Ram Regulator 

The ram regulator controls the ram up and down pressure. To adjust the ram pressure:  

1.

 

Turn the Ram Regulator knob to the necessary pressure position as shown on the Ram 
Drive Pressure Gauge.  

2.

 

As you turn the Ram Regulator knob, the pressure will change slowly. Wait for the 
pressure to adjust. Do not exceed 90 psi (620 kPa).
