Note: After the outside plug on the bottom
of the regulator has been removed, you will
notice a color coded plunger on the inside of
the regulator. This is normal. When the inlet
connection fitting is inserted and tightened,
this plunger will be pushed back by the fit-
ting making all of the adjustments to the gas
being supplied.
4. Apply thread sealant to the threads on
the connection fitting. While pushing in,
rotate the fitting clockwise until the threads
engage the regulator. After the fitting has
been hand tightened into the regulator
use a wrench to complete tightening of
the fitting.
