Setting the Altitude Controls

STEP 1

Pre-set pilots as noted:

Altitude Control

 – Adjust OUT, counterclockwise, backing pressure off the spring. This simulates a low tank setting which can be grad-

ually increased to the desired setting.

Opening and Closing Speed

 – Turn the adjustment screws on the Closing Speed and Opening Speed Controls, if the main valve is so 

equipped, OUT, counterclockwise, 1½ to 2½ turns from full closed position.

STEP 2

To ensure proper operation, any trapped air will need to be bled off 
the valve cover during startup. The ACV includes a bleed valve, use 
a flat head screwdriver to slowly open the valve (See Figure 1).

STEP 3

Pressure the line, by opening the upstream isolation valve slowly. Air 
is vented through the air bleed valve. Tighten the fitting when liquid 
begins to vent (See Figure 1).

Repeat the process until no air is trapped in the system.
