Purge the air from the regulator by repeating the following
procedure 5 times:
a Fully close the regulator knob, then open the main tank
valve.
b Turn the regulator knob fully counter-clockwise to open
the tank main valve, pressurizing the primary side of the
regulator.
c Turn OFF the tank main valve.
