Time to help out some rookies.
Is anyone else having any of the following problems with the pneumatics. Can anyone offer any solutions?

  1. The 10mm nipple connector (part number KQ2N10-99) calls out to use 10mm tubing on the part list. Howeve, there is no 10 mm tubing in the kit. Is there an alternative way to properly use this part?

  2. One of the manifolds is a 10mm input with 6-6mm outputs (part number KM11-06-10-6). Again where is the 10mm tubing?

  3. The CD. Was it supposed to come from the Kick-Off? Or, was is supposed to come in the box with the pneumatics? Or, is this CD a rumor? I know that there was one last year, but I hear there is a new one for this year.

  4. We are missing 2 10mm nipple connectors (part number KQ2N10-99). Was this left out of everyone’s kit? Or just ours.

Thanks,
Team 340

Ah…the 10 mm nipple connectors are really ‘10 mm tubes’, these are used to connect to the manifolds.

The correct way to connect it all is:

TANK > 6 mm tube > REGULATOR > 10 mm nipple > MANIFOLD > 10 mm nipple > -MANIFOLD > MANIFOLD PLUG

Good Luck All!!
