how do i set the regulator pressure when i turn on the tank it shoots up to 50psi and when i turn the adjustment knob it wont drop

Close the tank valve off, pull the relief vent to relieve the pressure, open the valve on the tank back up about a 3/4 turn. The tank valve does not have to be wide open. Turn the pressure regulator valve counter clock wise to reduce the pressure to the tank. If need be, pull the relief valve and then slowly turn the pressure vale clockwise to increase the pressure to the tank. It may take a couple tries to get it dialed in.

My regulator is not marked other than "High Pressure Regulator" and the output is 1/2 PSI. My burner works well and am happy with the purchase. I use it every day. One note,..... when re-lighting it when it is still hot, it back fires out the bottom. So,..... I always just let it cool down if I have been using it.

The compressor has a regulator that allows you to control the output pressure between 0 and the max compressor pressure. If you look at the picture of the compressor it shows two guages, one is the tank pressure and the other is the regulated pressure. Hope this helps.

After you plug it in, press and hold the "SET" button for about 5 seconds, then you can use the up and down arrows to adjust the pressure.

I opened both valves and adjusted the screw up to a max of 55 psi. I believe that my regulator has been limited for safety reasons. It could be that yours has been limited to 75 psi.

It should be 2 psi below what your pump is rated for. If you have a pump that is 30-50, it will kick on at 30 PSI and shut off at 50 PSI so you would want the tank pressure to be 28 psi. If you have a 40-60 pump, you would want the tank to be 38 psi. Hope this helps.

In testing it, I set the regulated pressure to 80PSI. I don't know if this has any affect on the point at which it starts back up. But, it restarted at about 168PSI.

You may be beyond the low end of adjustment. 30 is the factory set low, there is adjustment to lower under the cover, but 18 psi may be too low for this pressure switch. you kmay need to use the 20=40 version with low pressure drop out. bob

I have an older Q200 (about 10 years old) that does this when I use the adapter to a 20lb tank. The regulator senses too much pressure when you open the valve too quickly and you only get a low flame. Close the valve and wait a minute for the regulator to reset. Open the valve very slowly until you get at least a full turn on the valve then you can open it all the way. Hope this helps.

i switched to a 20lb tank but had to adjust the screw on the heat setting dial. tear back the middle decal and there is an adjusting screw. otherwise the big tank has too much pressure and the burner doesn't function properly.

High and low pressure settings come pre set from the factory for a given range such as 20/40 or 40/60. That being said either of these pre set pressures can be adjusted by use of 2 pressure adjustment spring loaded screws. There is a limit to the adjustment so you should purchase a switch that is pre-set closest to the pressures needed or wanted for your system. Remember if your system has a bladder type expansion tank the air pressure will need to be reset in the bladder if you change the low pressure setting on your pressure switch. I hope this is beneficial.

It works great. With this regulator my pressure stays at 45 psi. I love it!

Probably need to get a tank with a better regulator Bob long guns are very particular.if you're shooting a bob long then you probably want to get a ninja tank with their Pro regulator

What size is your pressure tank? That could be part of the problem, smaller tanks sometimes fill quickly and cycle on and off more than larger tanks. Also usually the pressure switch is set for a 20psi differential not 30psi. You also may have a leak in the tank or the "empty"pressure is not set right. To set that empty the system and set the pressure 2psi less than the start up pressure. Hope some of this helps

Be sure you have it idling with the choke off first. Then depress the trigger slowly and continue holding it. If you release the trigger too soon or too quickly, it will quit running.

Don't tighten the nozzle all the way down. I screw on until I hear airflow into the tubing and I see the needle on the pressure gauge move. Then I turn one or two more times.

No problem. Also pressure regulator should be before tank if you need one. Put ours on this summer and love it. Yes it works.
