provided in a bag tied to the valve on the front panel.

from the manifold.
•
Place a fitting in the plug opening and connect a manometer.
•
For Natural gas the pressure in the manifold should be 5" water column or
12.4 millibar. For LP the pressure in the manifold should be 10" water Column of
24.9 millibar.
•
To adjust the pressure remove the brass cap and turn the white plastic part inside the stem of the regulator.
See picture regulator 8.
•
Take a wide straight screw driver and place it in the two notches shown in picture regulator 7 turn clockwise
