with your lighting or light movement systems.
ADJUSTING THE REGULATOR
Once the system is securely attached and set up, your regulator
can be adjusted.
1. Plug your solenoid cord into the timer and rotate the dial
until the tabs are in an “ON” position.
2.
Very, very slowly
open the tank valve until it is fully open.
3. Now, using a screwdriver and a crescent wrench adjust the
PSI gauge so it reads 30 PSI.
4. Tighten the locknut.
5. Unplug the solenoid valve.
