dispensing hose to the threaded port
of the cylinder valve. Once it is
seated properly, tighten securely
using an open-end wrench
(supplied). Verify that the on/off valve
is attached to the dispensing hose
and is in the off position.
Attach either end of the threaded
wand to the dispensing hose on/off
valve. Tighten securely. Attach the
coupler to the exposed end of the
wand. Attach the second plastic
wand to the coupler. Tighten
securely.
Slowly open the valve at the top of
the cylinder 1/2 to 1 revolution. Open
further if higher velocity is desired.
Check for leaks. If there are no leaks,
INSTA STIK
™ Quik Set is ready for use.
