1/4” AIR REGULATOR
4) Assembly Cont.
Connecting the Air Regulator to the Compressor
Note:
It is recommended that Teflon tape is used on the fitting (eg. Nitto Style fitting) to reduce the risk of any air leaks.
1. The first thing to consider during installation of the 1/4” Air Regulator is location. It is important to locate the unit so that it
is easily accessible and so that the gauge can be easily read.
2. Ensure your air compressor is turned off and unplugged from mains power.
3. Gather your fittings (eg. Nitto Style) and wrap teflon tape around the thread. Then thread the fitting into the inlet
port (4) and outlet port (8) of the 1/4” Air Regulator.
4. Install the Kincrome 1/4” Air Regulator to the air outlet of the air compressor vertically with the bowl facing down.
Caution: Make sure the air flow port marked ”IN” is connected to the air compressor outlet and the airflow port marked “OUT”
is connected to the tool/hose.
Note: The air regulator should be positioned as close as possible to the air compressor, to reduce the risk of
accidental damage.
5) Operation
To Increase and Decrease the Regulators Pressure
Note:
Ensure the drian tap (1) is in the “ ” position, while the compressor is running.
1. Before turning on the air compressor, make sure that the 1/4” Air Regulator is correctly installed to the air compressor and the
fluid reservoir (2) is securely fastened in place by hand tightening the fluid reservoir (2) (clockwise direction),
DO NOT over tighten.
2. Pull up the 1/4” Air Regulators adjustable pressure knob (7) to unlock.
3. Turn the 1/4” Air Regulator adjusting pressure knob (7) , anti-clockwise until it will not turn any more (no load on the air
regulating spring).
4. Turn on the air compressor and turn the 1/4” Air Regulators adjusting pressure knob (7) clockwise, until the desired outlet
pressure is obtained.
5. Push down the regulator adjusting knob (7) towards to lock in the desired pressure range (eg. 90psi).
6)Maintenance, Drainage & Storage
Maintenance
1. Inspect and replace cracked, damaged or deteriorated parts.
2. Wipe fluid reservoir (2) with a soft dry cloth, to clean.
3. Replace the air bronze filter (9), when it is dirty, or if the air filters effect decreases significantly.
4. For optimum performance, drain the fluid reservoir (2) daily. To avoid spray and spillage, cover the bottom of the 1/4” Air
Regulator with a cloth and turn the drain tap (1) located on the bottom of the 1/4” Air Regulator.
Drainage
Caution: The built up moisture will discharge from the bottom of the drain tap, please drain in an appropriate area, be mindful or
slippery surfaces and maintain a safe working environment.
Caution: Keep the Air Regulator out of direct sunlight, hot areas and hazardous chemicals.
Note:
When the water level exceeds the max drain level, drain off immediately to keep optimal dehumidification.
1. To drain the 1/4” Air Regulator of built up moisture, you must drain the fluid reservoir (2) manually, via the drain tap (1) located
on the bottom of the 1/4” Air Regulator.
2. It is recommended to drain the 1/4” Air Regualtor while the compressor is running and is fully pressurised.
3. When water exceeds the max drain level, turn the drain tap (1) to “ “ to manually drain the built up moisture.
4. Once the water has been drained, turn the drain tap (1) to “ “, to close the drain tap (1).
Storage
1. Avoid storing the tool in a location subject to high humidity. If the tool is left as it is used, the residual moisture inside the tool
can cause rust. Before storing and after operation, oil the tool and run it for a short time.
2. Regular inspection should be carried out of unit to ensure it is safe to operate.
