pressure.

Regumstor:The air pressure coming from the air tank is controlled by the regulator knob. Turn the knob clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to decrease pressure. To avoid minor readjustment after

making a change in pressure setting, always approach the desired pressure from a lower pressure. When

reducing from a higher to a !ower setting, first reduce to some pressure tess than that desired, then bring up to

the desired pressure. Depending on the air requirements of each particular accessory, the outlet regulated air

pressure might have to be adjusted while you are operating the accessory.

Tank Pressure Gauge: The tank pressure gauge indi- cates the reserve air pressure in the tank.

Outlet Pressure Gauge: The outtet pressure gauge indicates the air pressure available at the outlet side of the regulator. This pressure is controfled by the regulator and is always less or equal to the tank pressure. See "Operating Procedures."

1.Insert the open end of the handle under the saddle (Fig. t). Before attaching handle, you may have to pull the open ends of the handle apart so they fit tightly against the side of the saddle. Looking in from the open end of the saddle, position the handle towards the two bent tabs, on the inside waits of the saddle. S!owly push the open ends of the handle onto both tabs at the same

time (Fig. 2). Continue pushing the handle into the sad- dle until the holes on the side of the saddle and handle are in line.

2.Guide the straight end of each retaining clip through the saddle hole and both handle holes (Fig. 3).

3.Rotate each retaining clip clockwise and press down until it snaps into place over the putI handle (Fig. 4).

4.If the handle has excessive movement, it is improperly installed. Check the following:

A.Are both tabs inside the handle (Step #1)?

B.Does each clip pass through both the saddle and handle (Step #2)?
