PILOT VALVE ADJUSTMENT
RESETTING DIFFERENTIAL (2)
Make sure the top toggle lever is positioned as shown. (See Figure 3). Loosen
locknut (1) by turning counterclockwise several full turns. Gently turn differential setting (2)
clockwise only until the internal rod makes contact with the steel ball inside. After making
contact, turn differential (2) counterclockwise 1/4 turn. Secure position by tightening locknut
(1) and proceed to top end setting.
TOP-END SETTING (4)
Loosen locknut (3) by turning counterclockwise several full turns. (4) is the top end
setting. Turning (4) clockwise will increase the top end pressure setting. Turning
counterclockwise will decrease the top end pressure setting. Begin at a low setting by
turning counterclockwise one full turn. Proceed to fine tuning instructions.
FINE-TUNING INSTRUCTIONS
Start engine/motor and observe tank pressure gauge. As tank pressure approaches
100-130 P.S.I.G., the pilot valve should begin unloading at felt muffler and cause gas engine
to slow down to idle speed. If pilot valve does not unload as tank pressure approaches 130
P.S.I.G., slowly turn top end setting (4) counterclockwise until pilot starts to unload
prematurely (at 100 P.S.I.G.), turn top end setting (4) clockwise in 1/4 turn increments, tap
down on the internal rod at toggle attachment and repeat until desired top end setting is
reached. If pilot valve begins to rifle (sputter), fine tune differential setting (2) 1/16 turn in
either direction until rifling stops. After fine tuning, secure setting by turning locknuts (1 & 3)
clockwise until tight. Hold setting (2 & 4) in place while turning locknuts to secure.
