Note
: Attach the Octo-Z Inflator Hose to a properly adjusted first stage that it is going to be used with, mount-
ed on an air tank filled to between 2700 and 3500 psi. Install an intermediate pressure gauge into one of the
low-pressure ports.
NEVER
tighten the inflator hose to the 1st stage with more than 40 in. lbs. (4.5 Nm) of
torque. The inlet hose fitting can be weakened by over tightening.
7.2.2 Carefully turn the air on. Because you did not take apart the Lever Assembly or turn the Nut (18) at the
end of the Poppet Stem, you do not have to do any adjusting to the Poppet Nut. All of the adjusting will be
done by turning the Seat (14) with a 3/16” Hex Wrench. (See Photo 44). A properly adjusted Octo-Z will have
about 1/16” to 1/8” (1.6 - 3.2 mm) of free play at the end of the lever when the regulator is pressurized. (See
Photo 45) There should be no air leaking from the Octo-Z Lever Assembly with proper intermediate pressure
applied to the hose.
