4. To preset test pressure or conduct a simulated test on unit, place a ballvalve on end of outlet hose and leave open. Start motor. Bleed air from system, thru hosebib or needlevalve. Close ballvalve on end of outlet hose and begin to build pressure. To adjust pressure relief valve turn clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to decrease.
