Give it a test. You should have it set to release at about 120 psi. If you go above 120 psi loosen it off, if it lets go before 120, tighten it up. (I like to do these adjustments with the system depressured.)

When you get it set to 120, then tighten up the lock nut snug to the cap.

Check it again... and you should be good to go.

Jason,

Please read rule <R102>.

The wording is archaic as years ago the valve was pre-installed on the compressor. However, the valve comes pre-adjusted and should not be tampered with.

Regards,

Mike
