CLEANING THE
INLINE REGULATOR
Disconnect the hosing from your Inline Regulator allowing it to be unscrewed
from the Front Regulator Mount (FRM) (SEE FIGURE 6.8).
Turn the Inline Regulator upside down and carefully unscrew the two sections,
taking care not to lose any of the washers that form the spring pack inside the
regulator (SEE FIGURE 6.9).
By rmly gripping the exposed end of the brass regulator piston, carefully
remove the piston and spring stack in its entirety (SEE FIGURE 6.10).
The spring pack comprises of 16 sprung washers, which must be in the
correct conguration for the inline regulator to perform at the required
pressure range (SEE FIGURE 6.11).
Insert a 1/8th inch hex key into the adjuster screw in the bottom half of the
inline regulator, and wind the screw clockwise through
the bottom section of the regulator body (SEE FIGURE
6.12) and pull free when it will no longer turn
upwards anymore.

Using a dry Q-tip, clean the seal that sits at the top of the body of the bottom
section of the Inline regulator (SEE FIGURE 6.13). Using a light oil and a fresh
Q-tip, re-lubricate the seal ready for re-assembly.
Thoroughly clean the two o-rings on the adjuster screw and lubricate ready
for re-assembly (SEE FIGURE 6.14). Inspect top face of adjuster unit for any
excessive wear or damage as this could cause inline regulator to creep (SEE
FIGURE 6.15).
NOTE: The sealing face on the inline regulator piston can also cause the
regulator to creep or “supercharge”, so this should also be checked.
With the threaded section towards to the base of the regulator body, re-insert
the adjuster screw into the bottom half of the regulator body (SEE FIGURE 6.16).
Apply light pressure to the top of the adjuster screw and using a 1/8th" hex
key wind the adjuster screw counter clockwise until it stops at the base of the
regulator body. Turn the adjuster screw three and a half turns in a clockwise
direction to set the inline regulator pressure at approximately 300 - 350 psi.
Next take the piston and spring stack and clean the seal at the top of the
piston, re-lubricating it with a light smear of Vaseline ready for re-assembly
(SEE FIGURE 6.17). Insert the piston and spring stack into the top half of the inline
regulator body (SEE FIGURE 6.18).
Keeping the top half of the inline regulator
upside down, screw the two halves
of the inline regulator together
(SEE FIGURE 6.19)
.
You have now stripped, cleaned,
lubricated and assembled your inline
regulator.

NOTE: IF ANY SEALS ARE DAMAGED, REPLACE AS NECESSARY.
EXTRA SEALS ARE AVAILABLE IN EGO PARTS KITS AVAILABLE
ONLINE AT WWW.PLANETECLIPSE.COM.
NOTE: THE ADJUSTER SCREW CAN ONLY BE REMOVED BY
TURNING IT UPWARDS THROUGH THE BOTTOM SECTION OF THE
INLINE REGULATOR. THE REGULATOR WILL BECOME DAMAGED IT
THE ADJUSTER SCREW IS REMOVED INCORRECTLY.

WARNING: DE-GAS YOUR MARKER, DISCHARGING ANY STORED
GAS IN A SAFE DIRECTION, AND REMOVE THE BARREL AND
LOADER TO MAKE THE EGO EASIER TO WORK ON.
