3.3 Balancing the circuits
3.3.1 Adjusting the lockshields (where applicable)
Fig. E
Proceed as follows to adjust them:
– Remove cap .
– Turn the cap upside down and, with its cavity manually turn (Fig. E) the
lockshield until it is fully open, 4 turns max.
– Use a CH 4 hex spanner to tighten regulator (Fig. F).
The lockshield is now ready to be set up:
– Loosen regulator by the desired number of turns.
– Insert the cap again.
The cap can also be lead sealed in position using the holes in the
flaps to secure it directly to the manifold, thereby preventing any
tampering.
