Adjustment
Warning
○
Regulator and filter regulator
(1)
Adjust the set pressure ensuring correct inlet and outlet pressures. Turning the knob
excessively can cause damage to the internal parts.
(2)
Do not use tools on the pressure regulator knob as this may cause damage. It must be
operated manually.
○
Lubricator
(1)
Adjustment of the oil regulating valve should be carried out manually. The use of tools etc. can
result in damage to the unit.
(2)
Turning the oil regulating valve counterclockwise increases the dripping amount, and turning it
clockwise reduces the dripping amount. From the fully closed position, three rotations will
bring it to the fully open position. Do not rotate it any further than this. Note that the numbered
scale markings are guidelines for adjusting the position, and not indicators of the dripping
amount.
Caution
○
Regulator and filter regulator
(1)
Check the inlet pressure before setting up.
(2)
Be sure to unlock the knob before adjusting the pressure and lock it after setting the pressure.
Failure to follow this procedure can cause damage to the knob and the outlet pressure may
fluctuate.
-
Pull the pressure regulator knob to unlock (You can visually verify this with the “orange mark”
that appears in the gap).
-
Push the pressure regulator knob to lock. When the knob is not easily locked, turn it left and
right a little and then push it (when the knob is locked, the “orange mark”, i.e., the gap will
disappear).
(3)
For the product with a pressure gauge, do not apply pressure exceeding the maximum scale
of the pressure gauge in order to protect the gauge.
(4)
Adjust the pressure whilst the pressure is increasing. Pressure may become lower than the
set pressure if adjusted by decreasing the value. Rotate the knob clockwise to increase the
set pressure. Counterclockwise to decrease the pressure. Moreover, please lock the knob
after setting pressure.
(5)
Outlet pressure may rise when the inlet pressure is discharged and resupplied after pressure
setting. In this case, consume air at the outlet which will bring the pressure closer to the set
pressure.
(6)
Outlet pressure may change if the product is used for a long period of time. Please confirm the
set pressure regularly.
