ADJUSTMENT 1. Set linkage for desired high and low air pressure: 16 osi to 4.25 osi. 2. Screw spring to about 2/3 of maximum negative setting. 3. Light, turn to high fire, and adjust limiting orifice for desired high fire ratio. 4. Turn to low fire and set spring for minimum gas for stable flame. 5. Turn to high and reset high fire ratio. 6. Turn to low and reset spring for low fire gas. 7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 if necessary.
