Before YOU Begin, First Stage Procedures

BEFORE YOU BEGIN:

Before you begin disassembly of the regulator, test the first and second stages for output pressures and leakage. Pretesting in this way will help you to pinpoint any specific areas requiring repair. Make sure your work area is clean and well lighted, with clean compressed air available to blow sand and dirt from parts.
