Connect 

NOTE:

When taking readings the manometer must always hang vertically from its hook. This is to ensure that the correct values are obtained. Set the three-way junction handle to the middle position.

Screw out the adjustment screw for the pressure regulator completely.

Connect compressed air to pressure regulator.

Screw in the adjustment screw for the pressure regulator so that the manometer displays the value applicable to the relevant engine, according to the chart below.

The three-way junction connector has a vent (drilled hole) where it connects to the pressure regulator to facilitate setting the correct pressure.
