ATTACHING INCOMING AIR
For maximum leak-free performance, air inlet valve is made of solid brass. Brass is a soft metal and overtightening
or rough handling can cause damage or breakage. Use care when working with air inlet valve. For a tight, leak-free
connection, follow all instructions carefully.
Option 1
Wrap incoming hose end with thread sealing tape. AIR INLET VALVE CANNOT ROTATE, do not attempt to turn. To
prevent rotation, hold air inlet valve with wrench to stabilize it while connecting air hose. Thread air hose into air inlet
valve. Using second opposing wrench, tighten connection just until snug.
Option 2
Locate included 90˚ connector. Wrap threaded end with thread sealing tape. AIR INLET VALVE CANNOT ROTATE,
do not attempt to turn. To prevent rotation, hold air inlet valve with wrench to stabilize it while connecting air hose.
Thread 90˚ connector into air inlet valve. Using second opposing wrench, tighten connection just until snug. Next,
wrap incoming hose end with thread sealing tape. Thread into swivel end of 90˚ connector. Using two opposing
wrenches, tighten connection just until snug.
To ensure optimum performance and efficiency, check all connections for leaks. With air system
pressurized, brush each connection with soapy water. Inspect closely. Air bubbles indicate leaking air.
Tighten any leaking fittings.
