Note. It is not recommended to use the plugged connection on top of PGC. Further information in warnings, presented on page 9. Normally: Check that the thumb nut of the stroke length setting is approx. 1 centime- ters from the lowermost position.
Operation (Pressure) Turn the fine adjustment valve counterclockwise until it is fully open. Approximately halfway, if you do not need to use the full pressure range of the pump. Pump to raise the pressure close to the next calibration point. Use the fine adjustment to raise the pressure to the calibration point.
Operation (Vacuum) Turn the fine adjustment valve clockwise until it is fully closed. Pump to lower the pressure close to the next calibration point. Use the fine adjust- ment to lower the pressure to the calibration point. Notes. After decreasing the pressure, the reading may slightly change for about 30 seconds.
TROUBLESHOOTING/MAINTENANCE If the pump assembly fails to indicate a pressure increase/decrease after considera- ble pumping action of the handle, check the following things: Assure that the connections between the pump, the hose end and the at- tached instrument(s) are tight and retry pumping. ...
