Pressurizing from an external pressure source
To pressurize the pedestal from an external pressure source, proceed as follows:
Set the safety catch slide
to ON (I) and fully depress the moving column
until the
safety catch engages.
Remove the Schrader valve cap
and connect the charging line from the pressure
source.
Turn on the pressure supply and slowly increase the pedestal pressure to the required pres-
sure. Do not exceed the maximum working pressure, indicated by the leading edge of the
red sector on the gauge
Disconnect the charging line, but do not refit the Schrader valve cap at this stage.
WARNING! This pedestal must be pressurized only with clean, dry air or
nitrogen. A pressure reducing valve must be fitted to the pres-
sure line between the gas cylinder and the outlet connection of
the hose. The reducing valve must be screwed into the gas cyl-
inder outlet. The maximum pressure on the outlet side of the
reducing valve must not exceed 13.8 bar (200 psi). Do not pres-
surize the pedestal beyond the maximum safe working pressure
indicated by the leading edge of the red sector on the gauge.
The pedestal is fitted with a pressure relief valve as a safeguard
against over-pressurization.
Do not attempt to adjust the pressure relief valve.
