Maintenance 

1. 

Line Pressure Adjustment:

 

(Green Band 

for Model Using Mobile “E” Stand): Locate 
appropriate PRESSURE REGULATOR (blue 
lettering – nitrous oxide; green lettering – 
oxygen); remove 9/16” acorn nut; insert 5/32” 
hex socket key and adjust pressure to within 
green band. 

2. 

Mixture Pressure Control Adjustment: 

(Green Band): Remove LOWER CHROME 
PLUG from case back. With wrench, loosen 
7/16 inch hex nut (counterclockwise) 
approximately one quarter turn. Insert 
screwdriver through access hole, in bottom of 
case, into slot of adjusting screw. While holding 
nut with wrench, adjust counterclockwise to 
increase pressure – clockwise to decrease. 
After adjustment, tighten nut while holding 
screw in position with screwdriver (see 
illustration Fig. 24). 

 

3. 

Leak Test System –

 

Monthly Check of 

working pressure leaks.  Verify hoses are 
attached from E-Stand to Nitronox Housing. 
Turn one O

2

 and one N

2

O cylinder on. Verify E-

Stand pressure gauges read cylinder 
pressures. Verify Nitronox line pressure gauges 
read within green band. Note: fail safe is open 
and pressure reaches Demand Valve. Turn off 
N

2

O cylinder valve. Verify that N

2

O E-Stand 

gauge reads about 750 psi (50 bar).  Note exact 
needle position.  Verify that there is little or no 
movement [up to ½ increment] of the exact 
needle position in 15 minutes.  Nitronox N

2

line pressure gauge needle will stay in green 
band with no movement.  Turn off O

2

 cylinder 

valve. It is normal that needle of O

2

 E-Stand 

gauge will drop.  Nitronox O

2

 line pressure 

gauge needle will stay in green band with no 
movement (will eventually drop after E-Stand 
gauge pressure naturally depletes).   

 

 

4. 

Whistle Alarm Actuator Adjustment: 

Remove UPPER CHROME PLUG from case 
back (Fig. 25). With mixture pressure 
temporarily adjusted (per Step 2, 
“Maintenance”) in middle of range shown (Fig. 
26), insert 1/8” hex key (not provided) into 
adjustment screw at end of ALARM 
ACTUATOR. Adjust screw either clockwise or 
counterclockwise until whistle sounds clearly. 
DO NOT over adjust. Return mixture pressure 
to middle of green band. Whistle sound must 
stop with pressure in green band and whistle 
must sound with pressure in range shown in 
Fig. 26 (about 40 psi [2.8 bar]). If this cannot be 
achieved, discontinue use of apparatus and 
notify authorized distributor immediately.
