WARNING
To avoid unpredictable system behavior that can cause personal injury
and property damage:
• Disconnect electrical supply (when necessary) before installation,
servicing, or conversion.
• Disconnect air supply and depressurize all air lines connected to
this product before installation, servicing, or conversion.
• Operate within the manufacturer’s specified pressure, temperature,
and other conditions listed in these instructions.
• Medium must be moisture-free if ambient temperature is below
freezing.
• Service according to procedures listed in these instructions.
• Installation, service, and conversion of these products must be
performed by knowledgeable personnel who understand how
pneumatic products are to be applied.
• After installation, servicing, or conversion, air and electrical
supplies (when necessary) should be connected and the product
tested for proper function and leakage. If audible leakage is present,
or the product does not operate properly, do not put into use.
• Warnings and specifications on the product should not be covered
by paint, etc. If masking is not possible, contact your local
representative for replacement labels.

system options for further investigation by users having technical
expertise. It is important that you analyze all aspects of your application,
including consequences of any failure and review the information
concerning the product or systems in the current product catalog. Due
to the variety of operating conditions and applications for these products
or systems, the user, through its own analysis and testing, is solely
responsible for making the final selection of the products and systems
and assuring that all performance, safety and warning requirements
of the application are met.

Introduction
Follow these instructions when installing, operating, or servicing
the product.
Application Limits
These products are intended for use in general purpose
compressed air systems only.
Operating Pressure:
kPa PSIG bar
Maximum Inlet Pressure 2068 300 21.0
Operating Temperature Range: 4°C to 66°C (40°F to 150°F)
ANSI Symbols
Installation
1. The regulator should be installed with reasonable
accessibility for service whenever possible - repair service
kits are available. Keep pipe and tubing lengths to a
minimum with inside clean and free of dirt and chips. Pipe
joint compound should be used sparingly and applied only
to the male pipe - never into the female port. Do not use
PTFE tape to seal pipe joints - pieces have a tendency to
break off and lodge inside unit, possibly causing
malfunction.
2. Install regulator so that air flow is in the direction of arrow.
Installation must be upstream (high pressure) side and as
close to the devices it is to service (valve, cylinder, tool,
etc.) as possible. Mounting may be in any position.
3. Gauge ports are located on both sides of the regulator
body for your convenience. It is necessary to install a
gauge or pipe plugs into each port during installation.
4. For protection against rust, pipe scale, and other foreign
matter, install a filter on the upstream (high pressure) side
as close to the regulator as possible.
Operation
1. Before turning on the air supply:
1A. On PR364, disengage the adjusting knob by pulling upward.
Turn adjusting knob counterclockwise until the compression
is released from the pressure control spring.
1B. On PR10, push down on the adjusting knob while turning
knob counterclockwise until the compression is released
from the pressure control spring. (Knob is locked when
up.)
2. Then turn on air supply and adjust regulator to desired
secondary pressure by turning adjusting knob clockwise.
This permits pressure to build up slowly, preventing any
unexpected operation of the valve, cylinders, tools, etc.,
attached to the line. Adjustment to desired secondary
pressure can be made only with primary pressure applied
to the regulator.
3. To decrease regulator pressure setting, always reset from
a pressure lower than the final setting desired. For example,
lowering the secondary pressure from 550 to 410 kPa (80
to 60 psig) is best accomplished by dropping the secondary
pressure to 350 kPa (50 psig), then adjusting upward to
410 kPa (60 psig).

WARNING
Product rupture can cause serious injury.
Do not connect regulator to bottled gas.
Do not exceed maximum primary pressure rating.

Service
!
CAUTION:
SHUT OFF AIR SUPPLY and exhaust the primary and
secondary pressure before disassembling regulator unit.
(Turning the knob counterclockwise reduces regulator’s
setting, but does not vent downstream pressure on non-
relieving regulators.)
!
CAUTION:
Lubricate parts with a mineral based grease / oil or silicone
grease. DO NOT use synthetic grease / oils such as esters.
A. Servicing the Bonnet and Diaphragm Assembly-
1A. On PR364, disengage the adjusting knob by pulling upward.
Turn adjusting knob counterclockwise until the compression
is released from the pressure control spring.
1B. On PR10, push down on the adjusting knob while turning
knob counterclockwise until the compression is released
from the pressure control spring. (Knob is locked when
up.)
2. Unscrew the threaded bonnet assembly. Next, disassemble,
clean, and carefully inspect parts for wear and/or damage.
If replacement is necessary, use parts from service kits.
3. Install diaphragm assembly into body. Then install bonnet
assembly to body. See Figure 1 for torque value.
B. Servicing the Poppet Assembly-
1. Exhaust system air pressure as previously described. Then
remove bottom cap by unscrewing it from body. Next,
remove cap and o-ring, spring and poppet assembly.
2.
Next, clean, and carefully inspect parts for wear and/or
damage. If replacement is necessary, use parts from
service kits.

3. Lubricate o-ring and sliding surfaces using grease supplied
with service kit.
4. Lubricate cap’s o-ring and install it in o-ring groove on cap.
Then screw cap into body until the cap bottoms out in
body. See Figure 1 for torque value.
5. Turn on air supply and adjust to desired secondary pressure
as described in the Operation section.
Turn on air pressure and check regulator for leakage. If leakage
occurs, DO NOT OPERATE — conduct repairs again.
If you have questions concerning how to service this unit, contact
your local authorized dealer or your customer service
representative.
