STEP 6
Opening Speed Flow Control Adjustment: The Opening speed
needle valve restricts flow out of the cover of the main valve.
If recovery of pressure is slow upon increased downstream de-
mand, turn the adjustment screw OUT, counterclockwise, increas-
ing the rate of opening (See Figure 4B).
If recovery of downstream pressure is too quick, as indicated in a
rapid increase in pressure, possibly higher than the desired set-
point, turn the adjustment screw IN, clockwise, decreasing the
rate of opening (See Figure 4A).

STEP 4
Slowly open the downstream isolation valve.
STEP 5
If the valve remains closed as indicated by the stem position in the
position indicator (See Figure 2) and the tank level is known to be
below the desired level, SLOWLY turn the adjustment screw IN,
clockwise, by ¼ to ½ turn increments (See Figure 3).
This will cause the valve to start opening, filling the tank. Additional
clockwise adjustment may be necessary to raise the level to the
overflow line.
