How do you tell how much pressure is building and when it reaches the correct amount
50834
You can tell how much pressure is building by the sound of the whistle and the valve auto regulates the pressure

The rocker on the top starts moving when the pot is up to the right pressure. Watch it for a few minutes to be sure it's not rocking too hard. Then let it go for the exact cooking time called for.
50836
The pressure is regulated at 15 psi and is done so by means of the "pressure regulator". The pressure regulator sits on top of the lid (or more precisely sits on the vent pipe) during cooking and 15 psi is achieved when the pressure regulator starts "jiggling. The jiggling also maintains the 15 psi throughout the cooking time. Unless the vent pipe becomes stopped up the pressure can not rise above 15 psi.

All of our current pressure cookers have a 15 pounds weight. The regulator will rock at 15 pounds. Please note that you only want a nice gentle rock, so you will need to adjust your stove to get the regulator rocking slowly. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact our Customer Service Department via phone at 1-800-877-0441 or e-mail us at contact1@gopresto.com. We are open M-F 8-4:15 CT.

there is a gauge in middle along with a button (in front on picture) when the steams starts coming out of the hole where the weight goes (the black piece next to gauge) you time it for 10 mins. then put the weight on and the pressure starts to build up. Once the pressure gauge reads 10 you lower heat on stove to keep the pressure steady at 10 then start to time (usually anywhere from 10-45 mins). When you are done turn heat off and wait until the gauge is at 0 and the front button goes down. Then slowly twist lid and remove by lifting the cover (tilting the back side first so steam doesn't burn your face). there is a gauge in middle along with a button (in front on picture) when the steams starts coming out of the hole where the weight goes (the black piece next to gauge) you time it for 10 mins. then put the weight on and the pressure starts to build up.

If you look at the top of the compressor, there is a red ring around the gauge. You can twist this ring, which moves an indicator that points to the psi you want. When the compressor is on, it will fill to about this point and then stop.

So there is a pressure gauge on the wand. However, inside the tank there is a summer-sausage sized (ha) plastic cylinder with a black "knobby" control on top. Twisting the control changes the amount of pressure that is allowed to build while pumping. Since I'm spraying my trees with this (works fairly well), I leave it on 80lbs.

Adjust your flow knob. Also crank it up. I spray around 35-40 psi depending on the solution. When you set your psi are you watching what happens to the gage after you pull the trigger. My often drops and I have to readjust the pressure. Hope this helps.

20 PSI is the max that it should go up to before the pressure hits the warning part of the gauge.

Yes as this is more than 50% of full scale it is very easy to read and confirm this pressure on a 0-60 psi scale. Many other gauges have a 0-100 or even 0-120 psi scale and it is more difficult to read a relatively low (37 psi) reading on those gauges.

Adjustable output in terms of bubble count, not output pressure. I think it is set at 40 psi.

put the steel at an angle and apply significant pressure in a downward motionit may take a try or two to get right

When i had mine installed the well man explained how the whole thing worked but that was a while back and I've forgot. He did set the PSI for a Max of 70 on mine. I do remember him saying something about setting it too high also. You can probably call your well man and he can explain it. Hope this helps.

Once the canner has vented a steady stream of steam for ten minutes, place the weight on the vent. When it begins to rock gently then you can begin timing, your canner has come to pressure. You may need to watch it and reduce the heat to keep it at a regular rocking motion.

You have to turn your air down to 60. Start at that pressure. You should be fine.

It's all determined by what type of pressure switch you have and how many pounds of pressure are in the tank. If the tank pressure is set too high or low it's going to effect how much water is supplied. Different pressure switches like 20-40, 30-50. 40-60 are going to require different pressure levels inside the tank. Those should be set before the tank is filled with water. It's difficult to say when the pump should come on without knowing what type of switch you have, where it's set, and how much pressure you have put in the tank before installation. Incorrect setup can badly effect water supply and pump function. It's all determined by what type of pressure switch you have and how many pounds of pressure are in the tank.

It holds the pressure as long as you want. You have control over it. If you want to, you can pump it up and then release the pressure as many times as necessary.

something is not right with your numbers? If you have 70 psi of pressure, you should be getting more than 6.5 gpm from your spicket. I have 3 of these sprinklers on the same line with only 40psi and 6 gpm from my spicket. The 3 heads I have running cover an area that is 40 feet in length.

There is a timer on it that you set. This machine works amazingly! You can set the amount of pressure and the amount of time you want to use it. I love it !

Hello Carolyn...I'm not sure I understand what codes your looking for. I see the classification table,would those be the particulars your looking for?They seem to explain at what pressures Stage 1,Stage 2,Stage 3,normal and optimal are. That indicator is on the side of your main reading. The bar shows at what stage your at.
