• Place the whole regulator (1st+ 2nd stage) on a 200 bar pressurized tank or on an
equally pressurized test-bed.
Slowly open the air tap while pressing the 2nd stage air discharge button Repeat some

times.
• Check the pressure on the gauge. The 1st stage AC10 is correctly set at a pressure
between 9 8 and 10 bar Should the value be different close the air tap and discharge

the regulator. Insert a 0,23” (6 mm) Allen wrench in the setting screw and screw
clockwise in order to increase the 1st stage intermediate pressure. When screwing
anticlockwise, the
ressure will decrease.
• Note: remember to unload the regulator before setting the intermediate pressure, in
order to avoid incorrect readings of the gauge.
• Check the intermediate pressure is quickly reached and remains so, without increasing,
after pressing the 2nd stage discharge button several times.
