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.
Introduction
Follow these instructions when installing, operating, or servicing the product.

Installation
1. This unit should be installed with reasonable accessibility for service
whenever possible - repair service kits are available. Keep pipe and
tubing lengths to a minimum with inside clean and free of dirt and
chips. Pipe joint compounds 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.
2. Install unit so that air flow is in the direction of arrow. Installation
must be upstream of and close to devices it is to service (valve,
cylinder, tool etc.). Mounting of regulators may be in any position;
mounting of filter/regulators must be vertical as shown in figure.
3. Gauge ports are located on both sides of the regulator body for your
convenience. It is necessary to install a gauge or pipe plug into
each port during installation.
4. To protect regulator units against rust, pipe scale, and other foreign
matter, install a filter on the upstream (high pressure) side as close
to the regulator as possible.

Operation of Regulator
1. Before turning on air supply, turn adjusting handle counterclockwise
until compression is released from control spring. Then turn on air
supply and adjust regulator to desired secondary pressure by turning
adjusting handle clockwise. This permits pressure to build up slowly,
preventing any unexpected operation of the valve, cylinders, tools,
etc., attached to the line. Adjustment to desired secondary pressure
can be made only with primary pressure applied to the regulator.
2. To decrease regulator pressure setting, always reset from a pressure
lower than the final setting desired. For 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).
Operation of Filter / Regulator
1. Both free moisture and solids are removed automatically by the
Filter / Regulator.
2. Manual drain filters must be drained regularly before the separated
moisture and oil reaches the bottom of the element holder. Automatic
drain models (pulse drain) will collect and dump liquids automatically.
They are actuated when a pressure drop occurs within the filter.
3. The filter element should be removed and replaced when the pressure
differential across the filter is excessive.
Service
Caution: SHUT OFF AIR SUPPLY and exhaust the primary and
!
secondary pressure before disassembling unit. (Units may be
serviced without removing them from the air line.)
Servicing Regulator:
Note: See Figure 1, 2, & 3 to aid with this procedure.
1. Unlock the adjusting knob by pulling upward (with the unit in an
upright position.) Then turn adjusting knob counterclockwise until
compression of the control spring has been removed.
2. Remove the bonnet from body. Then remove o-ring (7), piston, lip
seal (9), and control spring to service the bonnet subassembly.
Unscrew seat (8) to service the poppet (17), return spring (5), and /
or poppet seal (6).
Note: On filter / regulator units, the poppet assembly & poppet return
spring may be accessed by removing filter element.
3. Clean old grease from unit and inspect seals for sign of wear (nicks,
cuts, and scratches). Repair kits are available which contain the
parts which are typically replaced.
4. Apply a light film of grease to all seals and sliding surfaces using the
grease packet supplied with repair kit.
