affecting the size of the window adjust the main ad wheel Figure 1 to the desired setting using the source to verify each switch setting Each tine the wheel represents an approximate window shift of PSI for the EPS40EXP and 6.6 PSI for the EPS For each 1 2 rotation of the adjustment wheel window changes by approximately 11 PSI for the EPS and 40 PSI for the EPS 120EXP 2 To adjust the pressure window size and the setting of the pressure window adjust the main wheel Figure 1 until the high switch SW1 at the desired pressure using the pressure test Decrease the pressure until the low switch
