7.2 Adjustment 

Read again 6.1 Diagram of piping example and 7.1 Warning and precaution on operation. 

 

 

7.2.1 Pressure setting is not preset (the user does not require pressure presetting) 

   

(1) Verify that stop valves V

1

, V

2

 and V

3

 are closed. 

 

    (2)  Adjust  the  stop  valve  V

3

  on  the  bypass  pipe  to  an  opening  so  that  the  primary  pressure 

regulating valve (or safety valve) will not be activated. Keeping the regulating (safety) valve 

inactive,  allow  the  fluid  to  pass  through  the  piping  to  discharge  foreign  objects.  After 

completely expelling foreign objects, be sure to close the bypass stop valve V

3

    

(3)  Remove  the  cap 

35

  and  loosen  the  lock  nut 

33

.

  Rotate  the  adjusting  screw

 

34

 

(holding 

across flat) CCW until the spring

 

29

  becomes free from the load. 

        (4)  Fine  tune  the  opening  of  the  stop  valve  V

2

  so  that  minimum  amount  of  fluid  is  allowed  to 

flow. 

        (5) Gradually open the inlet side stop valve V

1

        (6)  Observing  the  outlet  pressure  gauge,  gradually  adjust  the  adjusting  screw

 

34

 

(holding   

across  flat)  to  obtain  the  desired  pressure.  (To  increase  the  pressure,  turn  the  screw 

clockwise; to reduce the pressure, counterclockwise.) 

        (7) Gradually open the stop valve V

2

 and readjust outlet pressure to obtain the desired value. 

        (8) After completing the adjustment, tighten the lock nut 

33

 

and fit the cap

 are closed. 

 

    (2)  Adjust  the  stop  valve  V

3

  on  the  bypass  line  to  an  opening  so  that  the  primary  pressure 

regulating valve (or safety valve) will not be activated. Keeping the regulating (safety) valve 

inactive, allow the fluid to pass through the piping to blow out foreign objects.   

After completely expelling foreign objects, be sure to close the bypass stop valve V

3

        (3) Adjust the opening of the stop valve V

 so that minimum amount of fluid is allowed to flow. 

        (4) Observing the outlet pressure gauge, gradually increase the opening of the stop valve V

1

 at 

the inlet. 

        (5) Gradually increase the opening of the stop valve V

2

        (6) If the reduced pressure is outside the desired value, remove the cap

 

35

 

and loosen the lock 

nut

 

33

Observing the outlet pressure gauge, gradually turn the adjusting screw

(holding 

across  flat)  to  obtain  the  desired  pressure.  (To  increase  the  pressure,  turn  the  screw 

clockwise; to reduce the pressure, counterclockwise.)
