Before you can begin to use your Etek Ego, there are a few necessary
components that are required to enable the Etek Ego to function; namely an
air system and a loader of your choice.
iNsTalliNg a prEsET
air sysTEm
Every Etek Ego comes complete with an Eclipse On/Off Purge System
(OOPS)allowingapresetregulatorandtanktobescrewedstraightinfor
immediate use. Before screwing the preset into the OOPS ensure that the
On/Off knob is wound out approximately half way [sEE figurE 3.1].
Be careful not to unscrew the On/Off knob too far as it will come completely
out of the OOPS. If this happens, replace the On/Off knob by screwing it
back into the OOPS body in a clockwise direction.
Screw the preset air system into the OOPS System [sEE figurE 3.2] so
that the bottle screws in all the way and is tight. Slowly turn the On/Off knob
in a clockwise direction allowing the
On/Off knob System to depress the pin
of the preset air system causing the Etek
Ego to become pressurized, providing
that there is sufcient air in your tank
[sEE figurE 3.3].
You have now installed a preset air
system onto your Etek Ego.
