MAINTENANCE
Using a dry Q-tip, clean the seal that sits at the top of the body of the
bottom section of the Inline regulator (SEE FIGURE 5.11). Using a light oil and
a fresh Q-tip, re-lubricate the seal ready for re-assembly.
Thoroughly clean the two o-
rings on the adjuster screw
and lubricate ready for re-
assembly (SEE FIGURE 5.12).
Inspect top face of adjuster
unit for any excessive wear or
damage as this could cause
inline regulator to creep (SEE
FIGURE 5.13).
Note: The sealing face on the inline
regulator piston can also cause the
regulator to creep or “supercharge”,
so this should also be checked.
With the threaded section towards
to the base of the regulator body,
re-insert the adjuster screw into the
bottom half of the regulator body (SEE
FIGURE 5.14). Apply light pressure to the top of the adjuster screw and using
a 1/8th" hex key wind the adjuster screw counter clockwise until it stops
at the base of the regulator body. Turn the adjuster screw five turns in a
clockwise direction to set the inline regulator pressure at approximately
200 psi.
Next take the piston and spring and clean the o-ring at the end of the
piston, re-lubricating it with a light smear of Vaseline ready for re-assembly
(SEE FIGURE 5.15). Insert the piston and spring into the top half of the inline
regulator body (SEE FIGURE 5.16).
Keeping the top half of the inline regulator upside down, screw the two
halves of the inline regulator together (SEE FIGURE 5.17).
You have now stripped, cleaned, lubricated and assembled your inline
regulator.
