NOTE -
* YOU MUST HAVE A PRESSURE GUAGE INSTALLED IN ORDER TO ADJUST PRESSURE*
- TO ADJUST PRESSURE - Turn Adjustment Screw CLOCKWISE to INCREASE Pressure / Turn COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to DECREASE Pressure
- Route Port A of Valve to Top Port on Cylinder, and Port B of Valve to Bottom Port on Cylinder in order to have the ram engage when toe on foot pedal is pressed down. The handle will engage the ram when pressed toward ceiling, and will retract the ram when handle is pulled down.
