5. Screw the orifice housing onto the threads of the lever assembly. With a 13/16” wrench on
the orifice housing and a Sherwood modified 3/4” deep socket (clamped in a vise) on the hex
of the lever support inside the case, tighten the orifice housing and the lever assembly
together snugly (70 in. lbs. / 8 Nm).

5.4 SET- UP OF SECOND STAGE
For the following adjustments, remove the cover and diaphragm.
1. Install Sherwood’s in-line adjusting tool (p/n TL102) between the orifice housing and the
hose assembly . Use the tool to screw the adjustable orifice clockwise. Watch the end
of the lever as you do this. As soon as the tip of the lever begins to drop, stop turning the
tool. The slight amount of friction this operation produces between the orifice and the stem
seat will not harm the stem seat.
2. Attach the in-line tool and the second stage to its accompanying overhauled and properly
adjusted first stage, and mount on an air tank filled to between 2700 and 3500 psig (186 and
240 bar).
3.
Slowly turn on the tank valve. If you hear any leaks, determine the location of the leak, shut the
air off, and repair the leak as necessary.
