4500 PSI AIR TANK REGULATOR

FS-4.5K 4500 PSI AIR TANK REGULATOR

INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of this regulator by First Strike®. You have just made the best possible choice in primary air system regulation. The regulator offers innovative technology that provides peak performance in the smallest, lightest, most efficient regulator available. Caution: As with any high pressure air system, the potential for danger is present. Read the entire owners manual and familiarize yourself with the regulator and safety precautions prior to using your regulator. Warning: Always remove all the air from the system (bottle) prior to attempting any repairs. Failure to do so can cause damage or Death. FS-4.5K REGULATOR UNIQUE DESIGN FEATURES: • Patent Pending Pro-Series Safety Assembly - The only safety with a safety. Exclusive flush burst disc design that reduces the traditional burst disc profile with added positive directional vent discharging technology that allows venting prior to coming loose from the regulator. • Tri-Safe Technology - External High Side, External Low Side, and the u nique Internal Low Side safety bleed that allows venting of pressure from behind the gauge. • Removable Poppet Retainment Flange - Vents all residual pressure trapped in the “low pressure” side of the prior to disengagement.

• Adjustable Position of Gauge and Fill Nipple - Insert 3/16 allen key into top flange to loosen and rotate brass threaded collar to desired position. INSTALLATION Only install your regulator into an appropriate tank. The pressure rating of both the regulator and the cylinder must be the same. The 3000 PSI regulator can only be installed on a 3000 PSI rated bottle. The 4500 PSI regulator can only be installed on a 4500 PSI bottle. The FS-4.5K regulator is marked as such next to the fill nipple. Always follow the guidelines for cylinder use set forth by the DOT, TC, or PI depending on where you reside. The installation of your regulator should only be performed by a qualified air smith experienced in the use of high pressure air systems and the safety precautions associated with them. 1. Carefully thread the regulator into the tank in a clockwise rotation making sure that the o-ring is properly seated in the cylinder gland until “hand tight”. Take care to notice any resistance during installation. If installer is met with any resistance STOP the install IMMEDIATELY. Remove regulator and inspect the regulator threads and tank threads for foreign material or damage. If damage is evident, repair or replace the damaged unit. 2. Once the regulator is “hand tight”, using the appropriate tools, torque the regulator into the tank to 25-35 ft. lbs. to snug the regulator into its final position. DO NOT exceed 40 ft. lbs., damage to the regulator will result if excessive force is used. ASTM specification F2653-07 states that the regulator should have a minimum break away torque of 18 ft. lbs. MAINTENANCE Your First Strike® regulator should provide you with a lifetime of enjoyment and reliable service. Any mechanical device requires a small amount of routine maintenance to prevent failure and to keep the unit running at peak performance. Your First Strike® regulator is designed with the minimum amount of maintenance required. Prior to installing your regulator onto your marker or in your ASA for the first time, we suggest you lubricate the regulator threads and o-ring located at the top of the regulator. Depending on the conditions in which you play,

it may be necessary to periodically clean and lubricate your regulator. Periodic cleaning is important, since it will remove any dirt or debris. The accumulation of dirt and debris can cause damage to your regulator and possibly your marker. First Strike® recommends the use of GUERRILLA LUBE or equivalent lightweight synthetic lubricant. WARNING NEVER use a petroleum based lubricant with your regulator/ air system. Any lubricants used on your regulator should be compatible with the anodized finish and with polyurethane o-rings. DO NOT use any caustic agents to clean any portion of the regulator. Severe damage can occur from the introduction of such agents. Warm soapy water is the only cleaning solutions First Strike® suggests. Installing the incorrect regulator on the incorrect bottle may lead to injury or death. NEVER inject oil into the regulator or allow oil to enter the bottle. Oil will ignite which may lead to injury or death PRECAUTIONS Never use your system if there is a leak of any kind. Take your regulator to a certified repair technician immediately for inspection and service. Failure to do so can result in serious damage to the regulator or bodily injury. Never use…
