The following steps are provided as a procedure to adjust valve packing:
1. Remove all pressure from device.
2. Loosen manifold valve jam nut.
3. Tighten manifold valve packing adjuster nut

6. Above steps can be repeated, if necessary.
If the above procedure does not result in proper pressure retention, the complete manifold should be
replaced.
