PILOT VALVE ADJUSTMENT
RESETTING DIFFERENTIAL (2)
Make sure the top toggle lever is positioned as shown. (See Figure 3).
Loosen locknut (1) by turning counterclockwise several full turns. Gently turn
differential setting (2) clockwise only until the internal rod makes contact with
the steel ball inside. After making contact, turn differential (2) counterclockwise
1/4 turn. Secure position by tightening locknut (1) and proceed to top end
setting.
TOP-END SETTING (4)
Loosen locknut (3) by turning counterclockwise several full turns. (4) is
the top end setting. Turning (4) clockwise will increase the top end pressure
setting. Turning counterclockwise will decrease the top end pressure setting.
Begin at a low setting by turning counterclockwise one full turn. Proceed to
fine tuning instructions.
FINE-TUNING INSTRUCTIONS
Start engine/motor and observe tank pressure gauge. As tank pressure approaches 100-130 P.S.I.G.,
the pilot valve should begin unloading at felt muffler and cause gas engine to slow down to idle speed. If
pilot valve does not unload as tank pressure approaches 130 P.S.I.G., slowly turn top end setting (4)
counterclockwise until pilot starts to unload prematurely (at 100 P.S.I.G.), turn top end setting (4) clockwise
in 1/4 turn increments, tap down on the internal rod at toggle attachment and repeat until desired top end
setting is reached. If pilot valve begins to rifle (sputter), fine tune differential setting (2) 1/16 turn in either
direction until rifling stops. After fine tuning, secure setting by turning locknuts (1 & 3) clockwise until tight.
Hold setting (2 & 4) in place while turning locknuts to secure.
