Attaching the MatJack Regulator for Air Bottle
- Inspect the Regulator and Air Bottle:
- Before attaching the regulator, inspect both the regulator and the air bottle for any signs of damage, such as dented surfaces, damaged gauge lenses, or bad threads.
- Connect the Regulator to the Air Bottle:
- Attach the regulator to the air bottle using the CLA 347 or DIN fitting. Ensure that the fitting is securely tightened to prevent any leaks.
- Loosen the Pressure Adjusting Handle:
- Loosen the pressure adjusting handle on the regulator to ensure that the initial pressure is set to zero.
- Connect the Regulator Hose:
- Connect the regulator hose quick disconnect fitting to the regulator. Ensure that the connection is secure and tight.
- Connect the Regulator Hose to the Control Valve:
- Attach the male nipple of the regulator hose to the inlet on the control valve. This connection allows the regulated air pressure to flow to the control valve.
- Connect the Cushion Supply Hose:
- Connect the cushion supply hose to the outlet of the control valve. This hose will carry the regulated air pressure to the air lifting cushions.
- Check for Leaks:
- After all connections are made, check for any leaks by slowly increasing the pressure and monitoring the connections. If any leaks are detected, tighten the fittings as necessary
