Repair Procedures
B. Regulator Kit
Disconnect electrical and compressed air service.
First follow "Handle Disassembly Instructions" then remove the
two large Phillips head screws to the rear of the wire terminals
on the right-hand side of the handle. This allows the regulator
assembly to swing free, connected only by the hose going
from the brass rear of the regulator to the loading chamber
assembly, and the main hose assembly. Remove the main hose
by unscrewing the elbow fitting from the regulator. Use a 5/16"
(8 mm) wrench to remove the loading chamber hose from
the regulator. Reassemble with a new regulator using reverse
procedure. Be sure hose fittings are quite snug. Check for air
leaks by activating the regulator. Once this is done, reassemble
the handle and heat shield.
