WARNING
To avoid unpredictable system behavior that can cause personal injury
and property damage:
• Disconnect electrical supply (when necessary) before installation,
servicing, or conversion.
• Disconnect air supply and depressurize all air lines connected to this
product before installation, servicing, or conversion.
• Operate within the manufacturer's specified pressure, temperature,
and other conditions listed in these instructions.
• Medium must be moisture-free if ambient temperature is below
freezing.
• Service according to procedures listed in these instructions.
• Installation, service, and conversion of these products must be
performed by knowledgeable personnel who understand how
pneumatic products are to be applied.
• After installation, servicing, or conversion, air and electrical supplies
(when necessary) should be connected and the product tested for
proper function and leakage. If audible leakage is present, or the
product does not operate properly, do not put into use.
• Warnings and specifications on the product should not be covered by
paint, etc. If masking is not possible, contact your local representative
for replacement labels.
WARNING
!
Product rupture can cause serious injury.

Installation
1. The Regulator should be installed with reasonable accessibility for
service whenever possible – repair service kits are available. Keep
pipe or tubing lengths to a minimum with inside clean and free of
dirt and chips. Pipe joint compound should be used sparingly and
applied only to the male pipe – never into the female port. Do not
use PTFE tape to seal pipe joints – pieces have a tendency to
break off and lodge inside the unit, possibly causing malfunction.
Also, new pipe or hose should be installed between the Filter /
Regulator and equipment being protected.

2. The upstream pipe work must be clear of accumulated dirt and
liquids.
3. Select a Regulator location as close as possible to the equipment
being protected.
4. Install Regulator so that air flows into port labelled "IN" on body.
5. Gauge ports are located on both sides of the Regulator body for
your convenience. It is necessary to install a gauge or socket pipe
plugs into each port during installation.
Operation
1. Before turning on the air supply, engage the R10 Adjusting
Knob by pushing down. Turn R10 Adjusting Knob or R11
T-handle counterclockwise until the compression is released from
the Pressure Control Spring.
2. Then turn R10 Knob or R11 T-handle clockwise and adjust
regulator to desired downstream pressure. This permits pressure
to build up slowly in the downstream line.
3. To decrease regulated pressure settings, always reset from a
pressure lower than the final setting required. Example, lowering
the secondary pressure from 550 to 410 kPa (80 to 60 PSIG) is
best accomplished by dropping the secondary pressure to 350
kPa (50 PSIG), then adjusting upward to 410 kPa (60 PSIG).
4. When desired secondary pressure setting has been reached, pull
the R10 Knob up or tighten the R11 Lock Nut to lock this pressure
setting.
Maintenance
To clean regulator, it is not necessary to remove the unit from the
airline. Use a filter in line prior to the regulator to keep the air supply
clean. If using compressed air to blow dry, be sure to wear appropriate
eye protection. Wipe parts clean with soapy water or denatured
alcohol. Torque Spring Cage and Bottom Plug before using.
Caution: Never use solvents like carbon tetrachloride,
!
acetone or thinner to clean parts.
