Note that the legs of the lever must be properly aligned and
in the same plane for the lever to work correctly.
11) To bend the lever down, place the disk end of the
KMDSI 1/4 " wrench onto the flat area of the adjust-
ment tube within the regulator, sliding the disk as far
as possible under the lever. With your finger, slightly
bend the lever down over the disk to the desired
height. Be careful not to bend the lever too far! Bend
it slightly then check it.
12) Replace the diaphragm and the cover. Test the
purge button. Continue until proper tolerances are
reached.
7.8.10.1 Important Notes on Regulator Ad-
justment
1) If a new inlet valve or soft seat has been installed, al-
low the regulator to sit for 24 hours with the adjustment
knob turned in all the way with the rubber seat and the
nipple making contact before adjusting. This will allow
the soft seat in the inlet valve stem to take a set against
the inlet nipple.
If the regulator is to be used immediately, be aware that
the rubber seat will take a set, changing the adjustment
and the regulator's performance. This will require the
readjustment of the regulator after the first day of use.
2) Normally, if the regulator free flows, the nut is too tight,
and must be loosened until the lever has between 1/16"
to 1/8" (1.5-3.0 mm) of free play at the end.
3) If the regulator continues to free flow after proper
adjustment has been made, ensuring a correct supply
pressure of 135-150 p.s.i.g. (9.3-10.1bar) both the inlet
valve soft seat and/or the inlet nipple must be inspected
for damage. Generally, if the inlet nipple has missing
chrome or a bent or damaged sealing edge, the soft seat
may not make a proper seal and may also be damaged.
Best practice requires replacement of both the inlet nipple
and the soft seat.

CAUTION
The legs of the lever must be properly
aligned in the same plane. If one leg is
up and the other is down, the regulator
will not perform properly.
