4. Tighten the charge
adapter cap (g6).
5. Turn the T-handle (g2)
clockwise. As the T-
handle is screwed in, a
resistance is
encountered. By turning
the T-handle, the
nitrogen gas pressure
will be indicated on the
pressure gauge (g8).
Stop turning the T-
handle when the gauge
reads pressure. Do not
overtighten!
6. Loosen the charge adapter
cap (g6) VERY SLOWLY!
The gas pressure will
gradually decrease to zero.
When it gets to zero, remove
the cap.
7. Remove the charge adapter (g1) from the gas charge valve on the hammer gas head
(L), then, reinstall the charge valve cap.
