SET PRESSURE
Make sure the hoses are
free of any defects. The
couplers are on pump
and the tool should be
securely connected.
Place tool on at surface.
Turn pump on. Cycle the
tool. Press the “ON’ but-
ton on the remote, hold
until tool clicks. Release,
wait for the tool to click.
Repeat the cycle. Ensure
there is no leak.

Use the torque conver-
sion chart to set the psi
for the torque you need.
Press the remote’s “ON”
button and slowly turn
the pressure regulator
clockwise to reach the
right pressure.
