Item 58468
Installation Instructions
Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this document
including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.
1. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles.
To clean the shielding gas cylinder’s valve,
keep your face and ears away from the valve
then open it slightly and immediately close it.
This is called “cracking” the valve. It clears
the valve of dust before connection.
Note:
Do not use thread seal tape or compound
on the fittings on this Regulator. They will
weaken any connection they are used on.
2. Connect the Regulator to the shielding gas cylinder’s
valve and wrench tighten the connection.
3. Back the Knob on the Regulator
off fully to prevent flow.
4. Connect the gas line from the outlet of
the Regulator to your welding equipment.
Wrench tighten all connections.
Operation Instructions
Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this document
including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.
1. Check that the gas line and welding system are
completely set up and all connections are tight.
2. Check that the Regulator is securely fastened
to the shielding gas cylinder and the Knob
on the Regulator is backed off fully.
3. Open the valve on the shielding gas cylinder
slightly until the cylinder pressure gauge
stops moving, then open it fully.
4. Close the gas valve on the welder. Check all
pressurized connections for leaks using soapy water.
Tighten or replace leaking connections as needed.
5. Open all gas valves that are
downstream from the Regulator.
6. Slowly tighten the Knob on the Regulator
while keeping an eye on the Flow Gauge until
it indicates the desired SCFH flow rate.
7. Close valve on welder until ready to start welding.
8. After use, close cylinder valve fully and open all
valves downstream from the Regulator to release all
pressure on it. Back off the Knob on the Regulator
until it is just loose and then tighten it back down
1 turn to prevent damage to the valve seat.
